Game Theory and Economics
If the market is composed by a small number
of firms, each firm must act strategically.
Each firm affects the market price changing
the quantity produced.
Suppose 2 firms are producing 100 units.
If one of the firms decides to increase the
production by 10 units.
The market supply will increase from 200 to
210 and the price has to drop to reach an
equilibrium.
