1. Corning* manufactures Gorilla Glass, which is used by almost all smartphone brands for the screens on their touchscreen phones. For all intents and purposes, Corning has a monopoly in the market. Suppose that another company is debating whether to enter the market with their competitor, Elephant Glass. Meanwhile, Corning has heard rumors of this potential entrant, and is determining whether to build an additional factory to produce Gorilla Glass. [*yes, same Corning that produces the white bakeware & Pyrex. It's actually a brilliant example of leveraging a skill and comparative advantage in one market to dominate another!) Below is the payoff matrix for the simultaneous game, where neither knows the other's decision when they make theirs: Elephant Glass Enter Don't enter Corning Build 12, -2 6,0 Don't build 4,2 8,0 A. What is the pure strategy equilibrium of the simultaneous game? (5 points) B. Draw a game tree and solve for rollback equilibrium, assuming Elephant Glass moves first. (5 points) C. Can Corning achieve its best possible outcome by credibly declaring a strategic move in the pregame? If yes, what sort of strategic move might it use, and how might it phrase its declaration? How would it gain credibility? (8 points) D. Could Elephant Glass counter this strategic move? How might it do so? (5 points)
