- Yes, one fisher for 40 and the other for 20.
- Yes both fish for 30 hours per week.
d) Is there an incentive for Bert and Ernie to collude? Why or why not?
prove that the following strategy profile is a Nash equilibrium:For any 0 < x ≤1, player 1 offers x to player 2, player 2 accepts any offer greater than orequal to x and rejects any offer smaller than x.Is this strategy profile a subgame perfect equilibrium as well? Briefly explain why.
In Brandenburger and Nalebuff's article "Use game theory to shape strategy," coopetition is a game where ______Group of answer choices firms in an industry compete with each other indirectly, rather than directly. firms in an industry pursue win - win and win - lose strategies simultaneously. firms in an industry compete directly with firms in other industries. firms in an industry pursue pure win - win strategies.
