Sometimes oligopolies in the same industry are very different in size. Suppose we have a duopoly where one firm (Film A) is large and the other film (Film B) is small, as the prisoners dilemma box in Table 10.4 shows. Assuming that both films know the payoffs, what is the likely outcome in this case?
When OPEC raised the price of oil dramatically in the mid-1970s, experts said it was unlikely that the cartel could stay together over the long term-that the incentives for individual members. to cheat would become too strong. More than fort),r years later, OPEC still exists. Why do you think OPEC has been able to beat the odds and continue to collude? Hint: You may wish to consider non-economic reasons.
1. Consider the pricing game between firm 1 (row) and firm 2 (column) belowwhere each number represents the profits made by each firm.:Table 1: Pricing gameLow HighLow 288,288 360,216High 216,360 324,324 a) Point out the Nash equilibrium. Is this a unique Nash equilibrium?c) What type of commitment can firm 1 make to improve its pay-off?Can it be classified as a threat or promise? (Assume that the commitmentis credible.)d) How would you represent the game as a game tree with the option tocommit?2. Consider the signalling / production game with the order of play given below.Assuming that the signal is informative (i.e. education is sufficiently costly),how would you change the order of the game to make sure that poolingequilibriums are ruled out?

E. Game theory Two firms in Ithaca both making sandwiches have two strategies available: charge a low price and charge a high price. In each cell (box) the first entry is the profit to Angie’s Sandwiches (AS) and the second entry is the profit per week for James Jems. (JJ) JJ charges low price JJ charges high price AS charges low price $20,000, $20,000 $45,000, $50,000 AS charges high price $50,000, $35,000 $30,000, $30,000 1. Is there a Nash Equilibrium? Where is it? Explain. 2. In which cell will the total profit be a maximum?
PLEASE ANSWER ASAP How do you differentiate Oligopoly from a Monopoly? And how can an oligopoly market earns its profit?
Solve for the Stackelberg subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium for the fol- lowing game tree (see next page). What is the joint-profit maximizing outcome? Why is that not the outcome of this game?
which of the following statements about industries that are oligopolies is false? Select one a. An oligopoly with two firms is calleda duopaly, b. Firms in these industries may attempt to cooperate. C The fact that there is more than one firm in an oligopoly means that there are no barrien to entry d. Firms in these industries are interdependent
if two firms (firm A and firm B) are competing selling T-shirts, both at $12 per shirt, both have a quantity of 50 and both can produce a t-shirt at a cost of $2 per shirt both marginal and average. If both companies are competing directly against each other in prices, what will the new marginal price of company B will be? and what will be their profits? Also, how do you solve the equilibrium price in oligopolies?
