Amir Efrati at The Information spills details from an allegedly leaked internal Amazon document. The paperwork is said to have been produced by a potential partner and two people who were involved in discussions with Amazon. According to Efrati, the document discussed strategies for penetrating smartphone markets in China, Europe and the United States. Earlier discussions also mentioned Latin America as a possibility. The phone, which has been referred to as “Project Aria,” is likely to go on sale this year, according to Efrati. There’s no specific price, but he says Amazon is “determined” to “keep the phone at a small fraction of the iPhone’s $550-and-up price tag.” If Amazon does launch a smartphone this year, it’s unclear if it will fall under the company’s own brand or if it will work with a partner. Efrati says Amazon was “in talks” with “multiple hardware…Alibaba is a Chinese e-commerce firm similar to Amazon.com in the United States.

- question 1 a b and cWhat Is Win-Win Negotiation?5. Two firms compete repeatedly in a market of homogeneous goods. Each year, the firms can choose to charge a low or high price. The following payoff table summarizes their payoffs each year. The competition goes on indefinitely. Let 5 E (0, 1) denote the discount factor for both firms. Firm 2 Low High Low 0, 0 5, 0 Firm 1 High 0, 5 4, 4 Consider an n-period punishment trigger strategy s: • Play "High price" in the first stage. • In stage t> 2, if some player deviated to "Low price" in the last period when he is supposed to play "High price", then play "Low price" for n periods and then restart the game. In other words, after playing "Low price" for n periods, play "High price" in the next stage as if it is the first stage of the game. Otherwise, play "High price". Find the necessary and sufficient condition on & for (s, s) to be an SPE. A sufficiently simplified inequality will do.
- 2Are these statements true or false? Provide a detailed explanation as to how you arrived at your answer: 1. If someone has linear indifference curves between contingent commodity bundles, then they must be risk averse and the risk premium is positive. 2.
