- 38. Consider the following game. There are ten churches in town: nine are Catholic and one is Eastern Orthodox. All churches conduct their divine services at 10am on Sunday morning. You and your friend, without communication, agree to meet at a church service. If you fail to meet at the same church, then you are sad and become a Doomer. What is this game's focal point? Remember that you cannot communicate about this. (A) You meet at any of the Catholic churches. (B) You meet at any of the churches – denomination does not matter. We're all the same bro. (C) You meet at the Orthodox church. (D) There is no focal point. 39. Consider a fractional-reserve banking system in which an initial deposit of $1,000 can generate up to $4,000 in money. What is the reserve ratio? (A) 4 percent. (B) 5 percent. (C) 25 percent. (D) 75 percent.Two politicians from the same party decide whether to support or oppose the gov- ernment's environmental policy. Politician A prefers that they both support, but Politician B prefers that they both oppose. Both politicians agree that the party should have a coherent position and the worst outcome is that one supports and the other opposes the policy. (a) Formulate this situation as a strategic game - specify the players, actions, and payoffs (you can set-up a table of the actions and payoffs). (b) What are the Nash equilibria of this game? Explain your answer.5. Consider a game in which two players, Fred and Barney, take turns removing matchsticks from a pile. They start with 21 matchsticks, and Fred goes first. On each turn, each player may remove either 1, 2, 3, or 4 matchsticks. The player to remove the last matchstick wins the game. 1. Suppose there are only 6 matchsticks left, and it is Barney' s turn. What move should Barney make to guarantee himself victory? Explain your reasoning. 2. Suppose there are 12 matchsticks left, and it is Barney's turn. What move should Barney make to guarantee himself victory? (Hint: Use your answer to part (a) and roll back.) 3. Now start from the beginning of the game. If both players play optimally, who will win? 4. What are the optimal (complete) strategies for each player?
- 1. A row of minus signs is written on a whiteboard (can be any number). Two players take turns in replacing either a single minus sign by a plus sign or two adjacent minus signs by two plus signs. The player who makes the last move wins. Discuss the possible strategy for the first mover to force a win.5. Aaron and Betty play the following one-shot game. Aaron Up Middle Down Left 10,0 5,10 1,1 Betty Right 0,5 1,0 2,2 a. Does the game above have any (pure strategy) Nash equilibria? Find any equilibria or explain why an equilibrium doesn't exist. b. Suppose instead that Aaron moves first and Betty moves second. Represent this situation with a game tree and find the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium. Are Aaron and Betty better off playing a simultaneous game or a sequential game in which Aaron moves first? Explain. c.Consider the following game: Player 2 In Out Player 1 In -2,-2 2, 0 Out 0, 2 0, 0 (a) What is the Nash equilibrium of this game, or what are the Nash equilibriaof this game? (b) Does either firm have a dominate strategy (a strategy that is always abest response)? Which? (c) Suppose Player 1 could move before Player 2 and Player 2 could observe Player 1’s move. What do you think would happen?
- 3. For the friend-foe game, recall that there were 3 Nash equilibria possible, but the equilibria set didn't include the cooperative outcome, for which both players would win. Friend Foe Friend | 500,500 0,1000 Foe 1000,0 0,0 a) If the game is played repeatedly, propose a play strategy that will enforce cooperation. For what values of ô (discount factor) the equilibrium will be (Friend, Friend)?4. Consider the two-player Rock-Paper-Scissors game. Each player can choose between three pure strategies: Rock, Paper, and Scissors. Strategy Rock beats Scissors, but loses to Paper. Strategy Paper beats Rock but loses to Scissors. Strategy Scissors beats Paper, but loses to Rock. When the game is a draw, the payoff for the players is '0'. The payoff of winning is ‘+1' and the payoff of losing is '-1'. Formulate this problem as a two-person, zero-sum game by constructing a payoff table.4. Some types of resource conflicts can be modeled using the following game. Two players would each like to capture a valuable resource, worth R. Each player must choose a strategy from {Amicable, Belligerent}. If one player chooses Belligerent while the other chooses Amicable, the first will walk away with the resource, leaving nothing for the other player. If they both choose Amicable, the resource will be split equally between them. If they both choose Belligerent, the resource will also be split equally between them, but they will each suffer a cost C. P2 Amicable Belligerent 0, R R/2-C, R/2-C P1 Amicable R/2, R/2 Belligerent R, 0 4.1. What NEs in pure strategies will the game have for the case where a) R/2 > C, b) R/2 < C and c) R/2 = C? 4.2. Find a Nash equilibrium (NE) in fully (strictly) mixed strategies for this game using the indifference property. Assume that R and C are configured so that a fully mixed NE exists. 4.3. How is the mixed strategy NE affected by changes to R…

Consider a two player game with Fred and Barney, who tal turns removing matchsticks from a pile. They start with 33 matchsticks, and Fred goes first. On each turn, ecach player may remove either one, two, three, four, or five matchsticks. The player to remove the last matchstick wins the game. What are the optimal strategies for each player? Who will win? b. Suppose now that they can remove up to six matchsticks, how will the optimal strategies change for- each player? a.(The Beckhams' dilemma) Victoria and David are husband and wife. They both prefer ciean to dirty house but neither likes to clean the house. Their payoffs are given in the table below. Victoria Clean Don't clean 0,8 Clean 5,5 David Don't clean 8,0 1,1 a) Let say they play the clean house game only once, what is the Nash equilibrium? b) Let say Victoria and David has to decide whether to clean or not every day for indefinite number of days. How grim-trigger strategy will be our subgame perfect Nash equilibrium? In other words, what is the patience rate that ensure Victoria and David maintain the cleanliness of the house?
