If both enter, they make profits -1, since the market is too small for two firms. If only one enters, that firm makes high profits. This game is summarized in the following matrix: Firm 2 H Firm 1 Enter Do not enter Enter -1, -1 10, 0 Do not enter 0. 5 al. What are the pure-strategy Nash Equilibria of this game, if any? by Now assume that firm 1 can enter the market with probability p and firm 2 can enter the market with probability q. Write down the expected payoff of each firm for each course of action (enter, do not enter). cl Find the Nash equilibria in mixed strategies. O e P W acerA1. Assume that Canada is an importer of televisions and that there are no trade restrictions. Canadian con- sumers buy 1 million televisions per year, of which 400 000 are produced domestically and 600 000 are imported. a. Suppose that a technological advance among Japa- nese television manufacturers causes the world price of televisions to fall by $100. Draw a graph to show how this change affects the welfare of Canadian consumers and Canadian producers and how it affects total surplus in Canada. b. After the fall in price, consumers buy 1.2 million televisions, of which 200 000 are produced domes- tically and 1 million are imported. Calculate the change in consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus from the price reduction. c. If the government responded by putting a $100 tariff on imported televisions, what would this do? Calculate the revenue that would be raised and the deadweight loss. Would it be a good policy from the standpoint of Canadian welfare? Who might support the policy? Who might oppose it? d. Suppose that the fall in price is attributable not to technological advance but to a $100 per television subsidy from the Japanese government to Japanese industry. How would this affect your analysis
