Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

In the R&D game of chicken, a firm can use the R&D if either it conducts the R&D or if its competitor conducts the R&D. So if one firm conducts the R&D, it bears the cost and reaps the reward but the other firm reaps only the reward because it pays none of the costs. In a game of chicken, neither firm wants to do the R&Dboth firms would prefer that the other conduct the R&D. In the prisoners' dilemma R&D game, a firm can use the R&D only if it conducts R&D. If one firm conducts R&D, the firm incurs the costs of the R&D but then it alone reaps the rewards of the R&D. In this situation, both firms have the incentive to cheat on any agreement to restrict R&D because each firm knows that if it, and it alone cheats, its profit will increase.
