Lesser Antilles (A)
- Appraise LAL's past pricing strategy. Can this strategy achieve its objective?
- What are the assumptions behind the table in Exhibit 4? How realistic are those assumptions?

- Now, consider that one of the firms moves first. What are the Nash equilibria? Is there a leader or follower advantage?
- Suppose that the interest rate is 10%. Does there exist a Pareto superior equilibrium in which the firms collude over an infinitely-repeated horizon? If so, try to characterize it (at least in words).

- Price matching
- Last-look provision
- Most favored nation clauses
Lesser Antilles (C)
- What do you think of using the multinomial logit model in this market?
