Each player has an incentive to choose an action that, when both players choose it, makes them both worse off. This situation describes a. a dominant strategy. b. the prisoners' dilemma. c. interdependence. d. Nash equilibrium. e. tit for tat.

Krugman's economics for AP

the-prisoners-dilemma-is-a-two-person-game-illus-trating-that-a-the-cooperative-outcome-could-be-wor-25478

The prisoners' dilemma is a two-person game illus- trating that a. the cooperative outcome could be worse for both people than the Nash equilibrium. b. even if the cooperative outcome is better than the Nash equilibrium for one person, it might be worse for the other. c. even if cooperation is better than the Nash equilib- rium, each person might have an incentive not to cooperate. d. rational, self-interested individuals will naturally avoid the Nash equilibrium because it is worse for both of them.

00:09 So, of the given options, option c is repeated and both firms offer credible threats if the other violates the agreement, sounds about right for a collusive agreement.
00:23 This is because in a repeated game scenario, firms have the opportunity to maintain cooperation over time through the fear of future consequences...
