What happens if two producers produce product X and Y and neither of them have comparitive advantage in either of the goods? Does this mean that they will have the same PPC? Also, what happens if a tax results in zero deadweight loss? Do theproducers and consumers split the burden of the tax evenly?

- A Gain from Trade occurs when a unit is sold for a price greater than the unit of the good is worth to a seller and, simultaneously, bought for a price less than the good is worth to a buyer. Consider the first 2 units of the good that would be sold in this market (the vertical red line on the graph). Which answer choices are correct? If Kai and Mint sold one unit each to Gob and Yam at a price of $6, the trade would be mutually beneficial. At a price of $6, Gob would benefit by $3 because she is paying $6 for a unit of the good which is worth $9 to her. At a price of $6, Kai would benefit by $4 because she is getting $6 for a unit of the good which is worth $2 to her. For the first 2 units of the good there is potential gain from trade of $7 for each of the 2 units. For the first 2 units of the good sold the difference between the value to buyer and seller is $9 each. This means there is a potential gain from trade of $9 per unit. If the first 2 units of the…In late 1991 two firms, Delta Airlines and the Trump Shuttle, provided air shuttle service between New York and Boston or Washington. The one-way price charged by both firms was $142 on weekdays and $92 on weekends, with lower off-peak advance purchase fares. In September 1991 Delta increased the per-trip shuttle mileage given to members of the Delta frequent-flier pro- gram from 1,000 to 2,000 miles, even though actual mileage from New York to either Boston or Washington is about 200 miles. Moreover, Delta also offered an extra 1,000 miles to frequent fliers who made a round-trip on the same day, raising a possible day’s total to 5,000 miles. Almost simultaneously, Trump changed the frequent-flier mileage it gave shuttle passengers. (It participated in the One Pass frequent-flier program with Continental Airlines and some foreign carriers.) What sorts of changes do you think Trump made? WhyJetBlue and Delta are the only two major airlines with regularly scheduled service between New York and Nantucket. There are 900 potential passengers every week, each of whom is willing to pay up to $400 for a ticket. Since the two airlines provide an essentially identical (bad) service, customers simply prefer to buy from the cheaper one. (If they charge the same price, then they will split the market equally.) Each airline can transport at most 1200 passengers each week. You can safely assume that each airline spends literal peanuts (i.e., zero) serving passengers; however, each passenger displaces air cargo that is worth $160 in profits to the carriers. Suppose that each airline takes a short-run perspective and only wants to maximize each week's profits, and that neither one would consider shutting down the route in the foreseeable future. (a) What is the appropriate economic model to study price competition in this market? (b) If you use Nash equilibrium to make a prediction, what…

All of these products have been on the market for some time, but, to entice better sales, Run-of-the-Mills wants to try a new advertisement that will market two of the products that consumers will likely consume together. As a former economics student, you know that complements are typically consumed together while substitutes can take the place of other goods. Run-of-the-Mills provides your marketing firm with the following data: When the price of guppy gummies decreases by 5%, the quantity of frizzles sold decreases by 4% and the quantity of kipples sold increases by 6%. Your job is to use the cross-price elasticity between guppy gummies and the other goods to determine which goods your marketing firm should advertise together. Relative to Guppy Gummies Recommend Marketing with Guppy Gummies Cross-Price…
- An industry consists of two firms, firm 1 and firm 2. The demand function for the product of each firmsis given by q1 = 720 - 3p1 + 2p2 and q2 = 720 - 3p2 + 2p1. We assume for simplicity that the totalcost of production is zero:TC1 =TC2 =0. a) Are these two products substitutes or complements? Assuming that firms compete over prices, find theprice best-response functions for firm 1 and fin 2. Draw a diagram that shows the BRFs and theequilibrium. Are prices strategic substitutes or complements? Find the Bertrand Nash equilibrium inprices and outputs. Obtain the profits of each firm. b) Show that the duopolists have incentives to collude. Find their joint profit-maximizing price, output, andprofit: find each firm's price. output and protit. Is collusion a Nash equilibrium? If not, what is the optimaldefection for each firm? Show this game in a 2X2 matrix form. What does this imply about the Nashequilibrium or the stability of their collusive agreement? Is it a Prisoner's Dilemma…Two firms sells an identical product. The demand function for each firm is given: Q = 20 - P, where Q = q1 + q2 is the market demand and P is the price. The cost function for reach firm is given: TCi = 10 + 2qi for i = 1, 2. a) If these two firms collude and they want to maximize their combined profit, how much are the market equilibrium quantity and price? b) If these two firms decide their production simultaneously, how much does each firm produce? What is the market equilibrium price? c) If Firm 1 is a leader who decides the production level first and Firm 2 is a follower, how much does each firm produce? What is the market equilibrium price?If there is only one buyer and one seller meeting to exchange, then any price that they agree upon must be between the willingness to pay of the buyer and the willingness to sell of the seller.True or False

Player 1 is endowed with one unit of good x and none of good y, while Player 2 is endowed with one unit of y and none of good x. Player i has utility function: min{xi, yi} where xi is i's consumption of x and yi his consumption of y. The "bargaining" works as follows. Each player simultaneously hands any (nonnegative) quantity of the good he possesses (up to his entire endowment) to the other player. (a) Write this as a game in normal form. (b) Find all pure strategy equilibria of this game. (c) Does this game have a dominant strategy equilibrium? If so, what is it? If not, why not? Please show all work.
