In 2008, a former Intel engineer has been charged with stealing trade secrets worth $1 billion. Intel owns 80 percent of the worldwide market for microprocessors, AMD has the rest. Conducting R&D is very expensive so suppose that each of these firms can either steal R&D or develop their own R&D. If both firms develop their own R&D, economic profit will be $50 million each. If one company steals R&D, that firm earns $100 million in economic profit while the other firm earns $10 million. If both firms steal R&D, each firm breaks even. What is NOT true about this game?
A) The outcome will not be a dominant strategy equilibrium.
B) A strategy is to steal R&D.
