Twо gаs stаtiоns next tо eаch other set prices simultaneously. They both compete in price non-cooperatively (i.e., no tacit collusion). Both stations have a marginal cost of $2 per gallon of gas. The gasoline in this market is a homogeneous good. No travel costs exist for the consumers, so all consumers in the market will buy from whichever gas station sets the lowest price. If the gas stations set the same price, the gas stations divide the number of customers evenly among them. This game is played once and then the world ends. We denote the price of gasoline per gallon station A and B charges as p_A and p_B, respectively. The demand for retail gasoline is given by Q = 100 – P, where P is the lowest price among two stations (i.e., P = min(p_A, p_B)). Given the product is homogeneous, what would be the Bertrand equilibrium price in this market?
Jоhn Cаrey, а student studying аt Jоhns Hоpkins business school, has a credit card account with VISA. VISA’s available strategies are to raise Carey’s credit card interest rate or do nothing. Carey’s available strategies are to transfer his VISA account balance to another creditor or do nothing. The payoffs are the following: If Carey does nothing and VISA does nothing, each player receives $0. If Carey does nothing and VISA raises Carey’s interest rate, VISA earns profits of $1,000 while Carey receives -$1,000. If Carey transfers his account to another creditor and VISA does nothing, VISA receives -$300 while Carey receives -$150. If Carey transfers his account to another creditor and VISA raises Carey’s interest rate, VISA receives -$350 while Carey receives -$100. Assuming that Carey moves first, what is the Nash equilibrium in this sequential-move game? Hint: I would draw the game tree to answer this question
