Thank you so much! Only decent video on Stackelberg I found so far.

but what if the firms face 2 different MC, the example im trying to complete changes the MC of one firm from when the reaction functions were worked out.

how did you get from p=70-1/2 q1 to MR1=70-q1?

@EconomicsinManyLessons

Firm 1's inverse demand is P = 70 - 0.5q1. Firm 1's total revenue, TR = P x q1, TR = (70 - 0.5q1)q1 Multiply through by q1 gives TR = 70q1 -0.5q1^2 Take derivative to get: MR = dTR/dq1 = 70 - 2(0.5)q1 = 70 - q1. A short-cut method: given an inverse demand given by P = a - bq, the marginal revenue equation will be the same as the price equation but with a slope that is twice as steep: MR = a - 2bq.

Dealing with Monopoly (The first mover works as a monopoly at that stage), in that shape of equation, u simply multiply *2 the q coefficient.

hi there when you differenciate p to mr in respect to q1 would the 70 not disappear and the mr=-q1???

How do you calculate the profit? I mean I know its the Stackelberg price times the Monopoly quantity subtracted by the cost etc. But why is the monopoly quantity used not the Stackelberg quantity to get profit?

thanks for this video it helped me pass the test

why the reaction function value is not included while calculating marginal cost, since q2 is also a function of q1 therefore Marginal cost should be 20. Please reply ASAP thanks

𝑞1 = 720 − 2𝑝1 + 𝑝2 𝑞2 = 720 − 2𝑝2 + 𝑝1 Compute each firm’s output at the subgame perfect equilibrium of the sequential game when firm 1 is the leader, and the firms compete on quantity. How to do this question please???

There are two firms whose market demand is :Q=3200-1600P. Their costs are - Firm1 :TC1 =0.25q1 and Firm2 : TC2 =0.5q2 . Firm1 is leader whike firm2 is follower , solve for stackleberg output levels ,market price and profit levels of the firms. I'm not able to get the answer, please help me out .

I have a problem like this.where i need to find the Stackelberg market equilibrium. Market demand is Q=3200-1600p where Q=Q1+Q2 and the cost function of two firms 1(the leader) and 2 (the follower) are: TC1(Q1)= 0.25Q1 and TC2= 0.5Q2. Will you please solve this for me.I will be helpful to you..

Thank you for the explanation. I am going through looking for easy videos for Cournot, Betrand, Sweezy and Stackleberg. Also, sounds like someone is reaching out from the beyond at the 2:10. The ghost of Stackleberg.

Well appreciated but the TC was not specified either for Q1 or Q2 so differentiating it to get MC which is equal to c and equal to MR at equilibrium is not understandable to me. 🙏🙏

If you have two cost functions (one for each firm), which one do you differentiate to get MC? Or do you combine them to get TC and then differentiate? Great video thanks!

@EconomicsinManyLessons

9 жыл бұрын

You will differentiate both cost functions to get the MC of firm 1 and MC of firm 2. You will set the MR of firm 1 (Stackelberg leader) equal to firm 1's MC. When deriving firm 2's reaction function (as shown in my Cournot video), you should set firm 2's MR equal to firm 2's MC.

Thank you so much!

Hello mate, Thank you for making me understand the stackelberg model. I have a small question, How did you derive MR = 70 - q1, from P=70-1/2q1? Please help, Many Thanks,

@EconomicsinManyLessons

9 жыл бұрын

Yoges Ramsurrun Let me explain it two ways. First, MR is exactly like the inverse demand equation but with a slope that is twice as steep. So if P = a- bQ, MR = a - 2bQ. In the video P = 70 - 0.5Q, so MR = 70 - 2(0.50)Q, which equals 70 - Q. Second, a firm's revenue (R) = price times quantity, or R = PQ. substitute the inverse demand equation into revenue equation to get: R = (70 - 0.5Q)Q = 70Q - 0.5Q^2. Take the derivative of the revenue function (R = 70Q - 0.5Q^2) to get MR, which gives MR = 70 - Q.

have you figured it out yet???\

Shouldn't the reaction function from Firm 2 be substituted into the profit function of Firm 1, instead of the revenue function? Since the problem faced by Firm 1 is to optimise profit and not revenue.

@EconomicsinManyLessons

4 жыл бұрын

Firm 1 profit = TR (Q1, Q2) - TC (Q1). You can substitute into either the revenue or profit function...you get the same result either way because firm 2's output is only part of the revenue function of firm 1.

How can you get Q2=30-1/2Q1 ?

@EconomicsinManyLessons

6 жыл бұрын

TR2 = (100 - q1 - q2)q2 = 100q2 - q1q2 - q2^2. The partial derivative of TR2 with respect to q2 is MR2 = 100 - q1 - 2q2. Set MR2 = MC2 to get 100- q1 -2q2 = 40. Solve for q2 = 30 -1/2q1.

how did you get MR = 70 - q1 from P = 70 - (0.5)q1 ?

Firm 1's inverse demand is P = 70 - 0.5q1. Firm 1's total revenue, TR = P x q1, TR = (70 - 0.5q1)q1 Multiply through by q1 gives TR = 70q1 -0.5q1^2 Take derivative to get: MR = dTR/dq1 = 70 - 2(0.5)q1 = 70 - q1.

Top dad

I wish my dad was an econ master

A quick tip, If you have already solved the same equation for a Cournot equilibrium, the Stackleburg solution will just be, the (Cournot equilibrium)x(3/4) For Example q2=(Cournot EQ)*(3/4) q1=q2*2 In the context of this series... q2=20*(3/4) q2=15 q1=15*2 q1=30

If MC of the firms are 0. Then is Cournot and Stackelberg solution the same? Mine is coming the same. Just confirming

@EconomicsinManyLessons

4 жыл бұрын

In Cournot, assuming each firm has the same marginal cost (or MC = 0 for both firms), each firm will produce the same quantity of output. In Stakelberg, with the same conditions, the Stackleberg leader will produce twice as much output as the other firm. Try this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n5ynlKWdXc6epdI.html

What if firm 2 is the mover and firm 1 is to follow? I suggest you make a video of a solution of such situation with different cost structures. Thank you

Total cost for firm 1 is TC = 49q1, the derivative is 40. Do a similar thing for firm 2, writing TC = 40q2.

The presence of fixed cost will not affect marginal cost. Fixed cost is just a constant, and the derivative of a constant is zero. If this video used fixed cost like TC = 40Q + 200, the answers would be unchanged.
