Answer:

The predicted growth rate is compared at  -2%

Explanation:

To calculate growth rate, G.R = X(1-\frac{Population}{Carrying capacity of earth})

In the 1960s,

The carrying capacity of the earth = 13 billion

Earth's population = 3 billion

X = \frac{(Growth rate in 1960)}{(1-\frac{Population in 1960}{Carrying Capacity in 1960}) }

X = 0.021 (1-\frac{3,000,000,000}{13,000,000,000} )

X = 0.021 × 0.77

X = 0.01617 = 1.6%

Current population calculation:

Growth Current population (C.p) = 0.016(1-\frac{current population}{current capacity})

Growth Current population (C.p) = 0.016(1 - \frac{6,800,000,000}{3,000,000,000} )

Growth Current population (C.p) = 0.016(-1.267)

Growth rate = -0.020272 = -2%

The predicted growth rate compare to the actual growth rate of about 1.2​% per​ year at -2%.

Both firms in a Cournot duopoly would enjoy lower profits if:
daser333 [38]

Answer:

each firm simultaneously increased output above the Nash equilibrium level.

Explanation:

A French mathematician, Antoine Augustine Cournot developed the Cournot duopoly in his economic model “Researches into the mathematical principles of the theory of wealth”, of 1838.

Cournot duopoly also known as the Cournot competition, is an economic model where two (2) business firms having identical cost functions compete in a oligopolistic market of imperfect competition with homogeneous products.

Under the Cournot duopoly, the competing firms offer identical products and thus, choose an amount or quantity to produce independently and at the same time because they cannot collude.

Both firms in a Cournot duopoly would enjoy lower profits if each firm simultaneously increased output above the Nash equilibrium level.

Hence, the advantage of the Cournot duopoly is that, it inhibits competing firms from deviating unilaterally.
