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...

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.
