Petrol Price War

Jim Riley

28th November 2012

A great starter for any lesson when teaching the topic of Oligopoly. This article from the Belfast Telegraph

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-national/uk/tesco-and-asda-cut-petrol-prices-16243256.html

shows how when one supermarket slashes the prices of petrol (Tesco), the other follows suit (Asda).

I am using this article after teaching Game Theory.
