Profits are maximized when MR = MC. For a monopoly, MR = P [1 – 1/E ]. Setting this equal to MC and solving for P : p $40 = P [1 – (1/1.5)] = P × 0.333 P = $120 5. B is correct. The long-run competitive equilibrium occurs where MC = AC = P for each company...
We demonstrate that in the closed loop Nash equilibrium, our setting leads to the prisoner's dilemma: the equilibrium occurs when both countries authorize all their firms to sell in the market. In other words, countries willingly chose not to exert market power. This result is at first sight...
When we further increase the number of players n, and even push n to infinity, what is the optimal strategy for each player? The limiting behavior of the optimal policy can be analyzed through symmetry. According to the simultaneous nature of the game, the Nash equilibrium or the optimal str...
We found that, as predicted by ED, when the Nash Equilibrium (NE) was not stable the population frequencies were farther from NE than when the NE was stable. This result complements a growing literature demonstrating the empirical validity of ED (e.g. Ref. 25). Refs. 26 and 27 found ...
This often occurs when the central banks judge their domestic currency to be too weak and when the exchange rate has overshot any concept of equilibrium level (e.g., because of a speculative attack) to the degree that the exchange rate no longer reflects underlying economic fundamentals. ...
b.The state of a system in which more than one phase exists and exchange between phases occurs at equal rates so that there is no net change in the composition of the system. [Latinaequilībrium:aequi-,equi-+lībra,balance.] American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth Edi...
The Nash Equilibrium is that both airlines will charge a low price (shown when choices for each party are highlighted). If both airlines charged a high price, they would each be better off than they are at the Nash Equilibrium. So why don't they agree to do this? First off, it's il...
The Nash Equilibrium in the prisoner's dilemma occurs when both participants choose to betray, and neither has an incentive to unilaterally change their strategy. This stable state underscores the challenge of reaching optimal cooperation due to the self-interest of the participants, emphasizing the t...
The prisoner’s dilemma presents a situation where two parties, separated and unable to communicate, must each choose between cooperating with the other or not. The highest reward for each party occurs when both parties choose to co-operate. ...
