a) In the game Matching Pennies, two players with pennies simultaneously choose whether to play Heads or Tails. If the two pennies match (HH or TT), then Player 1 wins. If the two pennies don't match (HT or TH), then Player 2 wins. This is essentially the same as what happens when someone serves in a game of tennis. Try to find all of the Nash Equilibria in the game shown below. Payoffs are listed in terms of profits to Venus (TV) and to Serena (Ts). Serena's Return Choice Forehand Backhand Forehand ITy = -1, As = 1 ITy = 1, As = -1 Venus' Service Choice Backhand JTy = 1, Ts = -1 ITy = -1, As =1

Consider a modified version of the ultimatum game, with altruism. There is a pie of size 50 to be split between Proposer (P) and Responder (R). In the first stage, P offers a share 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 of the pie to R. In the second stage, R accepts or rejects P's offer. If R accepts, the pie is split according to the proposed division, with P receiving (1 - x) x 50 and R receiving x x 50. If R rejects, both players receive none of the pie. But players' payoffs are not equal to how much of the pie they receive. In particular, payoffs in the event of an accepted offer are: Up (1x) x 50+ bx × 50 UR = x x 50+b(1-x) × 50 (Payoffs in the event of a rejected offer are 0 for both players.) Here, the parameter b > 0 measures how altruistic players are, i.e. how much "happier" a player is when his opponent receives more pie. a) Suppose b = 0.5. How much pie does P receive in the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium of the game? (specify the total amount of pie, not the share). b) Suppose b=0.5. What is P's…
Jane is interested in buying a car from a used car dealer. Her maximum willingness to pay for thecar is 12 ($12,000). Bo, the dealer, is willing to sell the car as long as he receives at least 9($9,000). What is the Nash bargaining solution to this game?
Suppose that, in an ultimatum game, the proposer may not propose less than $1 nor fractional amounts, and therefore must propose $1, $2, …, or $10 (see image attached below). The responder must Accept (A) or Reject (R). Suppose, first, that this game is played by two egoists, for whom u(x,y)=x. Find all subgame-perfect equilibria in this game. Suppose, second, that this game is played by two altruists, for whom u(x,y) = ⅔(x)1/2 + ⅓(y)1/2. Find all subgame-perfect equilibria in this game.
Two firms are competing on price. If they have the same price, they share the market - otherwise the one with the lowest price captures all demand Market demand follows Q(P)=100-3P Cost is C(Q)=10Q Firms can only choose between the following prices: 9, 10, 11, 12. In the Nash equilibrium of this game, what prices are charged? Suggestion: calculate the profits they obtain for each of the price combinations, write down the game in its normal form (payoff matrix), and then use the underlining method to match best responses. 12 11 9 10

Consider the following centipede game consisting of two players, Pl and P2. The left/right number each terminal node represents Pl's/P2's payoff, respectively. Then, answer the following questions of [D5] and [M5]-|M8]: P1 G P2 P1 G -(0, 2) D (2, 0) (1, 1) (4, 0) Suppose that P2 chooses G or D randomly. Then, what is the Pl's best response of P1 for the P2's choice? And explain why. We assume that random choice is level-0 in the level-k theory. Then, answer the P2's choice in level-2.

1.a) If the three executives of a fraudulent organization report nothing to the authorities, each gets a payoff of 100. If at least one of them blows the whistle, then those who reported the fraud get 28, while those who didn’t get -100. Suppose they play a symmetric mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium where each is silent (does not report fraud) with probability p. What is p?A, 0.1B, 0.28C, 0.5D, 0.8 b) In a two-player game, with strategies and (some known and some unknown) payoffs as shown below, suppose a mixed-strategy equilibrium exists where 1 plays C with probability 3/4, and Player 2 randomizes over X, Y, and Z with equal probabilities. What are the pure-strategy equilibria of this game? A, (A, Y) and (B, X)B, (A, Z) and (C, Y)C, (B, X) and (C, X)D, (C, X) and (C, Y)
In a small town there are two pizza restaurants . If neither restaurant advertises, its revenue will not change. If only one firm advertises, the firm that advertises will double its revenue and the firm that doesn't advertise will see a decrease in its revenue, but if both firms advertise, their revenue will not change. What outcome would be predicted by game theory in this market? Both restaurants will advertise. Game theory would predict chat sometimes one restaurant would advertise, and the rest of the time both will advertise. Neither restaurant will advertise Game theory is only a theory and cannot predict real-world events. One restaurant will advertise.
