Game Theory
Suppose the Canadian live-sports broadcasting industry is a duopoly consisting of TSN and SportsNet. The broadcast rights for NHL games is coming up and both firms must decide how much to bid for NHL broadcasting rights. Each network can submit low-bid or high-bid for the rights.

b) Each firm will have its own market price
Consider the following game

Their market shares (payoffs) are listed in both cases
Which of the following is incorrect about oligopoly?
Practice Question: Game Theory
Two firms in a duopoly are trying to decide if they should form a cartel by limiting output so that each can charge a high price along their demand curve and thereby increase their profits. The following payoff matrix shows their payoffs in millions when they cooperate (CO) and when they don’t cooperate.
