Once again, two ice cream truck vendors, A and B, are playing a simultaneous pricing game. If only one of the vendors prices low, he gets all the customers for a payoff of 12, while the other vendor gets no customers and a payoff of zero. If both vendors price high, they each get a payoff of 6. If both price low, they each get a payoff of 5. Suppose that the above game is repeated indefinitely, and together the vendors adopt a trigger strategy such that they would start charging the low price only if the other vendor charged a low price last time. Provided that the vendors stick to their new strategy, what would be the Nash equilibrium going forward? a) Both the vendors price high b) Both the vendors price low c) Vendor A prices high, vendor B prices low d) Vendor B prices high, vendor A prices low
See the extensive form game in the image attached (the payoffs of player 1 are written on top and the payoffs of player 2 are on the bottom). a) Write this game in normal form (a player's strategy is a complete contingent plan that tells them what to play at each of their information sets) (b) Find all the Nash equilibria of the normal form game from part (a)
Tyler and Pam 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 Tyler and Pam will receive given their choices. Use the table to answer the question. What will be the dominant strategy outcome for Tyler and Pam? They both get 10 years. Pam gets 5 years, and Tyler gets 15 years. O They both get 12 years. O Tyler gets 5 years, and Pam gets 15 years. Tyler Stay silent Confess Stay silent Pam gets 10 years Tyler gets 10 years Pam gets 15 years Pam Tyler gets 5 years Confess Pam gets 5 years Tyler gets 15 years Pam gets 12 years Tyler gets 12 years
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.
Consider a simultaneous move game with two players. Player 1 has three possible actions (A, B, or C) and Player 2 has two possible actions (D or E.) In the payoff matrix below, each cell contains the payoff for Player 1 followed by the payoff for Player 2. Identify any dominated strategies in this game. If there are none, state this clearly.

Hello, please help me to solve this Game Theory question. Thanks in advance! Hobby hunter Jack decides what to do the next weekend. He can either stay at home and watch movies (Movies), or call his friend Katherine to go hunting (Hunt). If he stays in, both Jack and Katherine get a payoff of 2. If he decides to hunt, he knows the situation with his friend will resemble a classic stag hunt game with simultaneous moves: Hunting a stag is better than hunting a rabbit, but it only works if they cooperate. The hunting subgame is captured as: Katherine Stag Rabbit Jack Stag 3 , 3 0 , 1 Rabbit 1 , 0 1 , 1 Draw the entire game as an extensive form (game tree), capturing both Jack’s initial decision (M or H) and the subsequent hunting game. Make sure to correctly label all players, actions, and information sets.
Consider the following static, single-shot game played between two cyclists, Chico and Loco, who find themselves riding towards each other down a narrow lane. Chico wants to pass by safely, and he can only do this by cycling on the opposite side of the lane to Loco. So, he has two options: to cycle on the Right of the lane, or to cycle on the Left. Loco meanwhile is having a bad day and wants to crash into Chico, and the way he can achieve this is by cycling on the same side of the lane as Chico. So again, he has two options: to cycle on the Right of the lane, or to cycle on the Left. He does not care at all about hurting himself if they collide. (c) By constructing the best response lines of both players, identify all Nash equilibrium outcomes in the above game i.e., in pure and mixed strategies. (d) Provide an intuitive interpretation of the equilibrium outcome(s) identified in part (c) above.
Keith and Blake play a simultaneous one-shot game. Keith chooses between Top and Bottom, whereas Blake chooses between left and right. Payoffs are given by (Keith's payoffs are listed first and Blake's payoffs second): Top+left: 3,-6. Top+right:0,-7 Bottom+left:4,0. Bottom+right:-2,6. In a mixed strategy equilibria, Keith will play Top with what probability? 1. 6/7 2. 1/4 3. 1/2 4. 1/7 5. 0 6. 3/4
Consider the 2-player, zero-sum game "Rock, Paper, Scissors". Each player chooses one of 3 strategies: rock, paper, or scissors. Then, both players reveal their choices. The outcome is determined as follows. If both players choose the same strategy, neither player wins or loses anything. Otherwise: • "paper covers rock": if one player chooses paper and the other chooses rock, the player who chose paper wins and is paid 1 by the other player. "scissors cut paper": if one player chooses scissors and the other chooses paper, the player who chose scissors wins and is paid 1 by the other player. "rock breaks scissors": if one player chooses rock and the other player chooses scissors, the player who chose rock wins and is paid 1 by the other player. We can write the payoff matrix for this game as follows: rock paper scissors rock 0 -1 1 paper 1 0 scissors -1 1 -1 0 2. Suppose now we alter the game so that whenever Colin chooses "paper" the loser pays the winner 3 instead of 1: rock paper…
Table 17-9 Nadia and Maddie are two college roommates who both prefer a clean common space in their dorm room, but neither enjoys cleaning. The roommates must each make a decision to either clean or not clean the dorm room's common space. The following table shows the payoffs for this situation, where the higher a player's payoff number, the better off that player is. Nadia Refer to Table 17-9. If Maddie chooses not to clean, then Nadia will O a. not clean, and Nadia's payoff will be 10. O b. clean, and Nadia's payoff will be 7. O c. not clean, and Nadia's payoff will be 30. O d. clean, and Nadia's payoff will be 50. Clean Don't Clean Clean Maddie = 30 Nadia = 30 Maddie = 7 Nadia = 50 Maddie Don't Clean Maddie = 50 Nadia = 7 Maddie = 10 Nadia = 10
