Whichever firm is first to develop the new widget wins a patent worth $20 million plus a penny.Developing a new widget involves several ‘steps’. The firms alternate moves, with A moving first, until oneof them wins the patent. All moves are observed. In each turn, a firm can choose whether to take 0, 1, or2 development ‘steps’. Taking 0 steps in a turn costs that firm $0. Taking 1 step in a turn costs $4 million.And taking 2 steps in a turn costs $11 million. For simplicity, assume a zero discount rate. Initially, eachfirm is 4 steps away from completing development.(a) Describe and explain carefully what will happen in this patent race and why.

- The US and Russia have signed a nuclear no-proliferation agreement to limit arms race. Each country can cooperate or defect now. If both cooperate, their payoff is 1000 each but if both defect, it drops to 600. If one cooperates and the other defects, they receive X and 1000-X respectively, where X represents the payoff of a normal country and 1000-X the payoff of the world leader. The only rational solution is cooperation if X is equal to -200 200 500 700arrow_forwardWhy do issues of bounded rationality and opportunism increase the costs of using contracts in market-based interaction?arrow_forwardThe author describes the case of the "Prisoner's Dilemma" to demonstrate which of the following? Competition and the pursuit of unfettered self-interest result in greater efficiency, and benefits everyone involved equally. Effective policy can place incentives in such a manner that the very pursuit of unfettered self-interest of the prisoners results in the desired outcome of getting both to confess to the crime. Just as in the case of the prisoner's dilemma, the pursuit of unfettered self-interest will cause the fishermen who fish Atlantic swordfish (a common resource) to harvest them wisely and limit the number of fish each fisherman catches. Thus the fishermen's ability to pursue unfettered self-interest will allow the population of swordfish to remain stable and even grow. The fishermen trust each other to behave responsibly and in the interest of the common good.arrow_forward
