14. Consider the following information for a simultaneous move game: If you advertise and your rival advertises, you each will earn $5 million in profits. If neither of you advertises, you will each earn $10 million in profits. However, if one of you advertises and the other does not, the firm that advertises will earn $15 million and the non-advertising firm will earn $1 million. If you and your rival plan to be in business for only one year, the Nash equilibrium is

for each firm to advertise.

for neither firm to advertise.

for your firm to advertise and the other not to advertise.

for the other firm to advertise and your firm not to advertise.

If neither of you advertises, you will each earn 14 million in profits. However, if one of you advertises and the other does not, the firm that advertises will earn 16 million and the non-advertising firm will earn 10 million.

If you and your rival plan to hand your business down to your children (and this "bequest" goes on forever), then a Nash equilibrium when the interest rate is zero is

for each firm to advertise until the rival does not advertise and then not to advertise forever.
