H7. For q1=120-2p1-p2 and q2=120-2p2+p1, show that the duopolists have incentives to collude as well as find the -joint profit-maximizing price, output and profit and find each firm’s price, output and profit. What is the optimal defection of each firm, is collusion Nash equilibrium? Show in 2x2 matrix. Is it a prisoner’s dilemma?
