Why is the multiplicity of equilibria in the standart Nash demand game in Nash (1953, ECMA) a problem for Nash’s purposes? How does he deal with this problem in Nash (1953)? Explain.
Find the SPNE for the centipede game. Centipede game: Two players, 1 and 2, take turns choosing one of two actions each time, continue or stop. They both start with $1 in their respective piles, and each time i says continue, $1 is taken away from his pile, and $2 are added to the other player's pile. The game automatically stops when both players have $100 in their respective piles.
1. Consider the following N-player game. Each agent has a choice of strategy A or B. The state variable is x, the proportion of agents choosing strategy A. For every agent, the utility of choosing strategy A is U(A) = 10 +2x and the utility of choosing strategy B is U(B) = 10+3x. What is the Nash equilibrium to this game? Explain.
Question 2. Two students are working together to submit their Microeconomics mid-semester group coursework. Each student i can put in the effort x; that costs c(x;), in which x; E [0, 1]. This gives each student the utility of u(x1, x2). Formu- late this situation as a strategic game.
Suppose Antonio and Trinity are playing a game that requires both to simultaneously choose an action: Up or Down. The payoff matrix that follows shows the earnings of each person as a function of both of their choices. For example, the upper-right cell shows that if Antonio chooses Up and Trinity chooses Down, Antonio will receive a payoff of 7 and Trinity will receive a payoff of 5. Trinity Up Down Up 4,8 7,5 Antonio Down 3,2 5,6 In this game, the only dominant strategy is for to choose The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Antonio chooses, and Trinity chooses Grade It Now Save & Continue Continue without saving @ 2 F2 #3 80 Q F3 MacBook Air 44 F7 Dll F8 44 F10 74 $ 4 05 Λ & % 5 6 7 8 * 0 Q W E R T Y U 1 A N S X 9 0 -O O D F G H J K L on را H command C > B N M Λ - - P [ H Λ command opti
In 'the dictator' game, one player (the dictator) chooses how to divide a pot of $10 between herself and another player (the recipient). The recipient does not have an opportunity to reject the proposed distribution. As such, if the dictator only cares about how much money she makes, she should keep all $10 for herself and give the recipient nothing. However, when economists conduct experiments with the dictator game, they find that dictators often offer strictly positive amounts to the recipients. Are dictators behaving irrationally in these experiments? Whether you think they are or not, your response should try to provide an explanation for the behavior.

“To be or not to be, that is the question.” Imagine that in answering this question Hamlet had the following data to consider. Hamlet must choose either “To Be” or “Not to Be.” If Hamlet chooses “To Be” then his enemy the King will make a decision to either “Kill” Hamlet or let him “Live.” If Hamlet is killed by the King his payoff in this game is 200 since he will have been killed by the King who is his uncle and who also killed Hamlet’s father, the King’s brother, who was the prior king. If the King decides to let Hamlet Live then Hamlet will be able to avenge his father’s death and his payoff will be +300. Hamlet also considers suicide an option but given the uncertainty of the afterlife if he chooses not to be then his payoff is +100 since his doesn’t what the afterlife holds for one who kills himself. Draw the complete game tree for this situation. Be sure to accurately label the tree and include the payoffs. Assume Hamlet will choose the course of action that offers the highest…
You suspect that you are a price leader in the market. Moreover, you are considering expanding your operations. H.R. Shovenstuff will observe your moves and then follow, but he is more secretive so you will not know whether to price high or low after his pricing decision has been made. Using the following game tree, solve for the Nash equilibrium. High Price Shovenstuff High Price Low Price You High Price (2,1) (6,2) Invest Low Price Invest, High Price, High Price O Invest, Low Price, High Price Invest, Low Price, Low Price O Don't Invest, High Price, High Price Don't Invest, Low Price, High Price LOW Price (2,4) You High Price (4,4) Don't Invest High Price Low Price Shovenstuff Low Price You High Price (8,1) (2.6) Low Price (2,1)
Consider two scientists: Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker. Each decides whether to discover new ideas or instead steal the other’s ideas. Each can discover $500 worth of ideas, but laboratory materials cost $300 if one chooses to attempt to discover ideas. It costs $100 to steal ideas instead (and then sell them as your own). Note that if both steal, they both end up with nothing (no costs either). Fill in the payoff matrix below. Put Bunsen's payoffs first and Beaker's second.
