1. Consider a Cournot game between two firms. The firms face an inverse demand function described by the equation P(Q) = α − Q if Q ≤ α, P(Q) = 0 if Q > α, where P is the price of output and Q is the total output produced by the two firms. Firm 1 produces its output q1 at a constant unit cost c1 (i.e, the total cost to firm 1 of producing q1 units of output is c1q1)....

Consider two firms 1 and 2 engaging into the following one-shot game: if firm 1 advertises and firm 2 does not, firm 1 will make $20 million in profits and firm 2 will make $6 million. If firm 2 advertises and firm 1 does not, firm 1 will make $2 million and firm 2 will make $6 million. If firm 1 advertises and firm 2 advertises, each firm earns $10 million. If neither firm advertises, firm 2 will make $8...

5. Suppose two firms A and B must decide whether to charge low or high price for a product. If both firms charge high price each firm earns a profit of 10. If both firms charge a low price, each firm earns zero profit. If firm A charges a low price while firm B charges a high price, firm A earns a profit of 50 while firm B has a loss of 10. If firm B charges a low price...

Version B Table 2 Suppose that two firms, Wild Willy's Wonderdrink (Firm W) and Hyper Hank's Hydration (Firm H), comprise the market for energy drinks. Each firm determines that it could lower its costs and increase its profits if both firms reduced their advertising budgets. But for the plan to work each firm must agree to refrain from advertisins. Each firm believes that advertising works by increasing the demand for the firm's energy drinks, but each firm also believes that...
