1) Given the following payoffloss table for a game between two players: Player 2 (Defensive) Strategies A B C Player 1 (Offensive) Strategies a) What type of game do the two players play? Determine the range of the value of the game. b) Determine the probability of the strategies of each player. c) What strategies should the two players play? What is the value of the game? Who wins the game?|| 1 2 6 -1 2 5 4 3 1 -2 -2
2- Consider the following game. Player 2 Player 1 U 12, 2 | 3, 9 5, 8 4, 2 D (a) Find all the Nash equilibria, pure and mixed. (b) Suppose that the payoff of the column player u:(D, L) is reduced from 8 to 6, but all other payoffs remain the same. Again, find all the pure- and mixed-strategy Nash equilibria. (c) Compare the mixed-strategy equilibria in parts (a) and (b). Did this worsening in one of player 2's payoffs change player 2's equilibrium mixed strategy? Did it change player l's? Give some intuition.
Consider the following two-player game with three options for each player. (Payouts are listed for the row player first, then the column player.) player Y layery 3,3 A 1,5 4,4 6,2 K 8,1 3,7 5,2 0,6 1,1 Find a mixed Nash equilibrium for this game. Solution suggestion: Use two variables per player. If p and are the probabilities of selecting the first two strategies, then 1-p-q is the probability of selecting the third strategy. You will need to solve a system of equations.
4. Consider a normal form game with N= {1,2} and S= {A,B,C,D} x {W,X,Y,Z}. Assume that L1 allows to eliminate D and X, L2 allows to eliminate B and C, and L3 allows to eliminate Z. Provide payoffs that lead to this outcome. State the rationality assumptions explicitly.
What is the SPNE of the following game, where Player 1 moves first and can play A or B, and player 2 moves second and can play X or Y? Player 1 A B Player 2 Y 3,1 2, 3 1, 2 1, 2 >
