- How do pricing strategies vary across markets that are characterized bymonopolistic, oligopolistic, monopolistic competition, and purecompetition?Which of the following is shared by both monopolistically competitive markets and prefectly competitive markets?Assume there is just one kebab stall selling kebab to students at the University of London, which we will call Ammar's. Because there is no direct competition at the stall, the seller can sell his kebab for $4 and earn $800 per day. However, Anwar, a Kebab vendor, is considering establishing up shop just down the road from Ammar's in the University of London market. When confronted by Anwar, Ammar has two options: sell at the same high price ($4) or charge a low price below the cost in the hopes of discouraging Anwar from setting up his stall. The game and payoffs for the standard game between Ammar and Anwar are listed below in the image attached. a. Find the Nash equilibrium or equilibria (if any). Justify your answer clearly.b.

- Could companies implementing two pricing strategies at the same time? For instance, cost based pricing and competition based pricingThe New York Times reports that Wal-Mart has decided to challenge Netflix and enter the online DVD-by-mail market. Because of economies of scale, Wal-Mart has a slight cost advantage relative to Netflix. Wal-Mart is considering the use of a limit pricing strategy. It can enter the market by matching Netflix on price. If it does, and Netflix maintains its price, then both firms would earn $5 million. But if Netflix drops its price in response, Wal-Mart would have to follow and would earn $2 million; Netflix would earn $3 million. Or Wal-Mart could enter the market with a price that is below Netflix's current price but above its marginal cost. If it does, Netflix would make one of two moves. It could reduce its price to below that of Wal-Mart. If it does, Wal-Mart will earn a profit of $0, and Netflix will earn a profit of $2 mil- lion. Or Netflix could keep its present price. If Netflix keeps its present price, Wal-Mart can keep its present price and earn $6 million (while Netflix earns…Consider two firms that produce the same good and competesetting quantities. The firms face a linear demand curve given by P(Q) =1 − Q, where the Q is the total quantity offered by the firms. The costfunction for each of the firms is c(qi) = cqi, where 0 < c < 1 and qiis the quantity offered by the firm i = 1, 2. Find the Nash equilibriumoutput choices of the firms, as well as the total output and the price, andcalculate the output and the welfare loss compared to the competitiveoutcome. How would the answer change if the firms compete settingprices? What can we conclude about the relationship between competitionand the number of firms?
- Suppose that a company operates in the monopolistically competitive market for denim jackets. The following graph shows the demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve for the firm. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the long-run monopolistically competitive equilibrium price and quantity for this firm. Next, place a grey point (star symbol) to indicate the minimum average total cost the firm faces and the quantity associated with that cost. ? 100 PRICE (Dollars per jacket) 8 20 60 50 X ATC 20 MC MR 2 2 2 2 10 0 0 30 40 50 60 70 QUANTITY (Thousands of jackets) 10 20 80 Demand 90 100 Mon Comp Outcome Min Unit CostSuppose that a company operates in the monopolistically competitive market for denim jackets.

Recently, both newspapers considered changing the prices they charge for their Sunday editions. Suppose they considered the following payoff table for making a simultaneous decision to charge either a low price of $0.50 or a high price of $1.00. Tampa’s profits are shown in regular type. St. Petersburg’s profits are shown in bold. 5. This newspaper pricing decision ________ (is, is not) a Prisoners' Dilemma.
