Provide a real -world example of a market that approximates each oligopoly setting, and explain your reasoninge) Cournot oligopoly modelf) Stackelberg oligopoly modelg) Bertrand oligopoly model
Consider a oligopoly with two firms. Each firm has constant marginal cost of 3 dollar per unit and zero fixed costs. Suppose the market demand curve is P = 15-Q, where Q=Q1+Q2 is the sum of the quantities produced by both firms. Suppose each firm can produce either 1, 2, 3, or 4 units. Which of the following is an optimal collusive outcome for the firms? O Each firm produces 2 units. Each firm produces 4 units. O Each firm produces 3 units. O Each firm produces 1 unit.

Please no written by hand solution Suppose two firms compete in quantities (Cournot). Market demand is given by P = 260 − 2Q, where Q = q1 + q2. Both firms have constant MC = AT C = 20.a. Solve for the Cournot equilibrium and find the Cournot equilibrium profits for each firm.b. Now suppose the two firms formed a cartel. What would be the profits for each firm then?c. If firm 2 sticks to the cartel agreement (quantity), then what is the best response for firm 1 (if firm 1 were to deviate)? Find the profits for firm 1 from deviating.d. How large must the probability-adjusted discount factor be in order for the cartel to be stable?e. How would the answer to part d. change if the two firms were competing in prices (Bertrand)?Please answer all steps, because no too much detailed answers required.
In the Cournot oliogopoly model, firms compete by setting quantities. In class we noted that as the number of firms in the market grows very large, the outcome looks increasingly like what other model we studied? Provide intuition for your answer.
Consider two cigarette companies, PM Inc. and Brown Inc. If neither company advertises, the two companies split the market. If they both advertise, they again split the market, but profits are lower, since each company must bear the cost of advertising. Yet if one company advertises while the other does not, the one that advertises attracts customers from the other. Refer to Scenario 17-3. What is PM Inc.'s dominant strategy? to advertise only if Brown Inc. does not advertise to refrain from advertising, regardless of whether Brown Inc. advertises to advertise, regardless of whether Brown Inc. advertises to advertise only if Brown Inc. advertises
Assume that the market for oil is made up of two firms: Exxon Mobil and Chevron. Also assume that New England has dozens of breweries and each of these make beers with different tastes, colors, and aromas. Which of the following statements is true? The market structure for oil is an oligopoly, and the one for beer is monopolistic competition. The market structure for oil is monopolistic competition, and the one for beer is an oligopoly. The market structure for both oil and beer is an oligopoly. The market structure for both oil and beer is monopolistic competition.
In 2018, Delta Air Lines said that it was increasing its fares by 4% because its fuel bill jumped by 33% from the previous yoar. Other airines also announced fare increases. Assuming that these firms are oligopolistic and the outcome is a Nash-Coumot equilibrium, why did the prices rise less than in proportion to the firms' cost? Price rose less than the firms' costs in this oligopoly because O A. demand is not perfectly inelastic. O B. consumers are not price sensitive. OC. the firms are price takers. D. air travel has no close substitutes.
2. Consider the following game: Soapy Inc. and Suddies Inc. are the only producers of soap powder. They collude and agree to share the market equally. If neither firm cheats on the agreement, each makes $1 million profit. If either firm cheats, the cheat makes a profit of $1.5 million, while the complier incurs a loss of $0.5 million. If both cheat, they break even. Neither firm can monitor the other's actions. a) Construct the payoff matrix. b) What is the dominant strategy? c) What is the nash equilibrium for this game?
8. Two firms, the only firms in the market, sell the same product and have the same marginal cost. They realise they would be better off if they didn't compete with each other. They enter an alternating offers bargaining game to decide how they will divide the monopoly profit, n. They have three periods to come to an agreement. If no agreement is reached after three periods, the firms will compete simultaneously in prices. The firms toss a coin to decide who makes the first offer in the bargaining game. Firm 1 wins and decides to go first. Each firm has a discount factor o. a) Draw the game tree. b) What is the subgame perfect equilibrium when o = 0.5? c) What is the equilibrium payoff for each firm? d) Was Firm 1 wise to opt to make the first offer? Explain your answer.
Deviating from the collusive outcome Please check the image there is a graph Mays and McCovey are beer-brewing companies that operate in a duopoly (two-firm oligopoly). The daily marginal cost (MC) of producing a can of beer is constant and equals $0.60 per can. Assume that neither firm had any startup costs, so marginal cost equals average total cost (ATC) for each firm. Suppose that Mays and McCovey form a cartel, and the firms divide the output evenly. (Note: This is only for convenience; nothing in this model requires that the two companies must equally share the output.) Place the black point (plus symbol) on the following graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and combined quantity of output if Mays and McCovey choose to work together. When they act as a profit-maximizing cartel, each company will produce cans $ and charge $ per can. Given this information, each firm earns a daily profit of $ , so the daily total industry…
