Two firms operating in the same market must decide between charging a high price or a low
price. The Payoffs are as below. Firm A's profit is listed before the comma, B's profit after the
comma.
Firm B
Firm A
Low Price
High Price
Low Price
16, 17
7, 28
High Price
28, 7
22, 22
If each firm tries to choose a price that is optimal, regardless of the other firm's price, what is
the Nash equilibrium? Does either firm have a dominant strategy?
Imagine a small town with three car repair shops competing for a limited number of customers. Explain why the three shops working together to keep their prices high is unlikely to be a Nash equilibrium.
The following is a static game:
Convert this game into dynamic form game.
Find the Nash equilibrium and subgame perfect Nash equilibrium of this game.
If you consider this game as dynamic then what kind of dynamic game is this.

- The New York Times reports that Wal-Mart has decided to challenge Netflix and enter the online DVD-by-mail market. Because of economies of scale, Wal-Mart has a slight cost advantage relative to Netflix. Wal-Mart is considering the use of a limit pricing strategy. It can enter the market by matching Netflix on price. If it does, and Netflix maintains its price, then both firms would earn $5 million. But if Netflix drops its price in response, Wal-Mart would have to follow and would earn $2 million; Netflix would earn $3 million. Or Wal-Mart could enter the market with a price that is below Netflix's current price but above its marginal cost. If it does, Netflix would make one of two moves. It could reduce its price to below that of Wal-Mart. If it does, Wal-Mart will earn a profit of $0, and Netflix will earn a profit of $2 mil- lion. Or Netflix could keep its present price. If Netflix keeps its present price, Wal-Mart can keep its present price and earn $6 million (while Netflix earns…arrow_forwardDefine game theory.arrow_forwardWhat is the distinctive characteristic of the Nash equilibrium?arrow_forward

Their stands are next to each other on a street and consumers regard them as identical. The marginal cost of an orange juice is $1. The demand for orange juice every hour is Q = 20 − P where P is the lowest price between the two salespersons. If their prices are equal they split demand equally. a. If they set prices simultaneously (prices can be any real number), what is the Nash equilibrium price? b.
