QUESTION 3 Up Down In the game above, what is/are the sub-game perfect Nash equilibrium? Ⓒ (up,up) (up,down) Player 1 (down, up) (down, down) No equilibrium exists Up Down Up Down Player 2 P1 gets $25 P2 gets $25 P1 gets $7 P2 gets $30 P1 gets $13 P2 gets $9 P1 gets $8 P2 gets $6
N: $30 V: $130 High price New firm N: $50 V: $100 Low price Advertise Verizon N: $60 V: $140 Do not advertise Expand High price New New firm firm Low price N: $70 V: $90 Do not N: $30 V: $170 The figure shown displays the choices that could be made by Verizon and a new firm in the industry. The payoffs are the profits (in millions) these companies will earn as a result of their choices. What will be the outcome of this game? Multiple Choice The new firm will expand; Verizon will advertise; the new firm will choose high prices. The new firm will expand; Verizon will advertise; the new firm will choose low prices. The new firm will expand; Verizon will not advertise; the new firm will choose high prices. The new firm will not expand. еxpand
A case study in the chapter describes a phone conversation between the presidents of American Airlines and Braniff Airways. Let's analyze the game between the two companies. Suppose that each company can charge either a high price for tickets or a low price. If one company charges $300, it cams low profit if the other company also charges $300 and high profit if the other company charges $600. On the other hand, if the company charges $600, it cams very low profit if the other company charges $300 and medium profit if the other company also charges $600. a. Draw the decision box for this game. b. What is the Nash equilibrium in this game? Explain. c. Is there an outcome that would be better than the Nash equilibrium for both airlines? How could it be achieved? Who would lose if it were achieved?
Define the following terms with a suitable example: a. Zero Sum game. b. Saddle point of a game. c. Game of perfect information.
Once an original decision has been made, what happens on a game tree with each additional decision made by a player? A. A root sprouts downward. B. A new branch is formed. C. A new tree is created. D. A merger occurs between two branches.
Part 1 Sam and Ray do not like each other and will be miserable if they attend the same event. Both are going out Friday night to either the bar or a concert; and Sam will publicly tweet where he is going before Ray makes his plans. Each will get 6 payoff from going to a concert and 2 benefit from going to the bar if the other is not there. If both go to the same venue, they will get a payoff of zero. Write a game tree for this game and find the equilibrium strategy and equilibrium payoffs clearly labeling both. Part 2 Take the game from the question above and switch the order of the decisions. Write a game tree for this game and find the equilibrium strategy and equilibrium payoffs clearly labeling both. Has the equilibrium strategies and payoffs changed from the question above? Explain why.
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

8. Queen Elizabeth has decided to auction off the crown jewels, and there are two bidders: Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei and Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi. The auction format is as follows: The Sultan and the Sheikh simultaneously submit a written bid. Exhibiting her well-known quirkiness, the Queen specifies that the Sultan's bid must be an odd number (in hundreds of millions of English pounds) between 1 and 9 (that is, it must be 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9) and that the Sultan's bid must be an even number between 2 and 10. The bidder who submits the highest bid wins the jewels and pays a price equal to his bid. (If you recall from Chapter 3, this is a first-price auction.) The win- ning bidder's payoff equals his valuation of the item less the price he pays, whereas the losing bidder's payoff is 0. Assume that the Sultan has a valuation of 8 (hundred million pounds) and that the Sheikh has a valuation of 7. a. In matrix form, write down the strategic form of this game. b.…
5. The following problem was first considered by John von Neumann and is a fundamentalresult game theory.A and B play the following game:A writes down either number 1 or number 2, and B must guess which one.If the number that A has written down is i and B has guessed correctly, B receives i units from A.If B makes a wrong guess, B pays 4/5 of a unit to A.First we consider the expected gain of player B.Suppose B guesses 1 with probability p and 2 with probability 1 −p.Let X1 denote B’s gain (or loss) in a game where A has written down 1.Let X2 denote B’s gain (or loss) in a game where A has written down 2.(a) Find the pmf of X1 and X2(b) Find B’s expected gain for these two cases, E[X1] and E[X2].(c) What value of p maximizes the minimum possible value of B’s expected gain?Now consider the expected loss of player ASuppose that A writes down 1 with probability q and 2 with probability 1 −q.Let Y1 be A’s loss (or gain) if B chooses number 1.Let Y2 be A’s loss (or gain) if B…
