- Consider A Duopoly Where Firms 1 And 2 Supply The Same Product The Two Firms Simultaneously Decide Over Their Productio 1 (140.77 KiB) Viewed 36 times
Consider a duopoly where firms 1 and 2 supply the same product. The two firms simultaneously decide over their production quantities: firm 1 chooses yı and firm 2 chooses y2. The inverse demand function is p = 200 – y where y is the aggregate supply. The cost function of firm 1 is c(yı) = 4yſ and the cost function of firm 2 is c(y2) = y2 + 2y2. - = 1. Calculate the best response functions for each firm and plot them in the (y1, y2)-diagram. 2. Calculate the Nash equilibrium and plot it in the above diagram. Ex- plain why the equilibrium quantity of one of the firms is larger than the equilibrium quantity of the other firm. a 3. Can the firms collude in a Nash equilibrium of a one-shot duopoly game? Explain why (or why not) in 3-4 sentences.
