7-2 Simulation Discussion: Oligopolies NOTE THAT A CUSTOM RUBRIC IS USED FOR THIS DISCUSSION.

An oligopoly is a market structure in which only a few sellers produce similar or identical products. Oligopolies are price-setters and can collude to behave like a monopolist.

First, play the simulation game Cournot in the MindTap environment. In this discussion, you will share your experiences playing that game. Your work in this discussion will directly support your success on the course project.

In your initial post, include the image of your simulation report in your response. See the How to Submit a Simulation Report Image PDF document for more information. Then, address the following questions:

• What are the main features of an oligopolistic market?
• How do oligopolies set their prices?
• Explain how you can distinguish a firm in an oligopolistic market from one in a monopolistic competitive market. Provide examples to illustrate.

In your responses, comment on at least two posts from your peers by providing examples from the news of oligopolistic markets. Compare and contrast with examples of monopolistic competitive markets.

I have a research that requires the use of the eviews program in order to do the analyzes , It requires collecting data for 30 years and analyzing it using this program.And the topic is about Saving and it’s impact on output in Saudi Arabia

Those are the required analyses:

? Hetrocedastisity

? Multi collinearity

? Autocorrelation

• The variables must be explained in theory form (as the nature of the relationship if it’s positive or negative) & statistically

• Variables are: GDP , savings, interest rate and inflation.

GDP (Y) is independent variable. Savings, Interest rate and inflation are dependent variables.

• Conclusion must include the relation of the variables with the research topic.

• Recommendations must be written after conclusion.

• Take screenshots with every step in eviews program and put it under the appendix.
• The whole research must not have any pronouns forms such as: we and I. Instead use formal forms for example: Through the study, it became clear that… do not use terms like we see.
