MS-172 Bertrand-Edgeworth Competition with Capacity Constraints v05

[Market Simulation] MS-172 Bertrand-Edgeworth Competition with Capacity Constraints
Market Simulation (MS-172) - Bertrand–Edgeworth CompetitionAgain simulates Bertrand Competition between Commodity Products usingthe same model as MS-171. But in this case, each of the Competitors haveCapacity Constraints that limit the number of Products they can sell. Both Spacely Sprockets andCogswell Cogs sell identicalcommodity "Sprocket" Products. The Price Experiment loop willtest changing both the Spacelyand Cogswell Prices up anddown (while keeping theCompetitor's Price constant). Compare all of the Spacely Price Changes: (a)Raise Price, (b) Maintain Same Price, (c) LowerPrice. Then select the Price that maximizes short-term Profit (assuming the Competitor does notchange Price). Compare all of the Cogswell Price Changes: (a)Raise Price, (b) Maintain Same Price, (c) LowerPrice. Then select the Price that maximizes short-term Profit (assuming the Competitor does notchange Price). Collect together the new Priceschosen by both Competitors.These new Prices will bepassed back to the Loop Start. Prices are not driven down toMarginal Cost when there areCapacity Constraints asCompetitors don't expect to beable to satisfy the whole market. Competitors each periodically tryraising Price to increaseProfitability expecting that theother Competitor will maintainPrice. There may exist no pure-strategyNash Equilibrium, but CapacityConstraints ensure that Profitsexist as Price will neverdecrease down to Marginal Cost. Capacity Constraints are definedhere in the Input Product Array.
