Suppose Firms A and B sell competing products and are deciding whether to undertake advertising campaigns. Each firm will be affected by its competitor’s decision. Table 13.1 provides the pay-off matrix:

table 13.1 firm B-advertise firm B - don't advertise
firm A-advertise 10, 5 15, 0
firm A - don't advertise 6, 8 10, 2

A Please transform this game in normal form into a game in extensive Form, and then try to find the equilibrium. Assume that firm A is the first mover.

table 13.2 firm B-advertise firm B - don't advertise
firm A-advertise 10, 5 15, 0
firm A - don't advertise 6, 8 20, 2

BPlease transform this game in normalform into a game in extensive form, and then try to find the equilibrium. Assume that firm A is the first mover.

table 13.3 firm 2-crispy firm 2-sweet
firm 1- crispy -5, -5 10, 10
firm 1 - sweet 10, 10 -5, -5

CPlease transform this game in normalform into a game in extensive Form, and then try to find the equilibrium. Assume that firm A is the first mover.

Suppose that three firms are deciding whether to enter a market or not and each is interested in its proÖt minus entry costs. Call these firms A,B,C. If only one firm enters, suppose its profit is 500; if two enter it is 200 for each and if all three enter, it is 140 for each. The entry costs for A,B,C are respectively 80, 120 and 150. Firms simultaneously decide whether to enter or not enter (a firm that does not...

Two firms, A and B, produce complementary products. That is, rather than competing for the same customers, demand for each firm’s output increases if the other firm produces more. Specifically, the inverse demand for Firm A’s product is given by pA = 110 − qA + qB. The inverse demand for Firm B’s product is given by pB = 50 − qB + qA. Both firms have marginal cost of 10 and choose quantities to maximize their profit. 5. If...

Two athletes of equal ability are competing for a prize of $10,000. Each is deciding whether to take a dangerous performance-enhancing drug. If one athlete takes the drug and the other does not, the one who takes the drug wins the prize. If both or neither take the drug, they tie and split the prize. Taking the drug imposes health risks that are equivalent to a loss of XX dollars. Complete the following payoff matrix describing the decisions the athletes...

Two firms, a and b, compete in a market to sell homogeneous products with inverse demand function P = 400 – 2Q where Q = Qa + Qb. Firm a has the cost function Ca = 100 + 15Qa and firm b has the cost function Cb = 100 + 15Qb.

Question 1 : Suppose country A and country B are deciding whether to install new incinerator to reduce regional air pollution or not. The new incinerators can reduce the domestic pollution and the cross-border pollution that affects both countries. To quantify the analysis, suppose that if country A installs the new incinerator, it generates benefit of $1 million from reducing domestic pollution and of $1 million from reducing cross-border pollution. But, the benefit from reducing cross-border pollution will be equally...
