D (0, 0) The diagram shows the extensive form version of a strategic game between the two nationally dominant coffee sellers, Corporate Coffee and Jumbo Java, both of whom are considering opening coffee shops in a new town. The payoffs represent, in thousands per month, the profit (or loss) the firm will realize from its decision. What does this extensive form game indicate about the decision to open a new coffee shop?

4. Suppose in 1977 Honda and Toyota each have to decide whether to build an automobile plant in the North American market. The payoff matrix below shows Honda's payoff on the left, and Toyota's on the right. Is there a Nash equilibrium? If so, where, and how do you know?

3. The following is an interpretation of the rivalry between the United States (USA) and the Soviet Ünion (USSR) during the cold war. Each side has the choice of two strategies: Aggressive and Restrained. The payoff table is given as follows: USSR Restrained Aggressiveness Restrained 4,3 1,4 USA Aggressiveness 3,1 2,2 a) Consider this game when the two countries move simultaneously. Find all pure strategy Nash equilibria. b) Next consider three alternative ways in which the game could be played with sequential moves: (i) The USA moves first and the USSR moves second. (i) the USSR moves first and the USA moves second. (i) The USSR moves first, and the USA moves second, but the USSR has a further move after the USA moves. For each case, draw the game tree and find the subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium. c) What are the key strategic issues (commitment, credibility and so on) for the two countries. (Note: Be concise. Your answer should not exceed 300 words].

Two rival companies competing in the same market need to decide their plans for future expansion of their stores.

1. What do we mean by market power in economics? What are some ways firms can attain market power? How can we, as economists, know when a firm has "too much" market power? Give an example of a firm you think has a lot of market power.2. Chapter 3 is all about game theory. Imagine you are in charge of pricing at a firm that has 20% market share in an industry where the leading firm has 50% market share. Imagine that the leader increases prices on their products. How do you think you would react? Why?
