Problem Set 2 – Strategy I 1. Why do price misreads (or more generally the inability to observe prices with precision) encourage firms to lower prices? [Note: assume all prices are subject to misreads.] Misreads occur when a firm are competing with no information about competitors and assumes that competitors have taken an uncooperative pricing action when in fact they are cooperative.
