We can see from the payoff matrix that there are no pure strategy Nash equilibrium in this game because at least one firm would always have an incentive to change its behavior. From Nash's theorem, we know there must be at least one Nash equilibrium so there must be a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium for this game. Find the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium by first deleting all dominated strategies in the game What's the expected payoff to Firm 2 in the equilibrium?
What is game theory? How does it relate to strategic decision making? What do the phrases dominant strategy and Nash Equilibrium mean as they apply to game theory?
Which of the following statements about a Nash equilibrium is not correct? A. Each player plays a best response to opponents' Nash strategies. B. No player has a profitable unilateral deviation. C. For each finite noncoopertiave game there always exists a pure strategy Nash equilibrium. D. A game has at least two players. Which one of the following statements is incorrect? A. For dynamic games with complete information, not all subgame perfect Nash equilibrium points can be found by backward induction. B. A finite dynamic game with complete information may also have a normal form representation. C. A finite static game with complete information may not have a pure strategy Nash equilibrium. D. A finite static game with complete information cannot have an extensive form representation. Which one of the following statements is correct? A. A supergame cannot have any subgame perfect Nash equilibrium. B. A supergame can only have finite number of subgame perfect Nash…

a. b. Each firm has four alternative strategies, and a certain profit/payoff is associated with each strategy. The numbers in the payoff matrix denote firm A's profit (in thousands of dollars). The total amount of profit that can be earned by the two firms together is $20000. (This is called a "constant sum game.") Firm B's profit is therefore $20000 minus firm A's profit. What strategies will the two firms select? Is the game strictly determined? If so, how much does each firm gain?

What strategies will the two firms now select? Is the game strictly determined? If so, how much does each firm…
9. Little Kona is a small coffee company that is consider- ing entering a market dominated by Big Brew. Each company's profit depends on whether Little Kona enters and whether Big Brew sets a high price or a low price: Little Kona Enter Don't Enter High Price Kona makes $2 million Kona makes zero Big Brew Brew makes $3 million Brew makes $7 million Kona loses $1 million Low Price Kona makes zero Brew makes $1 million Brew makes $2 million
Consider the following game. Which one of the following statements is FALSE? 1. There are 7 subgames in this extensive-form game. 2. There are 6 proper subgames in this extensive-form game. 3. (BK, CE) is a Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium. 4. (BK, DE) is a Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium
Consider the attached game depicted in Normal Form. Find one Nash equilibrium and verify that it is a Nash equilibrium. Note: 1. Remember to express the Nash equilibrium in the form of a strategy profile. 2. Use the definition of Nash equilibrium to verify that the strategy profile you find is really a Nash equilibrium.
Which of the following best describes Nash equilibrium? a) A situation where one player dominates the others b) A situation where each player's strategy is optimal given the strategies of the others c) A situation where all players cooperate perfectly d) A situation where players change strategies constantly
QUESTION 18 Imagine the following game: The players: Emirates Airlines and Etihad Airlines The choice: cut fares by 50% or leave fares alone If both airlines cut fares, Each airline's profit = 400 million If neither airline cuts fares, Each airline's profit = 600 million If only one airline cuts its fares, Its profit = 800 million The other airline's profits = 200 million How many million each company will make in the Nash equilibrium of the game?
Use the following payoff matrix for a one-shot game to answer the accompanying questions. Player 2 Strategy X Y Player 1 A 30, 30 16, -50 B -50, 16 50, 50 A. Determine the Nash equilibrium outcomes that arise if the players make decisions independently, simultaneously, and without any communication. check all that apply (16, −50) (−50, 16) (30, 30) (50, 50) Which of these outcomes would you consider most likely? multiple choice (16, −50) (50, 50) (−50, 16) (30, 30) B. Suppose player 1 is permitted to “communicate” by uttering one syllable before the players simultaneously and independently make their decisions. What should player 1 utter? multiple choice A or B What outcome do you think would occur as a result? multiple choice (−50, 16) (16, −50) (30, 30) (50, 50) c. Suppose player 2 can choose its strategy before player 1, that player 1 observes player 2’s choice before making her decision, and that this move structure is…
