Mutual cooperation is a strong Nash equilibrium as all other options are less profitable.
Since type-1 equilibrium involves rejection while type-2 equilibrium entails profitable trade, the model predicts that the expert makes promise SQ and that he exhibits type-2 behavior after acceptance.
After a sensitivity analysis aimed at finding market conditions of profitable operation for thermal and hydroelectric power plants, a Nash-equilibrium market model is used to determine producers' optimum strategies, depending on their relative market power and overall production characteristics.
The latter feature of team behavior reinforces the consistency of teams, as it makes it more profitable for teams to be consistent themselves, because not playing Nash against an opponent who picks the equilibrium strategy leads to smaller payoffs than choosing the equilibrium strategy.
Equilibrium for a firm will be the combination of outputs on the PPF that is most profitable.
In this range SQ selects the type-2 equilibrium, while AP selects the type-1 equilibrium; since type-1 equilibrium involves rejection while type-2 equilibrium entails profitable trade, the model predicts that the expert makes promise SQ and that he exhibits type-2 behavior after acceptance.
