- Three oligopolistic firms ("1", "2" and "3") conduct quantity competition in a certain market. The interactions between them take place as follows: firm 1 defines its production quantity, which is immediately observed by firms 2 and 3; then, firm 2 makes its decision on how much it will produce, and only after observing the decisions of firms 1 and 2 does firm 3 finally make its respective choice. Furthermore, the total costs of firms 1, 2 and 3 correspond respectively to c₁(q₁) = 10q₁, c₂(q₂) = 8q₂ and c₃(q₃) = 2q₃, and the firms face a (inverse) demand given by p(Q) = 110 - Q (where Q = q₁ + q₂ + q₃). Based on this information, determine what will be the total amount produced by the firms in the (single) ENPS for that game. (Note: the correct answer is an integer.)arrow_forwardIn the classic Bertrand model of oligopoly (e.g., a duopoly with no capacity constraints, product differentiation or innovation), price for each firm will be set: at the monopoly price above MC at MC below MCarrow_forwardWhat kind of barriers to entry exist in oligopoly?

Suppose that Jane is then presented with the menu {7 units of oranges, 6 units of apples} What must Jane's choice be from this menu so that her behavior conforms to the axioms of rational choice? Explain. (b) Suppose that Frederick choices from the following menus are as follows • For any e > 0³, out of the menu {(4 + ɛ apples and 3 bananas), (5 oranges and 3 bananas)}, Frederick chooses (4 + ε apples and 3 bananas). • Out of the menu {(4 apples and 3 bananas), (5 oranges and 3 bananas)}, Fred- erick chooses (5 oranges and 3 bananas) What axiom of rational choice does Frederick's behavior evidently violate?
