Game theory: Consider a collective action game with thirty individuals (N = 30). When the number of participants in the joint project is n, each individual, including shirkers, receives a benefit of B(n) = 18n and each participant incurs a cost of C(n) = 32 – 2n. Please answer the questions I am asking! 1. Find all of the Nash equilibria, both stable and unstable ones. 2. Find the socially optimal outcome. 3. Check if any of the Nash equilibria is socially optimal. Explain your answer.

1. Consider the following N-player game. Each agent has a choice of strategy A or B. The state variable is x, the proportion of agents choosing strategy A. For every agent, the utility of choosing strategy A is U(A) = 10 +2x and the utility of choosing strategy B is U(B) = 10+3x. What is the Nash equilibrium to this game? Explain.

Within a voluntary contribution game, the Nash equilibrium level of contribution is zero, but in experiments, it is often possible to sustain positive levels of contribution for a long period. How might we best explain this? A) Participants are altruistic, and so value the payoff which other participants receive, benefiting (indirectly) from making a contribution. B) Participants believe that if they make a contribution, then other participants will be more likely to make a contribution. C) Participants in experiments believe that they have to make contributions in order to receive any payoff from their participation. D) Participants have experience of working in situations in which cooperation can be sustained for mutual benefit and so have internalised a social norm of cooperation
