True/false
1. For a Cournot Duopoloy, if the Marginal Cost and price function are the same for both of the firms, then their reaction functions are also the same.
2. A market structure where one firm chooses an output before all other firms choose their output is known as Stackelberg.
3. describe why prices are rigid in a kinked demand curve oligopoly market structure.
Homework Answers
1) True. In Cournot model with same demand and cost function, reaction functions are also symmetric
2)True. stackelberg model is a model in which one firm chooses output first and then after seeing the first firm output second/other firms chooses their best output
3). Because of two separate demands curve. Individual demand curve is more Elastic then market demand curve

Cournot Oligopoly and Number of Firms In a Cournot oligopoly, each firm assumes that its rivals do not change their output based on the output that it produces. Ilustration: A Cournot oligopoly has two firms, YandZ. Yobservesthe market demand curve and the number of units that Z produces. It assumes that Z does notchange its output regardless of the number of units that it (Y) produces, so chooses a production level that maximizes its profits. The general effects of a...

Reference the following information about the market demand function for questions 1 to 15. These questions are on different types of market structures – monopoly, perfect competition, Cournot oligopoly market, and the Stackelberg oligopoly market. The market demand function is given the following equation: P = 1600 – Q where Q is the industry’s output level. Suppose initially this market is served by a single firm. Let the total cost function of this firm be given the function C(Q) =...

Cournot vs. Stackelberg Oligopoly Suppose the inverse demand function and the cost functions for two duopolists are given by: P = 100 – (Q1 + Q2) C1(Q1) = 2Q1 C2(Q2) = 2Q2 a. Cournot: Assume two Cournot duopolists. i. What is firm 1’s Quantity and Profit? R1 = (100-Q1-Q2) * Q1 R1 = 100Q1 - Q12 - Q2Q1 MR1 = 100 - 2Q1 - Q2 C1(Q1) = 2Q1 MC1 = 2 MR1 = MC1 ii.

The market demand function is Q = 10000 - 1000p Each firm has a marginal cost of m=$0.28. Firm 1, the leader, acts before Firm 2, the follower. Solve for the Stackelberg-Nash equilibrium quantities, prices, and profits. Compare your solution to the Cournot-Nash equilibrium. The Stackelberg-Nash equilibrium quantities are q1 = ____ units and q2= ____ units. (Enter your responses as whole numbers.) The Stackelberg-Nash equilibrium price is: p=$_____________ Profits for the firms are profit1=$_______________ and profit2=$_______________ The Cournot-Nash equilibrium...

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.

Consider two firms with the same constant average and marginal cost, AC = MC = 5 (meaning the cost function is T C1 = 5q1 , T C2 = 5q2 ), facing the market demand curve q1 + q2 = 53 − P . We will use the Stackelberg model to analyze what will happen if one of the firms makes its output decision before the other. What is each firm’s equilibrium output and profit if they behave noncooperatively and...
