Explain how the outcome of Cournot game will differ if it is played simultaneously or dynamically.

Question is relevant to game theory.

Expert Solution

In the Cournot dynamic model also known as the stackelberg game, the first player has a first mover advantage as it accounts for the best response of the second player while choosing the optimum level of quantity to produce. This is illustrated through the following general setup:

Note above that the optimal Stackelberg production for firm 1 is 3/2 times more than firm 1's production in simultaneous Cournot. Thus, the Stackelberg profits for firm 1 are 9/8 times the profits it makes in the simultaneous move game. Thus, the outcomes will be different in that the 1st player will produce more and get higher profits in the dynamic Cournot as compared to the static Cournot.

this is how the game is played. In a Powerball play slip, a player picks 5 numbers from 1 through 69 and 1 number from 1 through 26 (this is the Powerball number). The grand prize is awarded to the player (or players) whose ticket matches all of the numbers on the five chosen white balls and the one chosen red ball. What are the odds of winning? You need to calculate the odds of getting the exact 5 white...

Write a python program that simulates a simple dice gambling game. The game is played as follows: Roll a six sided die. If you roll a 1, 2 or a 3, the game is over. If you roll a 4, 5, or 6, you win that many dollars ($4, $5, or $6), and then roll again. With each additional roll, you have the chance to win more money, or you might roll a game-ending 1, 2, or 3, at which...

In the simple Cournot model, firms make their output choices simultaneously. In practice, firms sometimes make these kinds of decisions sequentially. Suppose that you manage one of the firms discussed in the Output Competition example in the text. The industry demand in this example is P ? 100 ? Q and the MC of each firm is zero. How do your profits and those of your competitor compare to the case of simultaneous decisions discussed in the text? Would you...

Question: you will be making a game called “Snap, Crackle, Pop”, a game typically played with a group of 3 persons. Each person chooses one number and it is assigned to either 'snap', 'crackle', or 'pop'. Then the number of rounds is decided (e.g. 12). The players play the game for the predetermined number of rounds (here 12). In each round: ● if the number of the round is a multiple of the snap number, the person who chose the...

A challenger (Firm 2) is considering entry into the local phone market in the Bay Area. The incumbent (Firm 1), predicts that a price war will result if Firm 2 enters. If Firm 2 stays out, Firm 1 earns monopoly profits valued at $10 million (net present value, or NPV of profits), while Firm 2 earns zero. If Firm 2 enters, it must incur irreversible entry costs of $2 million. If there is a price war, each firm earns $1...
