Firms A and B form a cartel. Once the cartel is formed, each firm has the option of either complying with its cartel agreement by keeping its price high and its production low or cheating on the agreement by lowering its price and increasing its production. The adjacent payoff matrix shows the firms' economic profits. Firm B Comply Cheat If the game is played only once, what is the Nash equilibrium? Firm B: $600 Firm B: $900 Comply A. The...

AA / Suppose that Boeing and Rolls-Royce Holdings are the sole producers of a particular jet engine. The two firms currently charge the same price for their products. If neither firm reduces the price of its engine, each firm earns $36 million in profit. If both firms reduce their prices, then each firm will earn $10 million in profit. If one firm reduces its price and the other does not, then the firm that reduces price will earn a profit...

Consider two countries need to decide whether to agree to an International Environmental Agreement. The agreement would provide environmental benefit (value of the environmental benefit per country 12), but countries would incur in cost (cost per country 2). If one country cheats and does not comply with the IEA, but the other does, the cheating country would experience the benefit (12) but not the cost (2) of the agreement. If they both cheat, they stick to the status que and...

The answers I filled are wrong.
1 Suppose that two identical firms produce widgets and that they are the only firms in the market. Their costs are given by C1 = 60Q1 and C2 = 60Q2, where Q1 is the output of Firm 1 and Q2 is the output of Firm 2. Price is determined by the following demand curve: P= 900-Q where Q = Q1 +Q2: Find the Cournot-Nash equilibrium. Calculate the profit of each firm at this equilibrium....

(20 marks) Consider two firms that are choosing their sizes. Each firm can choose a large or small size. If both of them choose large each makes a profit of GHc192; if both choose small, each makes a profit of GHc200. If one chooses large and the other chooses small the large firm makes a profit of GHc216 and the small firm makes GHc180. Assume a simultaneous move game and answer the questions...
