Perfect competition, with an infinite number of firms, and monopoly, with a single firm, are polar opposites. Monopolistic competition and oligopoly.

Game Theory: The Nash Equilibrium

Presentation transcript:

 Theory on how people behave when interacting with others, whilst trying to maximise personal welfare  Analysis of how people try to use their knowledge of what they think others will do in order to maximise their own welfare.

 Economists try to predict how firms will react in various scenarios  Firms need to predict how other firms will behave when making their own decisions  Most relevant in Oligopoly - few enough firms for individual players to attempt to predict others’ decisions  Explains why firms collude to maximise welfare or why they may cheat on collusive agreements

 A: Collude  B & C: ‘Maximax’ – each firm attempts to go for the best for themselves, hoping the other does not  D: ‘Maximin’ – both firms go for the failsafe option to minimise reducing the risk of ending up on the wrong side of the other *All of B, C, and D end up at D* Only collusion will achieve A

Firm X Update image Price promotions Firm Y Update image A: Firm Y: £5M Firm X: £5M B: Firm Y: £3M Firm X: £3M Price promos C: Firm Y: £2M Firm X: £1M D: Firm Y: - £1 Firm X: - £1 Where a single strategy is best for one player, irrespective of what strategy the other player adopts. Here, Y is better off updating their image, regardless of the choice made by X. ‘Update image’ is Y’s dominant strategy.

Where no player has anything to gain by changing only his or her own strategy. If each player has chosen a strategy and no player can benefit by changing his or her strategy while the other players keep theirs unchanged, then the current set of choices and the corresponding payoffs constitute a Nash equilibrium.
