Assume two competitors, American International Group (AIG), Inc., and Axa, SA., are locked in a bitter pricing struggle in the reinsurance business. In the pricing payoff matrix, AIG can choose a given row of outcomes by offering a limit price ("up") or monopoly price ("down"). Axa can choose a given column of outcomes by choosing to offer a limit price ("left") or monopoly price ("right"). Neither firm can choose which cell of the payoff matrix to obtain; the payoff for each firm depends upon the pricing strategies of both firms. KNO AIG Axa Pricing Strategy Limit Price Monopoly Price Limit Price $8 billion, $3 billion $6 billion, $5 billion Monopoly Price $12 billion, $2 billion $10 billion, $4 billion 635 wer.
