Consider the figure below. The raider makes an initial stock purchase,in response to which management decides whether to buy the shares back at a premium (paygreenmail) or not. If no greenmail is paid, then the raider decides whether to purchaseadditional shares to take control of the target company. Find and correctly state all subgameperfect Nash equilibria

Apple and Google are interested in hiring a new CEO. Both firms have the same set of final candidates for the CEO position: Indra, Cao, and Virginia. Both firms need to decide who to make a job offer to, and the hiring process is such that they each only make one job offer. If, say, Apple makes a job offer to Indra and Google makes a job offer to one of the other candidates, then Apple’s probability of success in hiring Indra is pIndra. The same is true for Google. If they both make a job offer to Indra, each has probability pIndra/2 of success. It has been estimated that pIndra = 20%, and pCao = pVirginia = 30% (Note that these probabilities need not add up to 100%). Suppose that both Apple and Google attach a valuation of 10 to successfully hiring Indra, and a valuation of 7 to successfully hiring each of the other candidates. A hiring attempt, if unsuccessful, has a valuation of zero. Convert this story into a game by completing the following game table; Google…

An item is being sold in a first-price sealed-bid auction. There are n> 1 risk neutral bidders. Bidders have private values. Suppose that, prior to the auction, the seller can invest in advertising that affects bidders private values in a predictable way. If the seller spends a > 0 on advertising, then this results in bidders' private values being independent and uniformly distributed on an interval [0, 7], where ʊ = √a. The seller is risk neutral and there are no other costs involved in auctioning the item. a) Explain and derive the optimal advertising expenditure for the seller. b) How would the results from a) change if the item were auction? instead sold using a second-price
Assume that the effective security level is now determined by the highest (not the lowest) security measures chosen by airlines. Letting max{s1, . . . , sn} denote the highest of the airlines’ strategies, we find that airline i’s payoff is now 50 + 20 x max{s1, . . . , sn} -10 si.Assuming the same strategy sets, find all Nash equilibria.
Consider a game where there is a $2,520 prize if a player correctly guesses the outcome of a fair 7-sided die roll.Cindy will only play this game if there is a nonnegative expected value, even with the risk of losing the payment amount.What is the most Cindy would be willing to pay?
Two people are involved in a dispute. Person 1 does not know whether person 2 is strong or weak; she assigns probability a to person 2's being strong. Person 2 is fully informed. Each person can either fight or yield. Each person's preferences are represented by the expected value of a Bernoulli payoff function that assigns the payoff of 0 if she yields (regardless of the other person's action) and a payoff of 1 if she fights and her opponent yields; if both people fight then their payoffs are (-1, 1) if person 2 is strong and (1, -1) if person 2 is weak. Formulate this situation as a Bayesian game and find its Nash equilibria if a 1/2.
Game Theory Consider the entry game with incomplete information studied in class. An incumbent politician's cost of campaigning can be high or low and the entrant does not know this cost (but the incumbent does). In class, we found two pure-strategy Bayesian Nash Equilibria in this game. Assume that the probability that the cost of campaigning is high is a parameter p, 0 < p < 1. Show that when p is large enough, there is only one pure-strategy Bayesian Nash Equilibrium. What is it? What is the intuition? How large does p have to be? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
Consider the game in the image attached, which is infinitely repeated at t = 1, 2, ... Both players discount the future at rate: delta E(0, 1). The stage game is in the image attached. Suppose that the players play (C,C) in period t = 1, 3, 5, ... and plays (D,D) in period t = 2, 4, 6,... Compute the discounted payoff of each player.
A Bank has foreclosed on a home mortgage and is selling the house at auction. There are two bidders for the house, Zeke and Heidi. The bank does not know the willingness to pay of these three bidders for the house, but on the basis of its previous experience, the bank believes that each of these bidders has a probability of 1/3 of valuing it at $800,000, a probability of 1/3 of valuing at $600,000, and a probability of 1/3 of valuing it at $300,000. The bank believes that these probabilities are independent among buyers. If the bank sells the house by means of a second- bidder, sealed-bid auction, what will be the bank’s expected revenue from the sale? The answer is 455, 556. Please show the steps in details thank you!
