Two firms compete in price in a market for infinite periods. In this market, there are N consumers; each buys one unit per period if the price does not exceed $10 and nothing otherwise. Consumers buy from the firm selling at a lower price. In case both firms charge the same price, assume N/2 consumers buy from each firm. Assume zero production cost for both firms.
A possible strategy that may support the collusive equilibrium is: Announce a price of $10 if the
equilibrium price has always been $10; otherwise, announce the price as in Nash equilibrium of the one-shot Bertrand game.1.a Let δ be the discount factor. Find the condition on δ such that the above strategy can indeed support the collusive equilibrium.
Now suppose that Firm 2’s marginal cost is $4, but Firm 1’s marginal cost remains at zero.
1.b Find the condition on δ under which Firm 2 will not deviate from the collusive equilibrium.
1.c Find the condition on δ under which Firm 1 will not deviate from the collusive equilibrium.
1.d Knowing that both firms’ discount factor is 0.6, how should Firm 2 set its capacity constraint so that the collusive equilibrium can still be supported? (Hint: The idea here is that, by limiting its own output, Firm 2 lets Firm 1 have a greater market share. As a result, Firm 1’s gain of deviating from the collusive agreement would be smaller.)

- Please no written by hand and no emage Two firms compete in a homogeneous product market where the inverse demand function is P = 20 −5Q (quantity is measured in millions). Firm 1 has been in business for one year, while Firm 2 just recently entered the market. Each firm has a legal obligation to pay one year’s rent of $1.6 million regardless of its production decision. Firm 1’s marginal cost is $2, and Firm 2’s marginal cost is $10. The current market price is $15 and was set optimally last year when Firm 1 was the only firm in the market. At present, each firm has a 50 percent share of the market.Determine the current profits of the two firms. Firm 1's profits: $Firm 2's profits: $What would each firm’s current profits be if Firm 1 reduced its price to $10 while Firm 2 continued to charge $15?Firm 1's profits: $Firm 2's profits: $Suppose that, by cutting its price to $10, Firm 1 is able to drive Firm 2 completely out of the market. After Firm 2 exits the market, does Firm 1 have an…Suppose that over the short run (say the next 5 years), demand for OPEC oil is given by P = 165 – 2.5q. Here q is measured in millions of barrels a day. OPEC marginal cost per barrel is $15. What is OPEC’s optimal level of production? What is the prevailing price of oil at that level? Many experts contend that maximizing short-run profit is counterproductive for OPEC in the long run because high price reduces buyers to conserve energy and spur competition and new exploration that increases the overall supply of oil. Suppose that the demand curve just described will remain unchanged only if oil prices stabilize at $65 per barrel or below. If oil price exceeds this threshold, long run demand (over a second five year-period) will be curtailed to P = 135 – 2.5q. OPEC seeks to maximize its total profit over the next decade. What is the optimum output and price policy? (assume all values are present values)COURSE: MICROECONOMICS - Stackelberg ModelIn a given market good there are only 2 firms that satisfy the demand, and their respective total cost functions are: CTi = 400 and the demand that is estimated is P = 120 - 2QIf the exception variable of both firms is the quantity they will produce, such that the decisions to produce are made sequentially firm number 1 will be the leader who decides the quantity to produce and firm number 2 (follower) decides based on the production of firm number 1, we ask:(a) quantity produced by each firm and its equilibrium price in the market.(b) Profit of each company at equilibrium and (c) Graph your results
- Signaling. There are two firms, A and B. There are two time periods, 1 and2. There is one commodity, that can be produced by both firms, at linear cost. So,if firm i has marginal cost i, then the cost of producing q units of the commodity is ciq. The inverse demand for the commodity, at any given moment, is 100 − 4Q,where Q is the aggregate supply at that moment.In period 1, firm A is alone in the market. Firm A’s marginal cost is determinedby Nature, either it is 10 or it is 2, each with probability 1/2. A knows it’s cost.Firm A produces some quantity in period 1 and firm B observes this. Betweenperiods 1 and 2, firm B decides to enter the market or not. After making thisdecision, B is told firm A’s cost. It is too late at this point for B to change itsaction.In period 2, if B is in the market, then A and B compete on quantity.(1) In words, what are the steps to solving this problem?(2) There are two possible quantity-competition games that happen in this game.Solve them both.(3) Now…Consider a coastal economy served by two (2) fishing firms. There is only one type of fish that is harvested. All firms send their boats out at the same time and they compete on quantity. Demand given by P = 200 – Q and each firm has a constant marginal cost of $20. There are no fixed costs. a. Using the appropriate model, what will be an individual firm’s quantities and profits? b. Suppose that Firm 1 adopts a new production technology that reduces his marginal cost of production from $20 to $10. Firm 2 does not adopt the technology and continues to have a marginal cost of $20. What will be the new quantity and profit outcomes? How has the technology affected the relative position of Firm 1 and Firm 2 in the market?Two firms, Firm 1 and Firm 2, compete by simultaneously choosing prices. Both firms sell an identical product for which each of 100 consumers has a maximum willingness to pay of $40. Each consumer will buy at most 1 unit, and will buy it from whichever firm charges the lowest price. If both firms set the same price, they share the market equally. Costs are given by C; (qi) = 16q¡ . Because of government regulation, firms can only choose prices which are integer numbers, and they cannot price above $40. Could you help me with these questions? a) If Firm 1 chooses Pi price? = 32, Firm 2's best response is to set what b) If Firm 2 chooses the price determined in the previous question, Firm 1's best response is to choose what price? c) If Firm 1 chooses p₁ = 9, Firm 2's best response is a range of prices. What is the lowest price in this range?
- Profit is the incentive that drives our market economy. Firms make production, pricing, and hiring decisions based on their quest for profit. But what happens when a firm discovers that it can make dramatically higher profits by stopping production altogether? In December 2000, due to wild swings in the market for electricity, Kaiser Aluminium faced just such a decision. Kaiser Aluminium had contracted with Bonneville power for all of its electricity needs and found itself in the unique position of being an electricity consumer and, potentially, an electricity reseller. By December 2000, Kaiser faced a difficult decision of continuing its current aluminium production and profit levels, or closing the plant to dramatically increase its profit by simply reselling its electricity. When making production decisions, firms must consider both their costs and revenues. One important concern for many firms is utility costs. In 1996, Kaiser Aluminium Corporation in Spokane, Washington, entered…You and your rival must simultaneously decide what price to advertise in the weekly newspaper. If you each charge a low price, you each earn zero profits. If you each charge a high price, you each earn profits of GH¢3. If you charge different prices, the one charging the higher price loses GH¢5 and the one charging the lower price makes GH¢5.i. Find the equilibrium when there are no repeated transactions.ii. Now suppose there are repeated transactions. How would that change the results?A. Suppose the inverse demand curve in a market is D(p) =a-bp, where D(p) is the quantity demanded and p is the market price. Firm 1 is the leader and has a cost function c1(y1)=cy1 while firm 2 is the follower with a cost function c2(y2 )=. Firm 1 sets its price to maximise its profit. Firm 1 correctly forecasts that the follower takes the price leader’s chosen price as given (price taker) and chooses output so as to maximise its own profit. Write down the profit function of the follower. Calculate the profit maximising quantity that the follower selects given the leader’s chosen price p (i.e., calculate the follower’s supply curve S(p)). Interpret the solution to the profit maximising problem. B. The leader is facing the residual demand curve R(p)=D(p)-S(p) with D(p) and S(p) as defined in (c) above. Calculate the leader’s residual demand curve using the result in (b). Solve for p as a function of the leader’s output y1, i.e. the inverse demand function facing the leader. Write…
- The tables (below) show the willingness to pay by three (competitive) consumers for additional units of some good, and the marginal costs of three (competitive) firms that produce that good. a) Compute the competitive equilibrium quantity and price for this market. Also, compute each consumer's surplus and each firm's profits. b) Now suppose that you have access to the same technology (and competitive input markets) as that of Firm 3. Entering the market (that is, launching a fourth firm) means a fixed (yes, sunk too) cost of $10. Would you decide to enter? (Entry has effects on the market, of course.) c) With the same data, suppose that all three firms merge. That is, now a single corporation controls (and decides on output for) all three firms (now, plants of one single firm). Obtain the output (or, equivalently, the price) that this monopolistic corporation will choose, and evaluate the consequences for the consumers (that is, the effect on the consumer surplus) and for the profits…Consider a single country and a single good. The demand curve for this good is given by QD = 144 - 4P. Thereare two firms serving the market: Firm A and Firm B, where Firm A has a marginal cost of $20 and Firm B hasa marginal cost of $16.
