Analyze the following game. Create payoff bimatrices consistent with the information given. Explain your choices. Then find the maximin moves, all dominated strategies for all players. Game: Adam, Bill, and Cindy are registering for a foreign language class independently and simultaneously. The available classes are ITA100 and FRE100. They d not care much which, but they care with whom they share the class. Bill and Cindy want to be in the same class, but want to avoid Adam. Adam wants to be in the same class as Bill or Cindy, or even better, both.

Consider the following game in normal form. Not cooperate Cooperate Not cooperate 20,20 50,0 Cooperate 0,50 40,40 What needs to be complied with so that the players would like to cooperate? What happens when one of the players does not cooperate? Why? Define trigger strategy. Calculate the discount factor (δ) that would make both players decide to cooperate.
Felix and Jocelyn are arrested and charged with armed robbery. The police interview both suspects separately about their involvement in the crime. Each suspect has to make a decision. They can betray the other suspect by confessing that they both committed the crime, or they can cooperate with the other suspect by remaining silent. The table shows the sentences that Felix and Jocelyn will receive given their choices. Use the table to answer the question. What will be the dominant strategy outcome for Felix and Jocelyn? They both get 12 years. O They both get 10 years. Felix gets 5 years, and Jocelyn gets 15 years. Jocelyn gets 5 years, and Felix gets 15 years. Felix Stay silent Confess Stay silent Jocelyn gets 10 years Felix gets 10 years Jocelyn Jocelyn gets 15 years Felix gets 5 years Confess Jocelyn gets 5 years Felix gets 15 years Jocelyn gets 12 years Felix gets 12 years
The following payoff table lists the profits of a buyer and a seller. The seller acts first by choosing a sale price ($9, $8, or $6). The buyer then decides the quantity of the good to purchase (two units, four units, six units, or eight units). a. Suppose the buyer and seller transact only once. Does the buyer have a dominant strategy? Depending on the price quoted, what is his best response? What price should the seller set? Explain carefully. Buyer Quantities 2 Units 4 Units 6 Units 8 Units P $9 10, 6 20, 5 30, 0 40, 8 Seller P $8 8, 8 16, 9 24, 6 32, 0 Prices P $6 4, 12 8, 17 12, 18 16, 16 b. Suppose the seller and buyer are in a multiyear relationship. Each month, the buyer quotes a price and the seller selects her quantity. How might this change each player’s behavior? c. Now suppose the buyer and seller are in a position to negotiate an agreement specifying price and quantity. Can they improve on the result in part (a)? Which quantity should they set? What price would be…
Consider the following sequential bargaining game. Two players, A and B, have a total of $240,000 to divide between them. A makes an offer first, then B agrees or makes a counter offer and so on. Delay in reaching an agreement is very costly in that during the time between two offers the 'pot' shrinks by 50%. There are at most 4 rounds, i.e. if A rejects B's second offer, both players get zero. (a) Draw the game tree. (b) Find the subgame perfect equilibrium.
Consider the following representation of a hockey shootout. The shooter can shoot on their forehand, or deke to their backhand, and the goalie can anticipate either move. The number in each cell in the table below represents the percentage chance that the shooter scores for each pair of pure strategies. Anticipate Forehand Anticipate Backhand Shoot Forehand 20 40 Deke Backhand 40 10 In the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium of this game, what is the percentage chance that the player scores? (ie. An 80% chance should be recorded as 80)
Three politicians are voting on whether to allow themselves a salary increase of$3,500per a year. If they vote in favor of a raise, then they lose some public support, costing them each$1,500 per year. The salary increase passes if two or more politicians vote in favor of it. What is this game’s Nash equilibrium (or equilibria)? Explain. There is no need to draw a payoff matrix.

Person A can trust or not trust person B. If person A decides to not trust, both players get a zero payoff. If Person A trusts, Person B can abuse or honour the trust bestowed upon them. If person B abuses Person A's trust, Person A gets a negative payoff. If person B honours person A's trust, person A gets a positive payoff. Person B can be of two types: trustworthy or not trustworthy. Both trustworthy and untrustworthy person B types get a positive payoff if they honour A's trust. But a trustworthy person B prefers to honour person A's trust whereas an untrustworthy B prefers to abuse. 2 Nature determines randomly if person B is trustworthy or not. Person B knows if they are trustworthy or not but person A doesn't know. The probability that person B is not trustworthy is a and the probability that person B is trustworthy is 1 a. a is common knowledge, meaning that both person A and person B know the probability of person B being (not) trustworthy. a) Draw the extensive game version…
