Homework Answers
A is the correct option
If both the firms are producing equilibrium quantities at the duopoly competition, then it means that both of them are playing their best response given other's production, so if one of the firm decreases its output, it will no longer be its best response output and thus the profit will fall.

Suppose two firms (Firm 1 and Firm 2) are engaged in Cournot competition. Both firms are currently producing the Nash equilibrium quantities. If firm 1 were to unilaterally reduce their production by one unit, what would happen to firm 1's profit? Firm 1's profit would decrease Firm 1's profit would increase Firm 1's profit would stay the same There is not enough information to answer this question

2. (15 pts) Consider a Stackelberg duopoly game of quantity competition in U.S. cigarettes between Philip Morris (PM, biggest brand is Marlboro) and RJ Reynolds (RJR, biggest brand is Camel). Philip Morris is the leader, and Reynolds is the follower. (We will obviously ignore state-minimum pricing and taxes for this question.) Market demand is described by the inverse demand function P 12 0.005Q. Each firm has a constant unit cost of production equal to 2. Prices are in S/pack, and...

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.) Explain intuitively why the...

Suppose there is a duopoly of two identical firms, A and B, facing a market inverse demand of ?=640−2?, and cost functions of ?? =40?? and ?? =40?? respectively. Find the Cournot-Nash equilibrium and profit for each firm. Suppose that A acts as the leader in a Stackelberg model and B responds. What are the respective quantities and profits of each firm now? Is it advantageous to move first? What are the prices, quantities and profits for the firms if...
