For the above sequential game, both Albus and Minerva make moves in two possible situations. A number in purple indicates which node of the two for each of Albus and Minerva. Albus' strategy NS indicates a strategy of taking action N at node 1 and action 5 at node 4. Minerva's strategy ab indicates a strategy of taking action a at node 2 and action b at node 3. Adopt this format of writing strategies, find the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium. Fill in the blanks: The subgame perfect Nash equilibrium of this game is "Albus". Minvera"

Economics Consider two firms that are choosing the price of competing products. The choices are contained in the payoff table. Each firm can raise price, lower price, or maintain their price. Suppose the game is played once each period forever. If both players play the strategy "always lower price" is this a Nash equilibrium? Let b = discount rate, 0 < b <1. Raise price Maintain price Lower price Firm B Raise price Maintain price Lower price 6. 4 8. 8 1.1 5, 5 4, 6 7.2 1.1 3.3 Firm A 2.7 No. because it is dominated by raising the price. No, because it is dominated by both firms raising the price. No, because it is dominated by maintaining the price. Yes.
We can see from the payoff matrix that there are no pure strategy Nash equilibrium in this game because at least one firm would always have an incentive to change its behavior. From Nash's theorem, we know there must be at least one Nash equilibrium so there must be a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium for this game. Find the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium by first deleting all dominated strategies in the game What's the expected payoff to Firm 1 in the equilibrium?
Refer to the accompanying payoff matrix. Which of the following is a Nash equilibrium? Company A Strategy 1 Strategy 2 Strategy 1 Company A's Profit: $8 million Company B's Profit: $9 million Company B Company A's Profit: $10 million Company B's Profit: $8 million None of the above, Strategy 2 Company B's Profit: $8 million Company A's Profit: $7 million Company B's Profit: $7 million Company A's Profit: $8 million Company A chooses Strategy 1 and Company B chooses Strategy 1. Company A chooses Strategy 2 and Company B chooses Strategy 2. Company A chooses Strategy 1 and Company B chooses Strategy 2. Company A chooses Strategy 2 and Company B chooses Strategy 1.
Imagine that there are two snowboard manufacturers (FatSki and WideBoard) in the market. Each firm can either produce ten or twenty snowboards per day. The table below (see attached) shows the profit per snowboard for each firm that will result given the joint production decisions of these two firms. Draw the game payoff matrix for this situation. Does either player have a dominant strategy? If so, what is it? What is the Nash equilibrium solution and how many boards should each player produce each day? Since FatSki and WideBoard must play this game repeatedly (i.e. make production decisions every day), what strategy would you advise them to play in order to maximize their payoff over the long term?

Question 3: Two cars roar at each other down the middle of a country road. Each driver has two possible actions: to Swerve or Not Swerve. Consider the possible outcomes and assign payoffs accordingly. Explain your reasoning. Then produce a game matrix, as we did in class. Identify any pure strategy Nash equilibrium points.
Consider the following Guessing Game. There are n = 10 players simultaneously choosing a number in {1, 2, 3}. The winners are those closest to 1/2 the average guess (they evenly split the prize between the winners if there is more than one). Find the set of rationalizable strategy profiles. Justify your answer. please no handwriting and this course about game theory (topic Rationalizability) answer with all steps, please

a. b. Each firm has four alternative strategies, and a certain profit/payoff is associated with each strategy. The numbers in the payoff matrix denote firm A's profit (in thousands of dollars). The total amount of profit that can be earned by the two firms together is $20000. (This is called a "constant sum game.") Firm B's profit is therefore $20000 minus firm A's profit. What strategies will the two firms select? Is the game strictly determined? If so, how much does each firm gain? B's strategies A's strategies ↓ Increase Advertising Decrease Price Increase Price Alter Product Increase Advertising 0 11 8 11 Decrease Price 8 10 6 2 Increase Price 7 12 15 Alter Product 4 15 3 12 Suppose now that due to a change in consumer preferences, firm A's "Increase Price" strategy pays off better than before when firm B elects to "Decrease Price," that is, the payoff rises from 6 to 14. What strategies will the two firms now select? Is the game strictly determined? If so, how much does each firm…
Consider the two period Repeated Prisoner's Dilemma Game where each player is interested in the SUM of the payoffs she gets in each period. Players see the outcome after the play in each period. (The period payoffs are 10,5,1,0.) (i) Write out this game in its strategic form. (ii) Find all Nash equilibria and all Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibria.

Candie's Chocolates and Kara's Confections are competing candy stores. Both of them are thinking about opening a store in the town of Economicville. If Kara's opens a store in Economicville and Candie's determines that it is not profitable to also open a store, then Group of answer choices: a Nash equilibrium is not possible in this game. this is a zero-sum game. this is a simultaneous game. Kara's had a first-mover advantage in this game.
