suppose firm 1 & firm 2 are engaged in a simultaneous move, one shot game in which each firm is setting their advertising levels. there are three options: high advertising, moderate advertising, and no advertising. the chart is a payoff matrix for the two firms.(the payoffs are in millions and should be read firm 1's payoff, firm 2 payoff)

http://i15.tinypic.com/4bgi1ix.jpg

I found that the Nash Equilibrium is (10,10) but im stuck with the following question

1. if the two firms were to collude, what level of advertising do you think they would agree on?

2. suppose that this game were infinitely repeated. what would the interest rate have to be in order to sustain collusion between the firms? (it might be easiest to try and determine what interest rate would be necessary to stop firm B from "cheating")

thanks in advance

People call me names all the time and bully me. No one has physically hurt me yet. Im not really bothered what they think or say most of the time, but sometimes when they all gang up on me i get kinda upset. Should i fight back and hit them.

Why do they do it? I done nothing at all to them! why can't they just leave me alone?

iv just answered a question here and its got me wondering what my dream really means.

atleast twice a week i dream that im standing alone at a bus stop and a large group of guys turn the corner and attack me. they punch, kick and stamp on me for what seem like forever and then suddenly stop, walk away leaving me in a total mess. i can see them walking away slowly, the dream goes kinda blank and i wake up. its not so much a nightmare as im used to it now but i used to wake up in a cold sweat, i also get a bit of dejavu from it every so often.
i have been attacked at a bus stop before but it wasnt nearly as bad and i wasnt badly shaken up from it.
im from Glasgow which can be a bit of a rough city if that makes any kind of difference
any ideas folks??

If you owned an ice cream shop at a resort and additional ice cream shops were opening in your area , how would you introduce substitute products to compete more effectively ?how could you apply the concept of price elasticity of demand when deciding whether to raise prices for your specialty items, such as shakes ,sundaes ,and banana splits.
