(d) Suppose the game is repeated indefinitely, and each player discounts his/her payoff with a discount factor & € (0,1). Find a subgame perfect equilibrium in which (H,T) and (L,T) are played alternately on the equilibrium path. Compute the discount factor 8 needed for this equilibrium. (e) Suppose the game is repeated indefinitely. Player 1 (the row player) discounts her payoff with a discount factor d₁ € (0,1). Player 2 discounts his payoff with a discount factor d₂ = 0. That is, in any given period, player 2 only cares about his payoff in that period. Can you find a subgame perfect equilibrium in which (H,T) is played in every period on the equilibrium path. If no, explain. If yes, compute the discount factor d₁ needed for this equilibrium.

Consider the following game - one card is dealt to player 1 ( the sender) from a standard deck of playing cards. The card may either be red (heart or diamond) or black (spades or clubs). Player 1 observes her card, but player 2 (the receiver) does not - Player 1 decides to Play (P) or Not Play (N). If player 1 chooses not to play, then the game ends and the player receives -1 and player 2 receives 1. - If player 1 chooses to play, then player 2 observes this decision (but not the card) and chooses to Continue (C) or Quit (Q). If player 2 chooses Q, player 1 earns a payoff of 1 and player 2 a payoff of -1 regardless of player 1's card - If player 2 chooses continue, player 1 reveals her card. If the card is red, player 1 receives a payoff of 3 and player 2 a payoff of -3. If the card is black, player 1 receives a payoff of 2 and player 2 a payoff of -1 a. Draw the extensive form game b.

2- Consider the following game. Player 2 Player 1 U 12, 2 | 3, 9 5, 8 4, 2 D (a) Find all the Nash equilibria, pure and mixed. (b) Suppose that the payoff of the column player u:(D, L) is reduced from 8 to 6, but all other payoffs remain the same. Again, find all the pure- and mixed-strategy Nash equilibria. (c) Compare the mixed-strategy equilibria in parts (a) and (b). Did this worsening in one of player 2's payoffs change player 2's equilibrium mixed strategy? Did it change player l's? Give some intuition.
Player 1 Cooperate (C) Defect (D) If the game has a dominant strategy, what is it? There is none. If the game has a Nash equilibrium in pure strategies, what is it? There is none. Cooperate (C) 3,3 8,0 Cooperate (C) is a dominant strategy for both players. Defect (D) is a dominant strategy for both players. Cooperate (C) is a dominant strategy for 1, and Defect (D) is a dominant strategy for 2. C, C is the only Nash equilibrium. D, D is the only Nash equilibrium. C, C and D, D are both Nash equilibria. Player 2 Defect (D) 0,8 1,1

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)
Problem 2. Consider the partnership-game we discussed in Lecture 3 (pages 81-87 of the textbook). Now change the setup of the game so that player 1 chooses x = [0, 4], and after observing the choice of x, player 2 chooses y ≤ [0, 4]. The payoffs are the same as before. (a) Find all SPNE (subgame perfect Nash equilibria) in pure strategies. (b) Can you find a Nash equilibrium, with player 1 choosing x = 1, that is not subgame perfect? Explain.
Suppose that, in an ultimatum game, the proposer may not propose less than $1 nor fractional amounts, and therefore must propose $1, $2, …, or $10 (see image attached below). The responder must Accept (A) or Reject (R). Suppose, first, that this game is played by two egoists, for whom u(x,y)=x. Find all subgame-perfect equilibria in this game. Suppose, second, that this game is played by two altruists, for whom u(x,y) = ⅔(x)1/2 + ⅓(y)1/2. Find all subgame-perfect equilibria in this game.
Finding Nash Equilibria Consider the following two player, normal form game: Player 1 Player 2 C L (2,1) U M (-2,-2) D R (2, -1) (1,2) (-1, 1) (0,0) (3,1) (0,0) (-1,-1) Find all pure and mixed strategy Nash equilibria. Calculate each player's expected payoffs at each equilibrium.
Which of the following best describes Nash equilibrium? a) A situation where one player dominates the others b) A situation where each player's strategy is optimal given the strategies of the others c) A situation where all players cooperate perfectly d) A situation where players change strategies constantly
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.
