analysis predicts. So they assumed collusion and prosecuted‚ not just once but several times. In fact‚ as Ghemawat ’s research shows‚ the firms tried to collude but couldn ’t manage! Why? The firms were looking for a pure-strategy Bertrand Nash-equilibrium‚ which doesn ’t exist‚ leading instead to so-called ‘Edgeworth cycles’. This Bertrand game has only mixed-strategy NE (like the river-crossing game)‚ just as Ghemawat’s data on the turbine generator case suggest. Therefore‚ the firms could

the Nash equilibrium is a solution concept of a non-cooperative game involving two or more players‚ in which each player is assumed to know the equilibrium strategies of the other players‚ and no player has anything to gain by changing only their own strategy unilaterally. If each player has chosen a strategy and no player can benefit by changing strategies while the other players keep theirs unchanged‚ then the current set of strategy choices and the corresponding payoffs constitute Nash equilibrium

Experiment 3: Chemical Equilibrium Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to determine the equilibrium constant for the formation of FeSCN2+. Introduction Chemical equilibrium is the point in a reversible reaction where the concentration of the reactants and that of the products remains constant. This point of equilibrium is referred to as the Kc value‚ which can be obtained using the formula: Kc = [product] [reactant] In this experiment‚ we used a spectrophometer to

Chemical Equilibrium: Le Chatelier Principle By Sarah Ramos and Kristina Todorovic Chemistry 203 DEN Dr. Mohamed El-Maazawi Part A. Acid-Base Indicators Purpose In this part of the experiment‚ we will find a reagent that will shift the acid-base equilibrium reaction described by Equation (2) in one direction and then a second reagent that will cause the equilibrium position to shift back in the opposite direction. Introduction An acid–base indicator

OLIGOPOLY AND MONOPOLISTIC COMPETITION Up to now‚ we have covered two extreme types of markets. We covered perfect competition with the highest degree of competition‚ then we covered monopoly with the lowest degree of competition. Now‚ we will cover oligopoly and monopolistic competition. These two market types are in between two extremes: they show some features of competition and some features of monopoly. Oligopoly Definition: Oligopoly is a market structure in which there are a few sellers

Relative Rewards within Team-Based Compensation BERND IRLENBUSCH and GABRIELE K. RUCHALA December 2006 Abstract How to design compensation schemes to motivate team members appears to be one of the most challenging problems in the economic analysis of labour provision. We shed light on this issue by experimentally investigating team-based compensations with and without bonuses awarded to the highest contributors in teams. A purely team-based compensation scheme induces agents to voluntarily cooperate
