Abstract: Multiplicity of solutions is typical for systems where the individual's tendency to act in a certain way increases when more of the other individuals in the population act in this way. We provide a detailed analysis of a queueing model in which two priority levels can be purchased. In particular, we compute all of the Nash equilibrium strategies (pure and mixed) of the threshold type.
