Abstract

We apply game theory into a specific game in airline market in order to review the games we discussed in this session. In order to be more practical, we also apply some knowledge in economics of network industries in the model. Finally, we get some simple conclusions and some conjectures which need us to prove in future classes.

Keywords

the quantity of a firm's demand can be expressed as below:

q_1=1000-5p_1+3p_2

and,

q_2=1000-5p_2+3p_1
