Consider the following sequential game. Wally first chooses L or H. Having observed Wally's choice, Elizabeth chooses between A and F. The payoffs are as follows. If Wally chose L and Elizabeth chose A, the payoffs are 30 to Wally and 20 to Elizabeth. If Wally chose L and Elizabeth F, the payoffs are 40 to Wally and 10 and to Elizabeth. If Wally decides to opt for H and Elizabeth A, the payoffs are 10 and 2 to Wally and Elizabeth, respectively. Finally, if Wally opts for H and Elizabeth F, the payoffs are 35 toWally and 5 to Elizabeth. What is the outcome in the subgame perfect equilibrium of this game? (L,F)

Superstore (S) and Megastore (M) are two competing discount supermarkets. If neither store advertises, S makes $115 in profits and M makes $165. If both stores advertise, S makes $80 and M makes $95. If M advertises and S does not, they make $305 and $55 respectively. If S advertises and M does not, they make $285 and $65 respectively. Based on Game Theory, what will the two firms do? Hint: illustrate the Nash equilibrium to support your answer.
For various values of X(for player1 and player 2), find all Nash equilibria of the following game with von Neumann-Morgenstern preferences:
None
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.
Jane is interested in buying a car from a used car dealer. Her maximum willingness to pay for thecar is 12 ($12,000). Bo, the dealer, is willing to sell the car as long as he receives at least 9($9,000). What is the Nash bargaining solution to this game?
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)
Suppose that you are a manager. You are considering whether or not to monitor employees with the payoffs in the normal-form accompanying game. Worker Work Shirk Manager Monitor -1,1 1,-1 Don't Monitor 1,-1 -1,1 Which of the following pairs of strategies constitutes a Nash equilibrium? Multiple Choice Manager monitors and worker shirks. Manager does not monitor and worker works. Manager monitors and worker works. O None of the answers is correct.
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 pure strategy Nash Equilibria in this game. If there are none, state this clearly.
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.
