  • My 90 second explanation of oligopolies and game theory. Understanding how to read the chart is the first step. The numbers in the left of each square are for the firm on the left. The numbers on the right are for the firm on the top. Learn how to identify the dominant strategy with this video and then practice on the next video. Please keep in mind that these clips are not designed to teach you the key concepts. These videos are a review tool to help you better understand what you learned in class.

    • @ArmaanGoyal3
      @ArmaanGoyal3 7 лет назад +3

      Clifford Taxi doesn't have a clear-cut strategy. In case one, they should maintain the price to get a better profit, but in case two they should lower their price to get a better profit. Thus, they don't have a clear dominant strategy.

    Ok, so I understand that Clifford does not have a dominant strategy, but why will they maintain their price if they can get more money when they lower it? Why do they have to do what ACDC does?

    • @JacobAClifford
      @JacobAClifford  8 лет назад +8

      +Moe Medina Great question. Remember, ACDC will always maintain since that is their dominate strategy. So Clifford won't get $150 if they price lower. They will only get $130. It would be better if they maintain and get $140. Does that make sense?

    • @roshanmandayam
      @roshanmandayam 6 лет назад +1

      Wouldn't clifford want to lower because they will get more money than their competitor? Since there are only a few companies in an oligopoly, doesn't it make sense to get rid of competition?

    • @sohilsingh007
      @sohilsingh007 6 лет назад +1

      Technically you're not getting rid of the competition since both are making a profit. If one made a profit and one underwent losses, I would agree, but that isn't the case here. Both companies are making a profit.

    • @donbosko2684
      @donbosko2684 6 лет назад +1

      If Clifford lowered their price they only get $130. The only time they have an option to get $150 is when ACDC lowered their price. However, ACDC won't lower their price because they would only get $100 instead of the $150 they are currently getting by maintaining. Thats why Clifford doesn't have a dominant strategy as that would only happen if ACDC lowered their price which they won't do.

    Question number 3 is the Nash Equilibrium?

  • @DavidWalker2
    @DavidWalker2 9 лет назад +1

    But in a duopoly market share is all important. Clifford should take the $10 profit reduction (lower their price) in order to take market share from ACDC. When they are more powerful than ACDC, they can destroy them completely.

    @samanthasoter8791 7 лет назад +1

    Wait, I still don't quite understand why clifford doesn't have a dominant strategy..

    • @Polishsmile5
      @Polishsmile5 7 лет назад +3

      Because it's not like mountain/lower is better in both scenarios. One is better in one, the other is better in the other. For example, ACDC has a dominant strategy because they make more maintaining rather than lowering, both times. If Clifford lowers, ACDC makes more money maintaining than it does also lowering. If Clifford maintains, ACDC makes more money maintaining that it does lowering. In both cases ( both of Clifford's moves), ACDC makes more money maintaining. Now, clifford doesn't have a dominant strategy because in one case, maintaining is better, and in the other lowering is better. A dominant strategy means it's better to only maintain or only lower, no matter what the other company is doing.

    but don't agents undercut competitors at their own expense every day? Don't they do it out of spite, or to establish long term competitive advantage by pushing others out of the market, or simply out of self defeating pride, but do it never the less? This is to say nothing of the use of game theory as a way to predict what your 'competitor' will predict about your predictions. Maybe this man is 'fu-ing' GOD. I can't trust that either. Then again, if this s just an academic game, well, have fun.
