Three firms share a market. The demand function is P(q1, 92, 93) = 10 – q1 – 92 – 93, where q; is the output of firm i, Player i. The marginal cost per unit for each firm is zero. Suppose firm 1 is a market leader, and that firm 2, and firm 3 choose q2 and q3 simultaneously after observing q1 Find the SPE of this game. How much is produced by firm 2? Numerical answer How much is produced by firm 1, 2, and 3?

Problem 13.3 (H) A team game is a cost-minimization game in which all agents have the same cost function: C1(s) for every outcome s. In a dummy game, the cost of every agent i is independent of her strategy: C;(8i,s-i) = and every s;, s; E S;. Prove that a cost-minimization game with agent cost functions C1,..., Ck is a potential game if and only if Ck(s) ... C:(s', s_i) for every s_¡ C;(s) = C{(s) + C¢(s) for every i and s, where Cf,..., C is a team game and Cf,..., C is a dummy game. •.• )

Two firms X and Y compete with each other. Firm X can produce one of three products X1, X2, or X3. Similarly, firm Y can produce one of three products Y1, Y1, and Y3. Each firm's profit depends on its own and its competitor's decision about which product to produce. These profits are given in the table below where each cell presents profits corresponding to a pair of chosen strategies with the first number being the profit of firm X and the second being the profit of firm Y. For example, if X chooses to produce X3 and Y chooses to produce Y1, the profit of X will be $15 and the profit of Y will be $20. The firms make their product choice decisions simultaneously and independently of each other.

The total cost for a product-testing firm is C(q)=70 + 20q2 q= number of products tested Price of a product = average cost Each corporation purchases one product test per year from a product-testing firm in the same city. All other inputs are ubiquitous. Suppose five corporations are initially distributed uniformly, with one corporation in each city (A,B,C,D,E). Is the initial distribution a Nash Equilibrium? Demonstrate it is not by finding how much one corporation would pay if they deviate and move to another city? What is the average price of having two tests conducted? (Which is the price that the corporation would pay if they "live" in a city where two tests are conducted) The average price of moving and thus, having two tests is: $_____
An object is sold in a first-price auction – thus, the highest bidder wins the object and price is equal to the highest bid. There are two bidders, an "Odd" bidder (player 1) and an "Even" bidder (player 2). The odd bidder must bid an odd integer between 1 and 9, while the Even bidder must bid an even integer between 2 and 10. (So the strategy sets are {1,3, ...,9} and {2,4, ..., 10}.) The value of the object to the Odd bidder is 8, and value of the object to the Even bidder is 7. The payoff to the winner is the value of the object minus the price, and the payoff to the loser is 0. (a) Write the game in its strategic form. (b) Find all Nash equilibria.
QUESTION 13 Consider a market where two firms (1 and 2) produce differentiated goods and compete in prices. The demand for firm 1 is given by D₁(P₁, P2) = 140 - 2p1 + P2 and demand for firm 2's product is D2 (P1, P2) 140 - 2p2 + P1 Both firms have a constant marginal cost of 20. What is the Nash equilibrium price of firm 1? (Only give a full number; if necessary, round to the lower integer; no dollar sign.)

Table 3. This table shows a game played between two firms, Firm A and Firm B. In this game each firm must decide how much output (Q) to produce: 5 units or 6 units. The profit for each firm is given in the table as (Profit for Firm A. Profit for Firm B). Firm A Q=5 Q=6 Firm B Q=5 (24, 24) (30, 10) Q=6 (10,30) (19, 19) Refer to Table 3. The dominant strategy For Firm A is to produce Select one: O a. 5 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 5 units. b. 5 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 6 units. c. 6 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 5 units. d. 6 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 6 units.
