Social Interactions Consider two companies who advertise to attract the same customers. If neither company advertises the companies split the market. If both advertise they also split the market, but profits are lower, since each company must spend on advertising. But if one company advertises and the other does not, the one that advertises attracts customers from the other. The game is represented in the following table: Firm B Advertise Don't Advertise Advertise Firm A gets $3 M Firm A gets $5 M Firm A Firm B gets $3M Firm B gets $2 M Don't Advertise Firm A get $2 M Firm A gets $4 M Firm B gets $5 M Firm B gets $4M

- . OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, was founded in 1969. Their original objective was to form a cartel to increase the price that they receive for their oil exports. Create a prisoner’s dilemma type game for two large members of OPEC (e.g. Saudi Arabia and Indonesia). Create numbers, where payoffs are total annual oil export revenues for each of these two countries. Verbally explain how you got your numbers. Find the Nash equilibrium. Based on this model, what strategy is in the oil exporters’ best interest (Nash or otherwise)? How do they make it happen? Create another prisoner’s dilemmamodel for all of OPEC on one side, and all non OPEC oil exporting nations on the other side. Create numbers, where payoffs are total annual oil export revenues for each of the two sides. Verbally explain how you created your numbers. Also create your numbers applying the fact that OPEC’s total production capacity is greater than total non OPEC exports…Use the payoff matrix below to answer the next two questions. a. b. C. d. Topco does not advertise a. b. Topco advertises C. d. Acme does not advertise Both firms earn profits of $50 million. 30. Suppose Acme and Topco must choose whether or not to advertise without knowing what the other will do. In the Nash equilibrium: Topco earns profits of $60 million and Acme earns profits of $30 million. Acme advertises Topco earns profits of $30 million and Acme earns profits of $60 million Both firms earn profits of $40 million. 31. Which strategies maximize Acme's and Topco's combined profit? Neither advertises neither Acme nor Topco chooses to advertise. both Acme and Topco choose to advertise. Acme advertises, but Topco does not. Topco advertises, but Acme does not. Both advertise Acme advertises, but Topco does not Topco advertises, but Acme does notBeta's Price Policy High Low A B $20 $30 High Alpha's $20 $10 Price Policy C $10 D $ $15 Low $30 $15 Refer to the diagram, where the numerical data show profits in millions of dollars.

- conside the following game There are two companies that sell Haitian coffee.Each company currently makes $5 million in revenue They need to determine whether they should engage in a social media advertising campaign Advertising costs $2 million for each company If one company advertises and the other does not, then the one that advertises captures $3 million from the company that does not. If both companies advertise they gain nothing. Draw the payoff matrix. What is this games Nash equilibriumFind all of the Nash equilibrium of the following three player game.

- Profits for two competing firms depend on the decisions to advertise or not to advertise as follows: If neither firm advertises, each makes a weekly profit of $100. If one firm advertises while the other does not, the firm that advertises makes $120 while the firm that doesn’t advertise makes $60. If both firms advertise, each firm makes $80. (a) What is the Nash equilibrium? Is this outcome efficient, from the perspective of the two firms? (b) How does the outcome of the game change if the parties can make a binding agreement in advance about advertising practices? (c) How does the game change if it is repeated over the course of many weeks (but the firms cannot make a binding agreement about how much advertising they will do)?The following payoff table lists the profits of a buyer and a seller. The seller acts first by choosing a sale price ($9, $8, or $6). The buyer then decides the quantity of the good to purchase (two units, four units, six units, or eight units). a. Suppose the buyer and seller transact only once. Does the buyer have a dominant strategy? Depending on the price quoted, what is his best response? What price should the seller set?

What price would be…Suppose there are two computer companies, Bippo and Macrohard, who choose from one of two incompatible CPU frame technologies, Chip A and Chip I.
