pavelopv why C? isn't monopolistic profit divided amoung players in collusive agreement?
At Nash equilibrium sum of profits of the players is less than monopolistic profit!
Am I mistaken?
Mikael If players SHARE the monopoly profit, they cooperate, which is not always the case in a Nash equilibrium. So, D is my answer.
Sabs Read the question guys, it say "An equilibrium....."
Its asking about the equilibrium not what kind of agreement.
