Nash Equilibrium:
I’m doing the best I can given what you are doing. You’re doing the best you can given what I am doing.
The Product Choice Problem
Two breakfast cereal companies face a market in which two new variations of cereal can be successfully introduced.
You (Company A) will not know the results of the exploration project when submitting your price offer, but Company T will know the results when deciding whether to accept your offer. Also, Company T will accept any offer by Company A that is greater than the (per share) value of the company under current management.
You are considering price offers in the range $0/share (i.e., making no offer at all) to $150/share. What price per share should you offer for Company T’s stock?
