The Nash equilibrium in an oligopolistic market is generally better for society than the outcome under collusion because the price is closer to marginal cost.
Answer: option (a).
The Nash equilibrium in an oligopolistic market is generally ________ for society than the outcome under...
oligopolistic market yi. Each firm has the n firms compete each other with their production yi, i = 1, ..., n in an The inverse market demand is given by P(y) = a -y where y = = positive production. That is, the each firm's cost marginal cost c and a fixed cost F for a function is Ci(yi) = cyi + F. (1) Find the pure Nash equilibrium when F = 0. What if the number of firm goes...
Consider a society that has two individuals, Carrie and Diana, who each have the following individual demand curve for streetlights (a public good): Q = 100 – 5P. The marginal cost of each streetlight is $10. a) Find the socially optimal level of streetlights in this society. b) Without any intervention, what is the likely market equilibrium outcome in terms of the number of streetlights? What is the difference (in terms of the number of streetlights) between what the market...
The outcome of the Stackelberg price-output leader model is Select one: a. a Nash equilibrium. O b. the same as the Cournot outcome. C. that the follower earns zero profit. O d. that the follower cannot be on its best-response curve.
The figure below shows the market for fertilizer. When fertilizer is applied to lawns, it runs off into neighboring streams and ponds, killing fish and creating an external cost.a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity of fertilizer in an unregulated, competitive market? b) What is the efficient quantity of fertilizer? c) Suppose government imposes a tax equal to the marginal external cost. What is the equilibrium price paid by consumers and the equilibrium quantity after implementation of the tax ? d) At...
D Question 36 1 pt Caskets are produced in a monopolistic competitive market. One producer, Final Boxes, sells 20 caskets a week at a price of $550 each. Its average total cost is $600. From this information, we know that O this producer is setting marginal revenue equals marginal cost. O this producer is making an economic profit of $500. O new casket firms will want to enter O this producer is losing $1,000 a week. O this producer should...
Can someone help with the problem below? Suppose two oligopolistic firms face a market (inverse) demand curve P(Y + Y2) = 20 - (Y1 + Y). Both firms produce at constant marginal cost, but they are not symmetric: firm 1 has marginal cost 2 and firm 2 has marginal cost 4. For each of the following competitive situations below, compute: • The equilibrium price. • The equilibrium quantities produced by each firm. • The profits received by each firm. (a)...
My question is In Nash Equilibrium, does x-12 have to be greater than 13, or it can be equal? Player 11 C D -2,-2 X-12,0 3,18 13,13 Player A B In the game above, the minimum value of X such that (A,D) is a Nash Equilibrium is [x]. Please, provide a numerical answer i.e., write 2 instead of two). 25
СС 8.1.С.2 Question Help The Nash equilibrium is always the best available outcome for both players O B. O C. O A. cannot occur if both players have a dominant strategy. is always different than the pure strategy equilibrium. D. might not be the best available outcome for both players.
5. Monopoly outcome versus competition outcome Consider the daily market for hot dogs in a small city. Suppose that this market is in long-run competitive equilibrium with many hot dog stands in the city, each one selling the same kind of hot dogs. Therefore, each vendor is a price taker and possesses no market power. The following graph shows the demand (D) and supply (S = MC) curves in the market for hot dogs. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph...
