2. Consider a two-stage game of complete but imperfect information where players 1 and 2 simultaneously choose actions a₁ and a₂ in stage 1 and players 3 and 4 simultaneously choose actions a3 and a in stage 2. Provide the notation for the Nash equilibrium in stage 2. How come players 1 and 2 can anticipate this outcome in stage 2?
P1| P2 Left Middle Right Left 4,2 3,3 1,2 Middle 3,3 5,5 2,6 Right 2,1 6,2 3,3 Consider the simultaneous move game represented by this payoff matrix. Suppose that the game is repeated for two periods and the players know that the game will end at the end of two periods. They observe the first period outcome before they move to the second period. Assume that there is no discounting, i.e. 2nd period payoffs are not discounted, or the discount factor is equal to 1. Which of the following outcomes could occur in some subgame perfect equilibrium (SPE) of this repeated game? Choose True if you think the outcome can be a SPE, otherwise choose False. a) (Left, Left) is played in both periods. b) (Right, Right) is played in both periods. c) (Middle, Middle) is played in both periods. d) (Middle, Middle) is played in the first period, followed by (Left, Left). e) (Middle, Middle) is played in the first period, followed by (Right, Right).
Question 4 Consider allocating an object to one of two players when each player's pref- erences are her private information. Player 1's value for the object, denoted by vị is drawn from a continuous distribution with (1. 2] as its support. Player 2's value for the object, denoted by v2, is likewise drawn from the interval 0, 1]. 1. What is the equilibrium in dominant strategies if a second price auction is used to allocate the object. Is the outcome ex-post efficient? 2. For what pairs (v1, v2) should Player 1 and Player 2 respectively be allocated the object in a mechanism that maximizes expected revenue for the seller? 3. Comment on the differing allocations you obtained in the previous two parts.

Consider the following infinitely repeated game: 1/2 C D с 2,2 -3,3 D 3,-3-2,-2 a. Start with C and continue playing C as long as neither player deviates. If any player deviates, play D from that point onwards. For what value of the discount factor will this strategy be subgame perfect. b. Start with C, D and alternate between C,D and D,C. In case of deviation, play D,D forever. Can this strategy be subgame perfect?
1. Use the following game tree to answer parts a & b. At a chance node (Nature's turn) or when a player is indifferent between strategies, each branch has equal likelihood (50% chance they take either path). Nature receives no payoff. Assume players are mistake proof. Use a complete strategy when discussing the results of this game and provide a payoff, even if that payoff is an expected one. Recall that an expected payoff is the "average" payoff: for example if with 50% chance we receive a payoff of 5 and with 50% chance we receive a payoff of 2, the expected payoff is .5 x 5+ .5 x 2 = 3.5 a. What is the outcome of the game? Assume players are risk neutral (i.e., they see no difference in getting a payoff of 5 vs an expected payoff of 5).

Consider the following payoff matrix B R U 7, 7 4,17 A 17,4 6,6 Players A and B repeatedly play this game with an infinite horizon. Future payoffs are discounted with 1/(1+r), where r is the long-term interest rate. Determine the interval of r for which the Carrot-and-Stick strategy does form a Nash-equilibrium when the opponent can discover any deviation immediately. Remember the following relation TA+Lt-1 (14+t) TB TB = TA + O r>0.1 O r0.2 Or-1 O r1
Suppose the following game is repeated infinitely. The players have a common discount factor & E (0,1). C D 1 C3,2 0,5 D 5,0 1,1 For high enough values of 8, there is an equilibrium of the infinitely repeated game in which (C, C) is played in the first 4 periods followed by (D, D) in sub- sequent periods. Is this true or false? Explain carefully.

3. Repeated Game Consider the game in which the stage game depicted below is infinitely repeated and in which both players discount future payoffs with discount factor 6 € [0, 1]. Player 1 E S Player 2 E 3,3 4, -1 S -1.4 1,1 (a) Suppose that both players play the tit-for-tat strategy. This strategy is characterized by exerting effort (playing E) in the first round. Then in future rounds, a player copies the action chosen by his opponent in the previous period (i.e if Player 2 shirks (plays S) in period 2, then Player 1 plays S in period 3). Then, for what values of d can tit-for-tat be supported on the equilibrium path of play? (b) Suppose that both players play the perfect tit-for-tat strategy. This strategy is characterized by exerting effort (playing E) in the first round. Then in future rounds, a player plays E unless the actions are disagreed in the previous period. Then, for what values of d can perfect tit-for-tat be supported on the equilibrium path of play?
