- Consider a Stackelberg duopoly:There are two firms in an industry with demand Q = 1 − Pd.The “leader” chooses a quantity qL to produce. The “follower” observes qL and chooses a quantity qF.Suppose now that the cost function is Ci(qi) = qi2 for i = L, F. (a) Find the subgame perfect equilibrium. (b) Compare the equilibrium you found with the Nash equilibrium if the game was simultaneous (i.e., Cournot competition). Is the Nash equilibrium of the Cournot game also a Nash equilibrium of the sequential game? Why or why not?1 Consider a duopoly with firm 1 and firm 2. Their cost functions are 2q₁ and cq2, respectively, where 2 < c < 10. The market demand function is p=10-Q, where Q=q₁+9₂. (a) Assume that the two firms play the Bertrand price game. Find the firms' price choices in the Bertrand equilibrium. (b) Assume that the two firms play the Cournot quantity game. Find the firms' quantity choices in the Cournot equilibrium.2. An industry contains two firms that have identical cost functions C(q)=10+2q. The inverse demand function for the market is P=50-2Q where Q is the total industry output. Assuming the firms compete in quantities: Find the firms' best response functions. b. Solve for the Cournot Nash Equilibrium of the game. What is the total industry output in equilibrium? What is the equilibrium price? с. i. If both firms could collude, what would the industry output and price be? Suppose they decide that each firm produces half of the industry output found in part (i). Is this agreement self-enforcing? Explain. ii. a.
- 1. Two firms (A and B) play a competition game (i.e. Cournot) in which they can choose any Qi from 0 to ¥. The firms have the same cost functions C(Qi) = 10Qi + 0.5Qi2, and thus MCi = 10 + Qi. They face a market demand curve of P = 220 – (QA + QB). Now assume firm A chooses quantity first. Firm B observes this choice and then chooses its own quantity. d)Firm A has MRA = 150 – 4QA/3. What are the equilibrium QA and QB selected in this game? e)What is the equilibrium price, and how much profit does each firm collect?1. The market (inverse) demand function for a homogeneous good is P(Q) = 10 - Q. There are two firms: firm 1 has a constant marginal cost of 2 for producing each unit of the good, and firm 2 has a constant marginal cost of 1. The two firms compete by setting their quantities of production, and the price of the good is determined by the market demand function given the total quantity. a. Calculate the Nash equilibrium in this game and the corresponding market price when firms simultaneously choose quantities. b. Now suppose firml moves earlier than firm 2 and firm 2 observes firm 1 quantity choice before choosing its quantity find optimal choices of firm 1 and firm 2.consider a market with inverse demand P(Q) = 10 − Q and two firms with cost curves C1(q1) = 2q1 and C2(q2) = 2q2 (that is, they have the same marginal costs and no fixed costs). They compete by choosing quantities. Now consider a modified game, which goes as follows: First, Firm 1 decides whether to enter the market or not. As in the previous question, there is no fixed cost, even if the firm decides to enter. Next, Firm 2 observes Firm 1’s entry choice and decides whether to enter or not.Firm 2 has no fixed cost as well. If no firm enters, the game ends. If only one firm enters, that firm chooses quantity, operating as a monopolist. If both firms enter, then Firm 1 chooses quantity q1. Then, Firm 2 observes Firm 1’s choice of q1 and then chooses q2 (like in the previous question). If a firm does not enter, it gets a payoff of zero. Which of the following statements is consistent with the SPNE of this game? Hint: you don’t need complicated math to solve this problem.(a) Neither firm…
- Consider a Cournot duopoly. The inverse demand function of the market is given by p = 10-Q, where p is the market price, and Q = 91 +92 is the aggregate output. The marginal costs of the two firms are C₁ 1 and C₂ = 4. = (a) Solve for the Nash equilibrium of the game including firm out- puts, market price, aggregate output, and firm profits. (b) Now suppose these two firms play a 2-stage game. In stage 1, they produce capacities 9₁ and 92, which are equal to the Nash equilibrium quantities of the Cournot game characterised by part (a). In stage 2, they simultaneously decide on their prices p₁ and P2. The marginal cost for each firm to sell up to capacity is 0. It is impossible to sell more than capacity. The residual demand for 10 Piāj if Pi > Pj firm ij, is Di (Pi, Pj) = 10-Pi 2 = if pipi. (Note, if Pi < Pj 10 - Pi here we assume that the efficient/parallel rationing applies). Prove that it is a Nash equilibrium of the second stage subgame that each firm charges the market clearing…Consider an oligopoly market with 3 firms. They face a demand curve given by p(Q) = 300 – 5Q, where Pmin refers to the lowest price offered by any firm. The marginal costs are the following: C₁ = : 80, C₂ 210. The fixed costs for each firm are zero and firms compete a la Bertrand. Which of the following is consistent with a Nash equilibrium of this game? € refers to the minimal price change possible. = (a) Pmin (b) Pmin (c) Pmin (d) Pmin (e) Pmin = 80 and only firm 1 sells. 200, C3 - 190 and only firm 1 sells. = = 200 - € and only firm 1 sells. 200 and firms 1 and 2 sell. - = = 210 and all firms sell.Consider two firms choosing quantities sequentially in a duopoly setting (i.e. the Stackelberg game). The two firms have identical products. Each firm has no fixed costs, and faces marginal costs equal to 5 plus the quantity it produces (i.e. MC = 5 + q). Market demand is given by Q = 46 - P, where Q is market quantity and P is market price. In equilibrium, how much will the firm that moves first produce?

ExplainIn a repeated game of Bertrand competition, suppose two firms are playing the grim trigger strategy. They discount future payoffs at B. A firm will play the monopoly price and earn 8 every period, so long as the other firm does the same. However, if a firm deviates from playing the monopoly price, the other firm plays the one-shot Bertrand outcome forever.
