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?
Synergy and Dynaco are the only two firms in a specific high-tech industry. They facethe following payoff matrix as they decide upon the size of their research budget:a. Does Synergy have a dominant strategy? Explain.b. Does Dynaco have a dominant strategy? Explain.c. Is there a Nash equilibrium for this scenario? Explain. (Hint: Look closely at thedefinition of Nash equilibrium.)
Two rival companies competing in the same market need to decide their plans for future expansion of their stores. The Table below shows the possible outcomes of their mutually interdependent actions (payoffs are profits in £m) Giga Company Titanic Conglomerate No Change Refurbishment of existing stores Large Expansion No Change 30, 40 25, 35 15, 24 Refurbishment of existing stores 35, 30 28, 32 18, 33 Large Expansion 12, 22 18, 20 20, 25 The Nash equilibrium: (A) does not exist. (B) occurs when both firms choose Refurbishment of existing stores. (C) occurs when both firms choose Large Expansion. (D) occurs when both firms choose No Change.
Three retail chains are each deciding whether to locate a store in town A or town B. The profit or payoff that a chain receives depends on the town selected and the number of other chains that put stores in that town; see accompanying table. (given) a. Find a symmetric mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium in which chainsrandomize.b. Find all mixed-strategy Nash equilibria in which one of the chains putsa store in town A for sure.c. Find all mixed-strategy Nash equilibria in which one of the chains putsa store in town B for sure.
(f) Does GaterTools have a dominant strategy? Explain using numbers from the payoff matrix.(g) Identify the Nash equilibrium. Explain why this is a Nash equilibrium using information from the payoff matrix.(h) Suppose HandyBilt makes a credible commitment to GaterTools that if GaterTools maintains its price, then HandyBiltwill pay GaterTools $250. Will this offer result in a Nash equilibrium with different strategies from those identified in part(g) ? Explain using numbers from the payoff matrix.
Exercise A.2 . Sinergy and Dinaco are the only two companies in a high-tech industry. They are faced with the following matrix of results when deciding their research budget: After analizing the graph, answer the following questions... a) Does Sinergy have a dominant strategy? Reason your answer. b) Does Dinaco have a dominant strategy? Reason your answer. c) Is there a Nash equilibrium in this scenario? Reason your answer.
Please answer all parts. Two construction companies EdilA and EdilB take part in a race contract to build a school. Both can bid 1000, 2000 or 3000. The winner (the lowest offer) builds the school and pays 900 of costs. 1. When both bid the same amount, EdilA wins the contract. Find the Nash equilibrium. 2. Assume instead that when both bid the same, neither gets the contract, and furthermore suffer a penalty of 10. Find the Nash equilibrium. 3. Assume instead that when both bid the same, each builds half the school (but sustains 600 of costs, thus more than half). Find the Nash equilibrium. 4. Under the hypothesis of point 2 assume that EdilB can observe the offer made by EdilA before it makes its offer, and that EdilA anticipates that. Find the Nash equilibrium by backward induction of this sequential game.
Assume that Acme and Gamma are the two main rivals in the market for hair dryers. Each firm is considering prices of $50 or $60, with the following possible profit outcomes: Gamma Price = 50 Price = 60 Price = 50 40, 45 45, 42 Acme Price = 60 24, 55 30, 48 A) Assume the firms choose prices simultaneously. Does the game have a solution? Explain. B) Is the solution you have identified a Nash Equilibrium? Explain why or why not.

Please no written by hand solution Consider a Hotelling Game with 8 homogeneous firms. Customers are uniformly distributed on the interval [0, 1] and each customer goes to the firm closest to his own location. If firms are located in the same spot, they share the customers evenly. Firms choose their location to maximize customers. How many Nash equilibrium(/ia) does this game have?
