Ann, Bob, Carl, Dora, Eddy and Frank are the contestants in a new TV show. They are placed on an island. The rules of the game are as follows. Ann goes first. She is given a bag that everyone knows contains six gold coins. Ann makes a proposal of how to allocate the six coins among the six contestants including herself. The contestants (including Ann) then vote "yes" or "no" on the proposal. If the proposal gets more than half the votes then the coins are allocated according to the proposal and everyone leaves the island. If the proposal gets half or fewer than half the votes then Ann has to leave the island empty-handed and she is out of the game. In this case, the bag of six gold coins passes to Bob. He gets to make a proposal of how to allocate the coins among the remaining contestants (i.e., including Bob but excluding Ann) and the remaining contestants (i.e., including Bob but excluding Ann) then vote. As before, if the proposal gets more than half the votes then the coins are allocated according to the proposal and everyone leaves the island. If the proposal gets half or fewer than half the votes then Bob has to leave the island empty-handed and is out of the game. In this case, the bag of six gold

Cameron and Luke are playing a game called ”Race to 10”. Cameron goes first, and the players take turns choosing either 1 or 2. In each turn, they add the new number to a running total. The player who brings the total to exactly 10 wins the game. a) If both Cameron and Luke play optimally, who will win the game? Does the game have a first-mover advantage or a second-mover advantage? b) Suppose the game is modified to ”Race to 11” (i.e, the player who reaches 11 first wins). Who will win the game if both players play their optimal strategies? What if the game is ”Race to 12”? Does the result change? c) Consider the general version of the game called ”Race to n,” where n is a positive integer greater than 0. What are the conditions on n such that the game has a first mover advantage? What are the conditions on n such that the game has a second mover advantage?
QUESTION 8 S1, S2, S3 and S4 are UIUC students who just graduated. They each have a poster of Dolly Parton that they are willing to sell.

Minimum Selling Prices Maximum Buying Pricen X+$9 S1 $10 B1 S2 $11 B2 X+$14 S3 $20 B3 X+$16 S4 $25 B4 X+$26 If X is negative $5 (.e., Xu-$5), what is the market-clearing price?

In this version of the ultimatum game experiment, one participant is given £100, and is told to offer to split that amount with another participant. The second player can either refuse to accept the division, in which case the participant receiving the £100 has to give it back, or can accept the division, in which case, the player receiving the money splits the £100 as proposed. For the participant who has to accept or reject the offer A) The best strategy is to accept any offer which meets the social norm for fairness. B) The best strategy is to threaten to turn down any transfer of less than £100 to ensure that the person receiving the money makes a fair offer. C) There is a dominant strategy to accept any offer because gaining some money is better than gaining no money D) There is a dominant strategy to turn down any offer other than £50 because an unequal split would be unfair.
BET GAME Each player puts an ante of $1 into the pot. There are four kings and four queens. The professor will randomly draw a card from the dealer, privately observe what it is, and decide whether to fold or to bet.< a) If the professor folds, the game ends, and you wins the pot, gaining the professor's $1 ante.< b) If the professor bets, another dollar will be placed in the pot, after which you has the option to either fold or call.< b-1) if you fold, the game is end and you lose you $1 ante.< b-2) if you call, you need to add another $1 to the pot and the professor need to reveal the card. At this stage, there will be $4 in the pot. You win the pot with a queen and lose the pot with a king.< (1) Draw the Game Tree.< (2) Write down the Payoff Matrix. (3) Find the Bayesian Nash Equilibrium (4) Find the Perfect Bayesian Nash Equilibrium.<
A crime is witnessed by 3 citizens. Every citizen would like the police to be informed about the crime, but prefers that someone else reports it (filing a report is a hassle). Each of the three citizens chooses simultaneously (and independently) whether to call the police or not. When no one makes a call, every citizen receives payoff 0. If at least one citizen calls the police, citizens who call get payoff 5, and those who don't call get payoff 9. (a) Find all Nash equilibria in pure strategies. (b) Compute a symmetric Nash equilibrium in mixed strategies (i.e., an equilibrium in which every citizen calls with the same probability p E (0, 1)). (c) Does the game have a Nash equilibrium in pure or mixed strategies different from those you identified in (a) and (b)? If yes, construct one. If not, argue why not.

Player 1 is an Internet service provider and Player 2 is a potential customer. They consider entering into a contract of service for a period of time. The provider decides between two levels of service: High or Low. The potential customer decides whether to Buy or Not Buy. When the potential customer calls customer service, the Internet service provider makes the initial offer.The potential customer then decides whether to Buy or Not Buy. Let’s say that the interaction ends after the potential customer makes their decision. Please set up the extensive form according to the following outcomes: i. If the Internet service provider offers Low and the potential customer doesn’t buy, they both make off with 1. ii. If the Internet service provider offers Low and the potential customer buys, the Internet service provider makes off with 3, and the customer receives 0. iii. If the Internet service provider offers High and the potential customer doesn’t buy, the Internet service provider makes…

Taylor, Faith, Jay, and Jessica are college roommates. They're trying to decide where the four of them should go for spring break: Orlando or Las Vegas. If they order the tickets by 11:00 PM on February 1, the cost will be just $500 per person. If they miss that deadline, the cost rises to $1,200 per person. The following table shows the benefit (in dollar terms) that each roommate would get from the two trips. Roommate Taylor Benefit from Orlando Benefit from Las Vegas Faith $1,250 $800 $550 $800 Jay Jessica $650 $600 $850 $1,050 The roommates tend to put off making decisions. So, when February 1 rolls around and they still haven't made a decision, they schedule a vote for 10:00 PM that night. In case of a tie, they will flip a coin between the two vacation destinations. The roommates will get the most total benefit if they choose to go to Given the individual benefits each roommate receives from the two trips, which trip will each roommate vote for?

Harry and Rebecca are working on a joint project. Harry is responsible for the hardware, his choices are between an Apple (A), IBM (B) or Cisco (C). Rebecca will be developing the software choosing between existing software development tools YouCreate (Y) or Zoho Creator (Z). Harry expects her to choose an appropriate software without consulting him. However, YouCreate is incompatible with IBM hardware, but works well with Apple products. Rebecca prefers YouCreate For Apple hardware, otherwise she prefers Zoho Creator. The problem is that Harry has been looking for hardware on his own and has not informed Rebecca which hardware he bought. If Harry bought a Cisco product, it comes with its own software development product. Payoffs are as follows: if Harry bought a Cisco product, they each receive $3, irrespective of the software development tool Rebecca has brought. If Harry bought an apple hardware and Rebecca a YouCreate tool then Rebecca receives $2, and Harry $4. If Rebecca has…
