After a decade long advertising war, NIK and REB are the only two surviving firms in the sport-shoe market. The yearly demand in this market is given by P=100-0.5q. Both firms produce shoes at a constant marginal cost of $10 per pair and have no fixed costs. Your analysis of the industry suggests that they are engaged in monop
Question 4. A study by the CDC has shown that preventive care measures impose sizable positive externalities on others. To keep things simple, in this problem we will study the consumption of preventive care by a single individual. Let q denote the consumption of preventive care by the individual. The CDC has estimated that
Assume that two companies (A and B) are duopolists who produce identical products. Demand for the products is given by following linear demand function: P= 200-QA-QB Where QA and QB are quantities sold by the respective firms and P is the selling price. Total costs functions for the two companies are TCA = 1,500 + 55QA
Some games of strategy are cooperative. One example is deciding which side of the road to drive on. It doesn't matter which side it is as long as everyone chooses the same side. Otherwise, everyone may get hurt. (Please refer to the diagram) a. Does either player have a dominant strategy? Explain. b. Is there Nash equili
