Reference no: EM133489489

Case Study: The following video is about many of Cournot's contributions. Pay attention to the demonstration here of the Cournot Duopoly as a Nash equilibrium. The video nicely illustrates this complicated model with pictures-no math! This is exactly the game we play in this week's discussion.

Your instructor may also post additional resources to help further explain concepts related to this week's discussion.

In our Managerial Economics textbook, we consider a sequential-move game in which an entrant is considering entering an industry in competition with an incumbent firm (see Figure 15-1). There are several possibilities of how this sequential game will be played. We want to use the Froeb rule of "look ahead and reason back."

For your discussion post, use Figure 15-1 from the textbook as your starting point to address the following:

Question: 1. Play and analyze the game. Can, and how does, the entrant succeed? Is the incumbent ever in control of this game? What is the Nash equilibrium?

o You may wish to review the old game known as Duopoly, as well as Antoine-Augustin Cournot, to help inform your post.
