16. Boeing is considering whether it should develop its next aircraft with a wide body (WIDE) or whether it should make it a long aeroplane (LONG). Airbus, Boeing's competitor, also has a choice between choosing WIDE or LONG. The payoffs to the two companies are shown in the payoff matrix below. What are the (pure strategy) Nash equilibrium in this game? (The first action in the brackets is the strategy of Boeing, while the second is Airbus's strategy.)

7. Solving for dominant strategies and the Nash equilibrium Suppose Carlos and Deborah are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Carlos chooses Right and Deborah chooses Right, Carlos will receive a payoff of 5 and Deborah will receive a payoff of 1. Carlos Deborah Left Left 4,4 Right 2,4 Right 6,7 5,1 The only dominant strategy in this game is for to choose The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Carlos chooses and Deborah chooses
Game Theory. Consider the following scenario: Two cloth manufacturing companies, A and B. Firm A designs a few costumes, and they are confident enough that they will be sold quickly in the market, but after launching their designs, they make very little profit due to a lack of capital to promote their designs. Now firm B uses these designs and makes a significant profit due to its brand value. 1. Demonstrate that the situation IS a game (explain strategic interaction/conflict).
Imagine that there are two snowboard manufacturers (FatSki and WideBoard) in the market. Each firm can either produce ten or twenty snowboards per day. The table below (see attached) shows the profit per snowboard for each firm that will result given the joint production decisions of these two firms. Draw the game payoff matrix for this situation. Does either player have a dominant strategy? If so, what is it? What is the Nash equilibrium solution and how many boards should each player produce each day? Since FatSki and WideBoard must play this game repeatedly (i.e. make production decisions every day), what strategy would you advise them to play in order to maximize their payoff over the long term?

Two firms are competing to establish one of two new wireless communication standards, A or B. A strategy is a choice of standard, and an outcome of this game is a choice of standard by each firm – for example, (A, B) represents the case where Firm 1 decides to develop standard A and Firm 2 develops standard B. Here, the first letter will always correspond to Firm 1’s decision, and the second letter to Firm 2’s decision. Firm 1 has the following preferences over outcomes, in order of highest to lowest preferred: it prefers (A, A) to (B, A) to (A, B) to (B, B). Firm 2 prefers (A, B) to (A, A) to (B, A) to (B, B). Suppose that firms simultaneously decide which standard to develop. What is the pure strategy Nash equilibrium?

Which of the following statements are true? In all Nash Equilibria of the game Team 2 plays B This game has two Nash Equilibria Team 1's best response to team 2 playing B is to play A. O None of the other answers are correct This game has a mixed strategy Nash Equilibria where a player randomizes over multiple options.
2) Two firms, X and Y, are planning to market their new products. Each firm can develop either TV or Laptop. Market research indicates that the resulting profits to each firm for the alternative strategies are given by the following payoff matrix: FIRM Y TV LAPTOP FIRM X TV 30, 30 60, 35 LAPTOP 40,70 20, 20 A) If both firms make their decisions at the same time and follow maximin (low-risk) strategies, what will the outcome be? B) Suppose both firms try to maximize profits, but Firm X has a head start in planning, and can commit first. Now what will the outcome be? What will the outcome be if Firm Y has a head start in planning and can commit first? C) What is the cooperative outcome? D) Which firm benefits most from the cooperative outcome? How much would that firm need to offer the other?
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…
