Question

Static Bayesian Games] We consider a games with 2 players. Player 1 has only a
single type; however, Player 2 can have two types I and D, each with probability 50%. Both
players have two actions available to them. The game has the following payoffs (P1 is the row
player, P2 the column player):

 

- if P2 is of type 1:
a₁
a2
- if P2 is of type D:
a1
a2
b₁
2,1
0,0
b₁
2,0
0,1
b₂
0,0
1,2
b₂
0,2
1,0

a. Suppose Player 2 is of type I. What is Player 2's best response to Player 1 playing
a1? To player 1 playing a2?
b. Suppose Player 2 is of type D. What is Player 2's best response to Player 1 playing
a1? To player 1 playing a2?
c. What is Player 1's best response to Player 2 playing? (1 -> b1, D -> b2)? (I -> b2, D
-> b1)?
d. Using your answers to a, b, and c, find the (pure strategy) Bayesian Nash
Equilibrium of this game.
