19. False:
Rather the tax should equal the marginal harm of pollution at socially optimal quantity of good.
20. True
An ideal market won't have any deadweight loss and therefore perfect. In case of a deadweight loss, both the consumer and producer are at a welfare loss thus a market failure has occured.
21. True
In case of Stackelberg model, the first firm produces more than the rival and therefore the total production is higher than that of the cournot equilibrium.
22. True
If the first player has played stackelberg, the only possible outcome is nash equilibrium as the second player has to play stackelberg as the best response.
Hope this helps. Do hit the thumbs up. Cheers!

TRUE OR FALSE To maximize welfare in a competitive market that has a negative externality in production, government should tax a pollution-generating good at a unit tax equal to the marginal cost of the externality. If there is deadweight loss, we say a market failure has occurred. If two identical firms behave according to the Stackelberg model, the joint production is higher than if the same firms act as a Cournot. The outcome of the Stackelberg model is a Nash...
True/False Questions 14. If both generate the same tax revenue, a unit tax induces greater quantity distortion than an ad valorem tax 15. Market power always reduces overall welfare. 16. Mark up is the amount charged above marginal cost. 17. When a firm uses quantity discrimination (block pricing), it is the high quantity purchasers who pay a higher price per unit. 18. A Nash Equilibrium occurs when players do not have reason to deviate given the action of their opponent....

TRUE/FALSE QUESTIONS
23. A few firms with market power selling an identical product and competing over price arrive to the competitive equilibrium. 24. In an oligopoly setting, joint profits are the highest when firms act according to a Stackelberg model. 25. In the presence of a negative externality generated by producing a good, a competitive market will produce less of that good than is socially optimal. 26. An example of the tragedy of the commons is when farmers pump more...

Suppose there are only two firms in the marker, firm A and firm B. They produce identical products. Firm A and firm B have the same constant marginal cost, MCA = MCB = ACA = ACB = 25. The market demand function is given by Q = 400 – 4P. a. If the firms practice under the Bertrand model, what will be the Nash equilibrium market price and output level? b. If these two...
pls
answer as many qwuestions!!
1. A market has an inverse demand curve and four firms, each of which has a constant marginal cost of. If the firms form a profit-maximizing cartel and agree to operate subject to the constraint that each firm will produce the same output level, how much does each firm produce? 2. Duopoly quantity-setting firms face the market demand curve. Each firm has a marginal cost of $60 per unit. a. What is the Nash-Cournot equilibrium?...
1. Suppose there are only two firms in the marker, firm A and firm B. They produce identical products. Firm A and firm B have the same constant marginal cost, MCA MCB ACA ACB 25 The market demand function is given by 0-400 4P. e. Calculate the profits for each firm in the Cournot model. f. g. Is the monopoly outcome stable? If firm A operates under the monopoly outcome, h. Graph the monopoly outcome, cournot outcome and perfect competition...
Reference the following information about the market demand function for questions 1 to 15. These questions are on different types of market structures – monopoly, perfect competition, Cournot oligopoly market, and the Stackelberg oligopoly market. The market demand function is given the following equation: P = 1600 – Q where Q is the industry’s output level. Suppose initially this market is served by a single firm. Let the total cost function of this firm be given the function C(Q) =...
3) Assume that the market for energy efficient window installations in San Diego is perfectly competitive. Quarterly inverse supply and inverse demand are: P 1200 3Q (Private MB) P 440Qs (Private MC) neighbors (lowering the overall price of electricity, reducing pollution, and so on) These external benefits to consumers are estimated to be EMB 2Q (the more windows installed, the more external benefit to installing more windows). a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity that will be produced in a...
