You are overcomplicating it. My x* values are the solutions and do not have any unsolved or endogenous variables in them. They tell you x1 and x2 as functions of model parameters. This means a simple comparative static of model parameters works. If p1 changes, then the optimal x1 changes by a corresponding amount. Hope that helps.
@SujanChakraborty-s3u20 сағат бұрын
This is incorrect. If the price(s) or income changes, the consumer's optimal demand changes through changes in all first order conditions. You need to differentiate each of the three first order conditions, then set up these equations in matrix form and finally apply Cramer's rule to solve for income or price effects.

Hmmm, I thought that in this case there is no best response for firm 1 because it can get infinitesimally closer but under MC2 = 20 such that the infinite limit of p1 converges to 20.
@MattBirchАй бұрын
Yeah in pure Bertrand the gap in the best response is infinitely small. I find people are more likely to understand it if you describe it as barely undercutting the other price. Semantics about the magnitude of the gap aside, that is still a best response function. My response is to beat your price by the smallest possible gap, conditioned on my price being greater than or equal to my MC.

This question had been hurting my head for 1 hour plz help i legit dont know what i mdoing wrong Consider a Bertrand duopoly where market demand is P(Q)=2-3Q. Each firm faces a marginal cost $4 and a fixed cost of $6. what is one market price that can occur in a Nash equilibrium? This is the hint that is given:In a Bertrand with fixed cost, NE is when only one firm operates in the market and the other produces zero. The one that is operating produces at the monopoly price. What I did was since it says we will charge monopolist price i set MC of 4 equal to MR which is 2-6q and got -3 as Q. HELP PLZ EDIT: UPDATE A LOT OF OTHER STUDENTS IN THE CLASS ARE SAYING THIS QUESTION AS A MISTAKE OR TYPO IN IT!!!!
@MattBirch2 ай бұрын
If there are fixed costs, both charging P=MC will mean they both lose money. Not an equilibrium. You have the right idea. If one firm is gone, the other can do monopoly pricing. You are also right that this setup leads to a negative quantity. If you think about it, the mC is higher than the highest part of the demand curve. Neither firm is capable of turning a profit, even if the other is gone. Hope that helps.

@@solo4840 marginal revenue is always relevant to profit making decisions. It can look different though. For instance, with Bertrand it would actually be a function of p instead of q, so we often ignore it and just logic through the price vs cost comparison.

I’m watching this video as help for a problem I’m having when prepping for my micro exam, could you maybe help me out the problem is=TASK 2: Equilibrium. The demand for student apartments is given by Q=1000-P/2, while the supply is given by Q=P/2. a) Calculate the consumer surplus, the producer’s surplus, and the total surplus. b) Suppose that the rent price is set at 600 Euros by the local government. Calculate the consumer surplus, the producer’s surplus, and the deadweight loss. c) Suppose that the rent price is still set at 600 Euros by the local government, but at the same time the government pays a subsidy of 200 Euros to the owner of each house that is rented. Calculate the consumer surplus and the producer’s surplus.

@MattBirch, love the video. Very useful for what I'm working on. Question though: since the R-Squared for the IV model is so low, are we still able to trust the slope coefficient and thus PED? How high of an R-Squared do we need to have a reliable demand curve?
@MattBirch4 ай бұрын
Totally depends on context. The r squared can be higher than my little toy example of course! You can construct proper confidence intervals in an IV framework,and from there it just depends on what you need. But if you have confounding or endogeneity in your model and do normal OLS, it won't usually matter what the r squared or CI is. Because the model will give you an estimate that is biased, even with large data sets.
