Question

Suppose that the inverse market demand for a commodity is given by P = 240 Q The cost curves of the three firms which could serve this market are TC,(a) 30q +300 and TC2() (d) Suppose that firms engage in Stackelberg rather than Cournot competition. Firm 1 moves first by choosin its output level. After Firm 1 has chosen its output level, Firm 2 observes ql and chooses its output leve Find the subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium of the Stackelberg game. Show and justify all the steps taken i finding this equilibrium Identify the point which corresponds to the Stackelberg Nash equilibrium on the best-response function diagram from part (a) Give an economic explanation as to whether there is a first- or a second-mover advantage (e) Suppose that the two firms choose output sequentially, rather than simultaneously. Firm 2 moves first by choosing its output level. Firm 1 observes q2 and chooses its output level. Find the Stackelberg Nash equilibrium of the game Determine the market price and profits for the two firms Identify the point which corresponds to the equilibrium outcome of this game on the best-response function diagram from part (a) Give an economic explanation as to whether there is a first or a second-mover advantage Give an economic explanation justifying why your results differ from those obtained in part (c
