Consider a Cournot Duopoly model. The inverse demand for their products is given byP = 200 − 6Q, where Q is the total quantity supplied in the market (that is, Q = Q1 + Q2). Each firm has an identical cost function, given byT Ci = 2Qi, for i = 1, 2.(a) In the Cournot model, what does each firm choose?(b) What is the timing of each firm’s decision?(c) Find the Nash equilibrium quantities (Q∗1, Q∗2)?(d) What is the equilibrium price? Just help with c and d here please
Suppose that there are two firms in a market, firm 1 and firm 2. The marketis declining in size. The game starts in period 0, and the firms can compete in periods 0, 1,2, 3, ... (i.e., indefinitely) if they so choose. Duopoly profits in period t for firm 1 are equalto 105 −10t, and they are 10.5 −t for firm 2. Monopoly profits (those if a firm is the onlyone left in the market) are 510 −25t for firm 1 and 51 −2t for firm 2. At the start of eachperiod, each firm must decide either to “stay in” or “exit” if it is still active (they do sosimultaneously if both are still active). Once a firm exits, it is out of the market forever andearns zero in each period thereafter. Firms maximize their (undiscounted) sum of profits.What is this game’s subgame perfect Nash equilibrium?
13) Two identical firms are engaged in Cournot competition, with cost functionsTCA(QA) = 30 QA and TCB(QB) = 30 QB. The market demand is given by P = 480 –3Q.a) Plot the best response functions and report the Cournot-Nash equilibrium quantities, price and profits.b) What are the prices, quantities, and profits for the firms if they decide to collude and share profits equally?c) Show that firms have an incentive the deviate from the collusive outcome.d) Find the Stackelberg equilibrium if A leads and B follows.e) Show the equilibria in the previous parts on the inverse demand function. Calculate and identify consumersurplus and deadweight loss in each equilibrium. If you can only answer a limited amount of questions, please answer d and e :)
The figure below shows the market conditions facing two firms, Brooks, Inc., and Spring, Inc., in the domestic market for large utility pumps. Each firm has constant long-run costs, so that MC0 = AC0. As competitors in a duopoly, there are a number of models to determine output and prices. Assume that the Bertrand duopoly model applies, so that they both set price equal to their marginal cost. Initial output in this market will be 16,000 per year (this is split between the two firms), at a price of $300. (a) At the initial equilibrium, what is total surplus (consumer surplus plus producer surplus)? Suppose that Brooks, Inc. and Spring, Inc. form a joint venture, River Company, whose utility pumps replace the output sold by the parent companies in the domestic market. Assuming that River Company operates as a monopolist and that its costs equal MC0 = AC0, what is: (b) The price? (c) The output? (d) Total profit? (e) The resulting deadweight loss from River Company operating as a…

Consider a situation where two firms, 1 and 2, compete by choosing prices simultaneously. Theycan either compete (charge a low price) or cooperate (collude, charging a high price). The firmsplay this competition game repeatedly and indefinitely, using a grim trigger strategy toincentivize cooperation. They use the same interest rate, i, to discount future payoffs. Payoffsare $4,050 when both firms cooperate and $3,600 when they compete. If one firm charge a lowprice while the other charges a high price, the firm charging the low price gets $7,200, and theother gets zero, but now assume there is a 10% chance that aregulatory agency will give both firms a $1,500 fine in each period if they are caught colluding.Find the condition on the interest rate, i , necessary for sustaining the cooperative equilibrium.Which of the following statements is correct?(a) For any i < 1/7 the firms will cooperate.(b) For any i < 1/11 the firms will cooperate.(c) For any i > 1/11 the firms will…
Only typed answer In a duopoly, each firm has marginal cost MC = 100, and market demand is Q = 500 - 0.5p. Assuming average cost is the same as marginal cost. In which oligopoly, Cournot or Stackelberg, do firms have more market power? a. Cournot since the Lerner Index in the Cournot model is twice as much as that in the Stackelberg model. b. Stackelberg since the Lerner Index in the Cournot model is twice as much as that in the Stackelberg model. c. Cournot since the Lerner Index in the Cournot model is about 1.08 times as much as that in the Stackelberg model. d. Stackelberg since the Lerner Index in the Cournot model is about 1.08 times as much as that in the Stackelberg model.
H7. For q1=120-2p1-p2 and q2=120-2p2+p1, show that the duopolists have incentives to collude as well as find the -joint profit-maximizing price, output and profit and find each firm’s price, output and profit. What is the optimal defection of each firm, is collusion Nash equilibrium? Show in 2x2 matrix. Is it a prisoner’s dilemma?
