Which of the following is an oligopoly model where firms assume that their rivals will hold their rates of production constant?
A) The kinked demand curve model
B) The Cournot Model
C) The Bertrand model
D) The price leadership model
Homework Answers
The model in which firms assume that their rivals will hold their rates of production constant is the Kinked Demand Curve Model.
In Bertrand Model prices firms assume that their rivals will hold their price constant. In Cournot model each firm act on the assumption that its competitor will not change its output.

Cournot Oligopoly and Number of Firms In a Cournot oligopoly, each firm assumes that its rivals do not change their output based on the output that it produces. Ilustration: A Cournot oligopoly has two firms, YandZ. Yobservesthe market demand curve and the number of units that Z produces. It assumes that Z does notchange its output regardless of the number of units that it (Y) produces, so chooses a production level that maximizes its profits. The general effects of a...

a. The kinked-demand curve for oligopolists assumes that rivals will match price cuts and price increases. match price increases, but ignore price cuts. match price cuts, but ignore price increases. neither match price cuts nor price increases. b. There is a gap in the oligopolist's marginal-revenue curve because price drops abruptly. the cost of production changes abruptly. the slope of the demand curve changes abruptly. price rises abruptly. c. The kinked-demand curve explains price rigidity in oligopoly because firms expect any change in price will lower revenue and profits. firms agree to...

question 2 answer needed.
Ql) Consider an oligopoly with 2 firms. The inverse demand curve is given by P- 100- Q1-Q2. Firm 1's total cost function is TC 30Q1. Firm 2's total cost function is TC2 -20Q2. Analyze this using a Cournot model of oligopoly. Find the Nash Equi- librium quantity that each firm produces. Q2) Analyze the demand and cost functions in Question 1 using a Bertrand model of oligopoly where products are identical. Find the Nash equilbrium(a) prices....

As you describe Paul Sweezy’s Kinked-Demand theory of oligopoly, do the following: Explain why Sweezy’s model is an illustration of how “strategy and counter-strategy” create interdependence among the large firms who dominate an oligopoly. Using Sweezy’s model, explain the reasons for changes in an oligopolist’s price elasticity of demand as the firm attempts to raise or lower its product price relative to its oligopolist competitors. Why is price competition unsuccessful in this model?

Which of the following statements is correct? a. The Bertrand model is a game involving two identical firms, producing identical products at a constant marginal (and average) cost, and, simultaneously, choosing prices. b. The Cournot model is similar to the Bertrand model except that firms are assumed to simultaneously choose quantities rather than prices. c. The Stackelberg model is similar to a duopoly version of the Cournot model except that—rather than simultaneously choosing the quantities of their identical outputs—firms move...
