8. Consider a sequential entry game between an incumbent firm (Firm 1) and a potential entrant (Firm 2). Firm 1 moves first and must choose whether to lobby the government to pass a new safety regulation or lobby the government to reject a new safety regulation. Firm 1 is sufficiently powerful that it gets its way with the regulators. Firm 2 moves second and must choose whether to enter this market and compete with Firm 1 or stay out of...

There are two incumbent firms, F1,F2 and also a potential entrant, F3. The steps of the game are: 1. F1 and F2 simultaneously choose outputs q1 ∈ R+ and q2 ∈ R+ respectively. 2. F3 observes q1, q2 and then chooses whether to enter the industry. If she does not, then q3 = 0 and she gets a payoff of zero, but. . . 3. if she has entered the industry, F3 chooses her own output level, q3 ∈ R+....
