Respond to the question: Payoff Matrix?

Yes, it seems to be a simultaneous game. You have two players: A and B. Each player has two actions: R (reduce price) and S (same price). Write a 2x2 matrix, where rows represent A's actions and columns represent B's actions. The northwest entry is (R,R)=(10,10). The southwest is (S,R)=(0,20), the northeast is (R,S)=(20,0), and the southeast is (S,S)=(5,5). Try to understand how to get this matrix from the information you have. For the second problem, I guess you could link it to the matrix problem in the first problem. A good book for a start in game theory is Birman & Fernandez. [Manage messages]
