6. Eventually, Aron and Nora who we met in the previous problem were able to get together and have now been an item for some time. So long, in fact, that there are issues. Aron is a little insecure, which makes him jealous. Nora is none too pleased about it. When she arranges a girls' night out with some of her friends, Aron is very upset and threatens to break up. So Nora has to decide to go out with her friends or stay home with Aron. If she stays home, she gets a payoff of 0, whereas Aron gets what he wants and a payoff of 2 (perhaps he should be a little more concerned with Nora's happiness). On the other hand, if Nora decides to go out, then Aron must make a choice between breaking up or not. If he breaks up, both he and Nora are miserable and each receives a payoff of -1. If he does not, he gets a payoff of 1 while Nora gets what she wants and a payoff of 2. a) Draw the extensive form of this game. b) Find all Nash equilibria. Explain your answer carefully.

QUESTION 4 Suppose there are 2 players in a non- cooperative game theory situation. Player A can move Up or Down while Player B can choose Left or Right. The following matrix contains the payoffs that each player receives under 4 scenarios. The first number in each cell refers to the payoffs for Player A. Player A Up Down A. B. C. 10, 60 D. 20, 80 Player B Suppose Player A moves first and Player B moves second. There is one equilibrium, Up, Left Left There is one equilibrium: Down, Right. 50, 90 40, 50 There are two equilibria, (Down, Left) and (Up, Right) Right There is one equilibrium in this game, Up Right
7. Solving for dominant strategies and the Nash equilibrium Suppose Antonio and Caroline 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 Antonio chooses Right and Caroline chooses Right, Antonio will receive a payoff of 9 and Caroline will receive a payoff of 8. Caroline Left Right Left 8, 5 8. 7 Antonio Right 3, 6 9, 8 The only dominant strategy in this game is for to choose The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Antonio chooses and Caroline chooses

The chicken game has often been used to model crises. Recall that in this game, the two players drive straight at each other. They can choose to swerve or keep going straight. If one swerves, and the other goes straight, assume that the one that swerves gets -10 utility and the one that goes straight gets 10 utility, since the one that swerves is deemed the loser. If both swerve, both get 0 utility. If both go straight, they crash and get -50 utility. Assume both players have a discount rate of 0.9 Draw the stage game of date night List all pure strategy Nash equilibria of the single stage game Consider an infinite horizon version of Chicken. Can you get an SPNE in which the both players swerve using a grim trigger type strategy? Consider the following strategies: both players swerve, as long as neither ever went straight. If one player ever plays straight, in all subsequent rounds the player that swerved goes straight and the player that went straight swerves. Can you think…
Last answer was incorrect.
1. Consider a game of chicken: two players approach a narrow bridge with room only for one, and each chooses either to go through and hope the other guy backs off (call this action H, for "hawk"), or backs off to let the other go through (call this action D, for "dove"). If both players are normal, then each gets a payoff of -1 from a collision (i.e. if both choose H), 1 if they choose H against D, 0 if they choose D (regardless of what the other player chooses). Now perturb the game as follows: there is a chance p > 0 that P2 is a “violent type", who gets 1 from playing H regardless of Pl's action, and -1 from playing D, again regardless of P1's action. (a) Illustrate the game tree corresponding to the Harsanyi transformation of this game (i.e. the dynamic game of imperfect information in which nature moves first). (b) Illustrate the extended game (i.e. the normal form game corresponding to your game tree in part (a)). (c) Find all values of p for which there is a BNE in which P1…
5. Two major networks are competing for viewer ratings in the 8:00-9:00 P.M. and the 9:00-10:00 P.M. slots on a given night. Each has two shows to fill these time periods. Each can choose whether to put its more popular show in the early or the 9:00-10:00 P.M. slot. The combination of decisions leads to the following results for "rating points." CBS Early Slot Late Slot NBC Early Slot 20, 30 18, 18 Late Slot 15, 15 30, 10 (A) Find the Nash equilibria for this game, assuming that both networks make their decisions at the same time. (B) What will be the equilibrium if NBC makes it selection first? If CBS makes it selection first?
