B. |
Only the Bertrand model can be right because in the real world firms do make pricing decisions. |

- You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products: splishy splashers, flopsicles, and cannies. All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods. Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of splishy splashers increases by 10%, the quantity of flopsicles sold decreases by 26% and the quantity of cannies sold increases by 14%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between splishy splashers and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together. Complete the first column of the following table by computing the…arrow_forwardCould you help me with part 2 please?arrow_forwardCooperative Games - Game Theoryarrow_forward
- Which one of the following statements about the Bertrand model is incorrect? A. The strategic variables of the game are the prices. B. With homogeneous product and identical constant marginal cost among the firms, the Nash equilibrium outcome is referred to as the "Bertrand paradox". C. The Bertrand model and its predictions differ from the Cournot model in important ways. D. One of the above is incorrect.arrow_forwardConsider a modified Traveler’s Dilemma. In terms of strategy options that the players have and the dollars they earn, it is like the standard Traveler’s Dilemma, but the players do not have endless appetite for money. Up to 100 dollars, each dollar feels like a dollar. But any moneybeyond 100 is psychologically like 100 dollars. Assuming that players are maximizers of ‘psychological’ dollars instead of real dollars, describe all the Nash equilibria of this modified Traveler’s Dilemma.arrow_forwardhelp please answer in text form with proper workings and explanation for each and every part and steps with concept and introduction no AI no copy paste remember answer must be in proper format with all workingarrow_forward
- rituo? A. Identify the pure-strategy Nash equilibrium/a in the game below, and identify the Pareto efficient strategy combinations. (You may simply state these, you do not need to show how you derived your answer.) B. Identify the mixed-strategy equilibrium to the game. Show your work. You may use the equations from the "generic" 2X2 game if you wish. Doing it the long way is fine, however. C. State the payoff for each player in the mixed-strategy equilibrium. Is the mixed-strategy combination Pareto efficient?

- See attachmentsarrow_forwardWhich one of the following statements is TRUE? Select one: a. None of the options b. Every Nash equilibrium involves dominated strategies c. Every Nash equilibrium is с. pareto efficient d. Every Nash equilibrium is unique e. Every Nash equilibrium involves dominant strategiesarrow_forwardTrue/False For each of the following, you MUST indicate whether the statement is TRUE or FALSE and you MUST explain why. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. A Nash Equilibrium is always Pareto Efficient. When there is production, a Competitive Equilibrium is not always Pareto Efficient due to possible increasing returns to scale. A Prisoner's Dilemma must involve prisoners. This is what makes the model interesting. A Pigouvian Tax to correct for the inefficiencies caused by a negative externality should be corrected by placing the tax between the Private Demand and the Social Demand at the intersection of Supply and Private Demand. To find the Social Welfare Function, simply add up the individual utility functions of each member of society.arrow_forward
