以下是引用lanwl8在2005-12-4 18:46:06的发言: 厂商的 Best Reaction Function:Q= P/2 - 1。具体是怎么算出来的?为什么这条线和 Demand Function 的交点对应的产量就是限定价格后的最大产量呢?
The Firm's problem is maximizing profit by choosing output (Q), taken price (P)given:
max { PQ-Q2-2Q }
Solve that, we can get the Firm's best reaction function, which is a upward sloping line. The intersection of the demand function and the reaction function is the piont we are looking for, denoted by (P*, Q*).
If the government set P<P*, the firm will choose a lower output according to the reaction function. If the government set P>P*, the firm will be forced to produce at a lower output according to the demand function.
Draw a graph, you may see that clearly.
