Now consider a typical Cournot duopoly situation such that the market is being served by two firms (Firm 1 and Firm 2) that simultaneously decide on the level of output to sell in the market, while producing an identical product. The total output of the industry is Q = q1 + q2, where q1 and q2 are the output of Firm 1 and 2, respectively. Each firm has a symmetric cost function: C(q1) = 12 q1 and C(q2) = 12...

Consider a duopoly Cournot game, where Firm 1 and Firm 2 have the same marginal cost of production c = 3. The total quantity produced by the firms is Q. The demand function is p(Q) = 84 − Q. a.) Write down Firm 1’s profit function. b.) * Calculate Firm 1’s best-response function. c.) * Find the pure-strategy Cournot-Nash equilibrium of this game. d.) * Show that the firms make strictly positive profit in equilibrium. e.)

Consider two firms (Firm A and Firm B) competing in this market. They simultaneously decide on the price of the product in a typical Bertrand fashion while producing an identical product. Both firms face the same cost function: C(qA) = 12qA and C(qB) = 12qB, where qA is the output of Firm A and qB is the output of Firm B. The demand curve is P = 30 - Q. (i) What will be the Bertrand-Nash equilibrium price (pB) chosen...

Question 2 (60 points) Consider two following Cournot competition between two firms, Firm 1 and Firm 2. The firms face an inverse demand function P = 600-Q where Q = 91 + 92 is the total output. Each unit produced costs c-$60. Therefore the profit of each farmer is given by π1 (J1.qz) = (600-91-J2)a1-6091 712 (41,42) (600 q1 q2)42-6092 Each firm. i simultaneusly chooses own qi to maximize own profits πί. a) (15 points) Find the Cournot NE quantities...

4. A Consider Cournot model of oligopoly where each firm simultaneously makes a quantity decision. Let yi and y2 denote the quantities 1 and 2, respectively. Let P(Y) = 100-Y be the market-clearing price when the aggregate quantity on the market is Y y1 +y2. Assume that the cost function of firm 1 and firm 2 are as follows. C1(n)-60y1 and C2(2) 60y2. (a) Write down the profit function of firm 1 and firm 2. (of a homogeneous product) produced...

1. Consider two Cournot duopolists. Each firm sells a homogenous product and has a MC = c per unit, and no fixed costs. Market demand is P = a−bQ, where market quantity sold Q = q1 +q2, where q1 is firm 1’s output and q2 is firm 2’s output. Each firm simultaneously chooses its quantity to sell, then lets price clear the market. a. What is firm 1’s best response function (or reaction function)? b. Solve for the profit maximising...

4. Consider 2 firms selling fertilizer competing as Cournot duopolists. The inverse demand function facing the fertilizer market is P = 1 - where Q = 94 +98. For simplicity, assume that the long-run marginal cost for each firm is equal to X, i.e. C(q)=Xq for each firm. a) Find the Cournot Nash equilibrium where the firms choose output simultaneously b) Find the Stackelberg Nash Equilibrium where firm A as the Stackelberg leader. How much does the leader gain by...
