3. (35 points Suppose that there are K( 3) firms operate in a market with demand function given by P(Q) = 100-Q, where Q=91 +92 + ... +2K, and qi is the quantity produced by firm i. Each firm has a constant marginal cost of production, c = 10, and no fixed cost. The firms choose their quantities dynamically as follows: Firm 1, which is the industry leader, chooses qı € (0, 100). All other firms i = 2,..., K...

Two profit-maximizing firms compete in a market. Firm 1 chooses quantity qı > 0 and Firm 2 chooses quantity 42 > 0. The market price is: p(91,92) = 8 - 2q1 - 42. The cost to Firm 1 of producing qi is C1 = 41. The cost to Firm 2 of producing 92 is C2 = 42 + 42. a.) * Calculate the best-response function for each firm. b.) Suppose the two firms choose their quantities simultaneously. What is the...

Two firms sequentially choose quantities q1, q2 to produce an identical good. First, firm 1 chooses q1, then firm 2 chooses q2. The price per unit in the market is p(q1, q2) = 1 − (q1 + q2). Assume that both firms have a constant marginal cost of zero. Both firms seek to maximize their profit. a. Formulate this story as an extensive form game b. Find all Nash equilibria of this game. c. Find the Subgame Perfect Nash equilibria...

Problem 4. Three firms operate in an oligopoly market with inverse demand function given by D(Q)a Q, where Q- 1 42 +q3 and q, represents the quantity produced by firm i. Each firm has constant marginal cost of production c and no fixed cost, assume that 0<c<a. The firms compete in the market by choosing quantities in the following way. Firm 1, the industry leader, chooses gi20. Firms 2 and 3 both observe qi. Firm 2 then chooses q2 2...

5. (i) Consider a Cournot quantity setting game of simultaneous moves. Solve for the rationalizable strategies (quantities) for the two firms that simultaneously choose quantities to produce, which then determines the price at which the produced goods will sell. The marginal cost of production is 4 for firml and 2 for firm 2. P = 40-91-92 Find the equilibrium price and the profits of each firm. (15) ii) Now model the game as a sequential move game where firm 1...

6. Entry Deterrence 2: Consider the Cournot duopoly game with demand p= 100 - (qı+q2) and variable costs c;(q;) = 0 for i € {1, 2}. The twist is that there is now a fixed cost of production k > 0 that is the same for both firms. Assume first that both firms choose their quantities simultaneously. Model this as a normal-form game. b. Write down the firm's best-response function for k = 1000 and solve for a pure-strategy Nash...

2. Consider a Cournot dupoly, but assume that demand is p(q) = 12 – 9 (ignoring non-negativity) and and unit cost c= 3. Again, firms simultaneously pick quantities qı > 0 and q2 > 0 and the price is set to clear the market given the quantities chosen. 1. Write down the optimization problems that define the best responses, solve explicitly for the best response functions, and find all Nash equilibria. 2. Formulate the problem for a cartel that maximizes...
