Consider the Cournot model with market demand function p(q_1, q_2)=17-q_1-q_2p(q1,q2)=17−q1−q2, and two different cost functions for each firm: c_1(q_1)=q_1c1(q1)=q1, c_2(q_2)=3q_2c2(q2)=3q2.
In the pure NE, firm 1 produces:
and firm 2 produces:
In equilibrium, the market price is:
Show your steps. Remember to write down the profit function of each firm and solve for their best response functions.
