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?
N6 As the number of firms In an cligopoly becomes very lange, the price gets close to the perfiect competition price True False
If firm 1 and firm 2 are the oligopolistic firms in bottled spring water production in Nomansland. The market demand is given by ? = 5000 −20?, Qd is the number of kilolitres demanded per month while P is the price of kilolitres of bottled water. If I assume in the bottled spring water production industry oligopoly exists amongst 20 firms how do I solve for the cournot quantities,prices and profits at equilibirum ? If ten firms are merged how will I calcuate the new Cournot equilibrum quantities, prices and profits for above?
Joe and Rebecca are small-town ready-mix concrete duopolists. The market demand function is Qd = 10,000 – 100P, where P is the price of a cubic yard of concrete and Qd is the number of cubic yards demanded per year. Marginal cost is $25 per cubic yard. Suppose that Joe and Rebecca compete in quantities and competition in this market is described by Cournot model. What are Joe and Rebecca’s Nash equilibrium outputs? What is the resulting price? What do they each earn as profit? How does the price compare to the marginal cost? Joe and Rebecca are small-town ready-mix concrete duopolists.

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?
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
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?
