Every year, management and labor renegotiate a new employment contract by sending their proposals to an arbitrator, who chooses the best proposal (effectively giving one side or the other $3 million). Each side can choose to hire, or not hire, an expensive labor lawyer (at a cost of $100,000) who is effective at preparing the proposal in the best light. If neither hires a lawyer or if both hire lawyers, each side can expect to win about half the time. If only one side hires a lawyer, it can expect to win four fifths, or 0.8, of the time.

Consider the two-round bargaining game. The minimum the seller will sell his home for 188,000 and the maximum the buyer is willing to pay is $200,000. Both players know these two amounts and are bargaining over the difference (M=$1200). Assume the disagreement values are zero for both players. Player 1 moves first by making a proposal and Player 2 can accept and reject. If player 2 rejects Player’s 1 proposal, then Player 2 gets to make a proposal, which Player 1 can reject and accept. The game is then over. Suppose the both players discount the future income at the rate d=0.2 per period. That is, $0.20 now is equivalent to $1,00 received next round. Find the equilibrium for this 2-round game. a) Draw the game tree b) What is the sale price of home? c)Which player gets the larger share of M?
Three firms share a market. The demand function is P(q1, 92, 93) = 10 – q1 – 92 – 93, where q; is the output of firm i, Player i. The marginal cost per unit for each firm is zero. Suppose firm 1 is a market leader, and that firm 2, and firm 3 choose q2 and q3 simultaneously after observing q1 Find the SPE of this game. How much is produced by firm 2? Numerical answer How much is produced by firm 1, 2, and 3?
Every year, management and labor renegotiate a new employment contract by sending their proposals to an arbitrator, who chooses the best proposal (effectively giving one side or the other $2 million). Each side can choose to hire, or not hire, an expensive labor lawyer (at a cost of $300,000) who is effective at preparing the proposal in the best light. If neither hires a lawyer or if both hire lawyers, each side can expect to win about half the time. If only one side hires a lawyer, it can expect to win four fifths, or 0.8, of the time. Use the given information to fill in the expected payoff, in dollars, for each cell in the matrix.

Suppose that two corporations, Analytica and Bobmetrics, are negotiating the share of profit from a time sensitive joint project. The total profit generated by the project is £10 million. However, every day that the deal is delayed reduces the value of the total profit by £1 million. The way the negotiation is set up is the following: in the first day, Analytica’s lawyers propose a split of the profits, and Bobmetrics’ lawyers can agree, or they can discuss it some more and make their own offer on the second day. After that the two teams alternate. Analytica gets to make proposals on days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, while Bobmetrics makes proposals on days 2, 4, 6, 8 an 10. On day 11, the profit from the joint project becomes 0. The negotiations stop when either company accepts the proposal of the other, or on day 11. Find the subgame perfect Nash equilibria of this dynamic negotiation game. What happens when the loss of value is slower or faster? What conclusions can you draw? Briefly explain…
Janeek and Raj are the only two growers who provide organically grown com to a local grocery store. They know that if they cooperated and produced less com, they could raise the price of the corn. If they work independently, they will each earn $100. If they decide to work together and both lower their output, they can each earn $150. if one person lowers output and the other does not, the person who lowers output will earn $0 and the other person will capture the entire market and will earn $200. Reference the game illustrated below where the first payout in each cell is for Janeek and the second is for Raj.

Two construction companies are lobbying to obtain a share of work on repaving city streets. The share of the project going to each firm depends on money contributions to the mayor’s reelection fund. The project has value V in total. The mayor is somewhat biased in favor of firm 1, which is run by his niece. If firm 1 contributes x1 and firm 2 contributes x2, with at least one contribution strictly larger than zero, then the shares of the project going to firms 1 and 2 are s1 and s2, respectively, where (see picture)

Mike and Sophie are splitting up and need to decide who will get the car they purchased together. Using the method of sealed bids, Mike bids $5,000 and Sophie bids $4,500 for the car. Since Mike's bid is higher, he gets the car, and has to compensate Sophie with cash. How much will he have to pay Sophie in order to keep the division fair?
Player 1 and player 2 are playing a simultaneous-move one-shot game, where player 1 can move "up" or "down" and player 2 can move "left" or "right" The payoffs for the game are shown in the payoff matrix. The first number of each cell represents player 1's payoff, and the second number is player 2's. Use the matrix to answer the questions below. Player 1 2nd attempt Part 1 Part 2 Which of the following outcomes is a pure strategy Nash equilibrium of this game? P = (1-P) = Up Down Part 3 9= Left -16, -18 -20,7 Choose one or more: A. There is no pure strategy Nash equilibrium in this game. OB. Player 1 plays up; player 2 plays left. OC. Player 1 plays up; player 2 plays right. □ D. Player 1 plays down; player 2 plays left. O E.
