Consider a market where inverse demand is given by P = 40 − Q, where Q...

Consider a market where inverse demand is given by P = 40 − Q, where Q is the total quantity produced. This market is served by two firms, F1 and F2, who each produce a homogeneous good at constant marginal cost c = $4. You are asked to analyze how market outcomes vary with industry conduct: that is, the way in which firms in the industry compete (or don’t). First assume that F1 and F2 engage in Bertrand competition. 1....

Consider the following inverse demand function, p(Q) = a-bQ, Q = q1 +q2, where a and b are positive parameters and qi denotes firm i's output, i = 1, 2. Assume that the total cost of firm i is cqi2/2, with c > 0. Firms choose quantities simultaneously and non cooperatively (Cournot competition). The Cournot game described above is infinitely repeated. Firms use grim trigger strategies (infinite Nash reversion). Firms discount future profits at a rate r > 0. a)...

Consider a Cournot duopoly with the following inverse demand function:p(Q) =a−Q where p is the price of the product and Q is the total amount of goods exchanged in the market. The total costs areC(q1) = 300q1, C(q2) = 300q2 for firm 1 and firm 2, respectively. But the demand is uncertain (i.e., a new product may be introduced soon which will decrease the demand drastically). Firm 1 learns whether demand will be high (a =1800) or small (a=900) before...

30.Consider a coin that comes up heads with probability p and tails with probability 1 − p. Let qn be the probability that after n independent tosses, there have been an even number of heads. Derive a recursion that relates qn to qn−1, and solve this recursion to establish the formula qn = 1 + (1 − 2p) n 2 Using method other than Mathematical Induction

Consider a market where the inverse demand function is p =100 – Q, Q = q1+q2. Both firms in the market have a constant marginal cost of $10 and no fixed costs. Suppose these two firms are engaged in Cournot competition. Now answer the following questions: a) Define best response function. Find the best response function for each firm. b) Find Cournot-Nash equilibrium quantities and price. c) Compare Cournot solution with monopoly and perfect competitive solutions.

You are playing a version of the roulette game, where the pockets are from 0 to 10 and even numbers are red and odd numbers are black (0 is green). You spin 3 times and add up the values you see. What is the probability that you get a total of 15 given on the first spin you spin a 2? What about a 3? Solve by simulation and analytically.

Consider an industry with demand Q = a − p where 3 identical firms that compete a la Cournot. Each firm’s cost function is given by C = F + c q. Suppose two of the firms merge and that the merged firm’s cost function is given by C = F'+C'q, where F<F'<2F (a) Determine each firm’s market share before and after the merger. (b) Suppose that a = 10 and c = 3. Determine the Herfindahl index after the...

Consider a perfectly competitive market where the market demand curve is p(q) = 1000-q. Suppose there are 100 firms in the market each with a cost function c(q) = q2 + 1. (a) Determine the short-run equilibrium. (b) Is each firm making a positive profit? (c) Explain what will happen in the transition into the long-run equilibrium. (d) Determine the long-run equilibrium.
