Homework Answers
e)
Consumer prefer the cournot equilibrium. In the cournot equilibrium, output is larger than the collusive equilibrium. The price in the cournot equilibrium is less than collusive price.
F)
Firms do not prefer the cournot equilibrium, as the profit margin are low in this market. Profits margins are larger in the Collusive market.
Therefore firms prefer the Collusive market.

Suppose the two firms cannot collude and instead compete in the Cournot Model in the market described in question 1 (market demand is still Q=18-P) with the same cost (C(Q)=1/2 *Q^2). Set up firm 1’s profit maximization. Solve for firm 1’s best response function. Solve for firm 1’s quantity, firm 2’s quantity, the equilibrium market quantity, and price. Show your work. Is this a Nash equilibrium? Do consumers prefer the Cournot competition equilibrium over the collusion of the two firms...

3. There are two firms that compete according to Cournot competition. Firm 1 has a cost function G(91) = 5.59+12. Firm 2 has a cost function C(q2) = 2.5q3 + 18. These firms cannot discriminate, so there is just one price that is determined by the aggregate demand. The inverse demand equation is P(Q) = 600 – 0 Where total supply Q-q1+92. (e) Use your best response equations to mathematically solve for the equilibrium quantities qi 9, Q". equilibrium price...

1. Consider the following asymmetric version of the Cournot duopoly model. Two firms compete by simultaneously choosing the quantities (q, and q2) they produce. Their products are homogeneous, and market demand is given by p- 260-2Q, where Q-q +q2. Firm 1 has a cost advantage; Firm 1 produces at zero cost, while Firm 2 produces at a constant average cost of 40. (The difference in costs is what makes this an asymmetric game.) a. Derive both firms' profit functions, as...

Two firms compete as a duopoly. The demand they face is P = 100 - 3Q. The cost function for each firm is C(Q) = 4Q. Determine output, and profits for each firm in a Cournot oligopoly If firms collude, determine output and profit for each firm. If firm 1 cheats on the collusion in item 2, determine output and profit for each firm. Graph the reaction functions and identify the points from parts 1, 2 and 3. Determine output,...
