Default Re: Tough game theory question

it seems that price competition is going to best incentivize cooperation, because the difference in profits between the cooperative outcome and the Nash under price competition is greater than that under quantity competition. that is because price competition results in the perfectly competitive price and quantity for even two firms, whereas quantity competition results in some price above the perfectly competitive one and allows firms to earn profits. there could be something i'm missing.
