Table 11-8 Suppose OPEC Has Only Two Producers, Saudi Arabia

Table 11-8
Suppose OPEC has only two producers, Saudi Arabia and Ecuador. Saudi Arabia has far more oil reserves and is the lower-cost producer compared to Ecuador. The payoff matrix in Table 11-8 shows the profits earned per day by each country. "Low output" corresponds to producing the OPEC assigned quota and "high output" corresponds to producing the maximum capacity beyond the assigned quota.

A) Yes, the dominant strategy is to produce a high output.
B) Yes, the dominant strategy is to produce a low output.
C) No, there is no dominant strategy.
