The results are shown in the following table.
Your firm produced: |
10 units |
The other firm produced: |
20 units |
Total production: |
30 units |
Unit selling price: |
60 – 30 = 30.0 |
Your profit: |

Instructions
You have been randomly and anonymously paired with another participant.
Each of you will represent a firm. Both firms manufacture the same product.
The two of you decide simultaneously and independently how many units to manufacture.
Your choices can be any number from 0 to 30.
All produced units will be sold, but the more is produced, the lower the unit selling price will be.
The unit selling price is:
Unit selling price = 60 – Units produced by your firm – Units produced by the other firm
Your profit is therefore:
Your profit = Unit selling price × Units produced by your firm
For your convenience, these instructions will remain available to you on all subsequent screens of this study.
