Two firms (A, B) consider entering two markets (C, D). Each firm can serve only one market.
Question:
Two firms (A, B) consider entering two markets (C, D). Each firm can serve only one market. If both firms enter market D, then the individual profit amounts to 4 (all payoffs are measured in billion Euros). If they both enter market C, then each firm would earn 2. If one firm enters D alone, it earns 10, whereas the firm operating in C earns 6.
a. In the mixed strategy equilibrium, each firm chooses to enter market D with probability 4/5.
b. In the mixed strategy equilibrium of the game, the two firms meet in market C with a probability of 2/25.
c. In the mixed strategy equilibrium, each firm chooses to enter market D with probability 4/7.
d. None of the other statements is true.
e. The game has no Nash equilibrium in mixed strategies.
