Even though they're separated, Paul and Camille decide to study a price-fixing agreement that will mutually benefit them. The idea is that they both agree to a price higher than the Bertrand equilibrium price, using the Grim Trigger strategy (if they detect a deviation from the agreed-upon price, they switch to playing the static Bertrand prices forever). What is the weakest assumption on the discount factor & e (0, 1) that supports the existence of a SPNE with collusion in this market (that is, a SPNE with a price strictly higher than the Bertrand equilibrium price from the previous question)?

Step by step

- Part 2: First Long Question There are two French bakeries in a small town: Le Meilleur Croissant (C), owned by Camille, and Le Meilleur Pain Au Chocolat (P), owned by Paul. In each period of an infinitely repeated game, they compete a la Bertrand, with market demand given by Q(pmin) = 10 - Pmin- Even though they sell identical goods, they have different marginal costs: cc = 2 and %3D Cp = 4 (Paul bakes just as well but is bad at business decisions). There are no fixed costs. Question 6 Turns out that Camille and Paul are married, and so they choose prices to maximize the joint profits of the two firms. Because both love baking and love each other, they also jointly decide that both firms should be selling positive amounts in their optimal plan. What prices do they choose? Pc = 6, pp = 11 Pc = 6.5, pp = 6.5 Pc = 6, pp = 6 Pc = 7, pp = 7 %3D O pc = 6, pp = 7. Using a payoff matrix to determine the equilibrium outcome Suppose there are only two firms that sell tablets: Padmania and Capturesque. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn, depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its tablets. Capturesque Pricing High Low Padmania Pricing High 9, 9 3, 15 Low 15, 3 7, 7 For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Padmania prices low and Capturesque prices high, Padmania will earn a profit of $15 million, and Capturesque will earn a profit of $3 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Padmania and Capturesque are both profit-maximizing firms. If Padmania prices high, Capturesque will make more profit if it chooses a price, and if Padmania prices low, Capturesque will make more profit if it chooses a price. If Capturesque prices high, Padmania will make more profit if it chooses a price, and if Capturesque prices low, Padmania…II.2 Companies A and B can compete on advertising or R&D. The profits (in millions of $ million) of the two firms are given in the table below assumig that they play a one-shot simultancous mov game (the profit or firm A is listed first in every cell of the matrix, followed by the profit of firm B): Advertising R&D 50, 25 10, 70 20, 40 60, 35 1. Find the mixed strategy equilibrium. A\B Advertising R&D 2. What are the expected profits for both firms in this equilibrium?
- 1. Two firms (A and B) play a competition game (i.e. Cournot) in which they can choose any Qi from 0 to ¥. The firms have the same cost functions C(Qi) = 10Qi + 0.5Qi2, and thus MCi = 10 + Qi. They face a market demand curve of P = 220 – (QA + QB). a. Assume firm A chooses quantity first. Frim B observes this choice and then chooses its own quantity. What is Frim B's profit as a function of QA and QB? b. Firm B has MRB = 220 – 2QB – QA. What is firm B’s best response to an arbitrary QA selected by firm A? c. Given that firm A expects firm B’s best response, what is firm A’s profit as a function of QA? (Hint: the only unknown variable in the profit function should be QA) d. Firm A has MRA = 150 – 4QA/3. What are the equilibrium QA and QB selected in this game? e. What is the equilibrium price, and how much profit does each firm collect?Consider the following Cournot game with two firms i = 1, 2. The demand function is P(Q) = 100 − Q, with Q = q1 + q2. The production costs for firm i are: C(qi) = 400 + 2qi . Find the nash equilibrium of this game. plz answer correct calculatuon asap plz dont answer by pepar1. The market (inverse) demand function for a homogeneous good is P(Q) = 10 - Q. There are two firms: firm 1 has a constant marginal cost of 2 for producing each unit of the good, and firm 2 has a constant marginal cost of 1. The two firms compete by setting their quantities of production, and the price of the good is determined by the market demand function given the total quantity. a. Calculate the Nash equilibrium in this game and the corresponding market price when firms simultaneously choose quantities. b. Now suppose firml moves earlier than firm 2 and firm 2 observes firm 1 quantity choice before choosing its quantity find optimal choices of firm 1 and firm 2.
- There are two firms in the market (duopoly). These two firms are competingsimultaneously. The first firm chooses its output level (x) by predicting the second firm’soutput (y). Let c denote the total cost function c(x) = x and c(y) = y. Also, let’s assumethat the inverse demand function is p(Y) = 7 - Y where Y = x + y. (1) Obtain the reactionfunction of the first firm. (2) Find the equilibrium (output and profit of each firm) whentwo firms simultaneously competeSuppose that currently there are no airlines serving the city of South Podunk. Both Accommodating Airlines and Friendly Flyers are looking to enter that morket (They are the only two.) The figure shows in extensive form the possible outcomes of the two firms' decisions. The payoffs represent, in thousands per month, the profit (or loss) the firm will realize from its decision. What does this extensive form game Indicate about the decision to enter the South Podunk market? Accommodating Airlines (AA) Moves First Friendly Flyers (FF) Move Second Profits (AA FF) Enter A (8, 5) Enter FF Don't Enter C 12. 0) AA Enter 8 (0, 10) Don't Enter FF2 Don't Enter D (0, 0) Multiple Choice Both airlines are better off by entering this market The outcome of this game is a prisoner's dilemma. O Accommodating Airlines has a first-mover advantage in this game. Friendly Flyers has a first-mover advantage in this game.2 firms are engaged in Cournot competition; firm A faces the cost curveCA(yA)=40yAand firm Bfaces the cost curveCB(yB)=40yB. The inverse market demand curve isP(y)=100y, whereyrepresents market level of output. a)Define the Cournot game. b)In 1 or 2 sentences explain why a firm has no incentive to deviate from the Cournot Nash equilibrium(holding their opponent’s strategy constant). c)Find the Cournot Nash Equilibrium. d)Now suppose instead of playing their strategies at the same time, firm A moves first and then firm B moves second(sequentialgame).Does firm A earn higher profits in this game or the game in part c)?
