Management and a labor union are bargaining over how much of a $50 surplus to give to the union. The $50 is divisible up to one cent. The players have one shot to reach an agreement. Management has the ability to announce what it wants first, and then the labor union can accept or reject the offer. Both players get zero if the total amounts asked for exceed $50. Which of the following is a Nash equilibrium? Management requests $25 and the labor union accepts $10. Management requests $35 and the labor union accepts $10. Management requests $20 and the labor union accepts $20. Management requests $50 and the labor union accepts $0.

You have just played rock, paper, scissors with your friend. You chose scissors and he chose paper, so you won. Is this a Nash equilibrium? Explain why or why not.
Player 1 is an Internet service provider and Player 2 is a potential customer. They consider entering into a contract of service for a period of time. The provider decides between two levels of service: High or Low. The potential customer decides whether to Buy or Not Buy. When the potential customer calls customer service, the Internet service provider makes the initial offer.The potential customer then decides whether to Buy or Not Buy. Let’s say that the interaction ends after the potential customer makes their decision. a. Set up the extensive form according to the following outcomes: i. If the Internet service provider offers Low and the potential customer doesn’t buy, they both make off with 1. ii. If the Internet service provider offers Low and the potential customer buys, the Internet service provider makes off with 3, and the customer receives 0. iii. If the Internet service provider offers High and the potential customer doesn’t buy, the Internet service provider makes off…
The above table shows the payoffs that either Darrin or Rob receive depending on whether they choose a high or a low price strategy. Who has a dominant strategy? The above table shows the payoffs that either Darrin or Rob receive depending on whether they choose a high or a low price strategy. The predicted outcome is
A Nash equilibrium ‍is where one player maximizes his/her payoff and the other doesn’t ‍is where each player maximizes his/her own payoff given the action of the other player ‍is where both players are maximizing their total payoff ‍is a unique prediction of the likely outcome of a game
All players have dominant strategies.true or false
The Dean of Columbia College is looking for a tenured professor to teach in the Core Curriculum. Monetary incentives are needed to get someone interested, but how much? The Dean decides to use an auction to do the job. Two professors, equally qualified, applied for the position. The two professors are invited to covertly submit their bids to the Dean. The Dean will give the position to the professor who submits the lower bid (if there is a tie, the job is assigned randomly). The professor who gets the job will be paid his/her own bid. Each professors reservation value for teaching the course is his/her private information. It is common knowledge that their reservation values are independently and uniformly distributed over [0; 100]: So if a professor with a reservation value of 60 wins with a bid of 50, his payoff is 60 50 = 10: (a) Find a Bayesian Nash equilibrium of the bidding game. (b) Suppose the two professorsíreservation values are 60 and 70, respec- tively. What are…

Consider the following story: Charlie finds two fifty-pence pieces on the floor. His friend Dylan is standing next to him when he finds them. Chris can offer Dylan nothing at all, one of the fifty-pence pieces, or both. Dylan observes the offer made by Charlie, and can either accept the offer (in which case they each receive the split specified by Charlie) or reject the offer.If he rejects the offer, each player gets nothing at all (because Charlie is embarassed and throws the moneyaway).(a) Formulate this interaction as an extensive-form game. To keep things simple, players’ payoff is equal to their monetary gain.(b) List all histories of the game. Split these into terminal and non-terminal histories.(c) What are the strategies available to Charlie? What are the strategies available to Dylan? Draw the strategic-form game.(d) Find the pure-strategy Nash equilibria of this game.(e) What do you think will happen?
The following represents the potential outcomes of your first salary negotiation after graduation: Assuming this is a sequential move game with the employer moving first, indicate the most likely outcome. Does the ability to move first give the employer an advantage? If so, how? As the employee, is there anything you could do to realize a higher payoff?
Present an example of a prisoner’s dilemma in your own life. Describe the “cooperative” action for each player that involves trusting the other in some sense. Explain why mutual cooperation will lead to an outcome that is preferred to mutual defection. Describe why there is an incentive for each to defect, or not cooperate, or not be trustworthy. Discuss what might be done to promote mutual cooperation, or what is done.
Consider a game where player A moves first, choosing between Left and Right. Then, after observing player A’s choice, player B moves next choosing between Up and Down. Which of the following is true? This is a game where players A and B have the same number of strategies. Player A will get a higher payoff than player B as A moves first. This is game will only have one Nash equilibrium. This is a game of perfect information.
Consider the following scenarios in the Ultimatum game, viewed from the perspective of the Recipient. Assume that the Recipient is motivated by negative reciprocity and will gain $15 of value from rejecting an offer that is strictly less than 50 percent of the total amount to be divided between the two players by the Proposer. Assume that the Proposer can only make offers in increments of $1. If the pot is $30, what is the minimum offer that the Responder will accept? What percent of the pie is this amount? The minimum offer that will be accepted is S. which represents percent of the pie. If the pot is $100, what is the minimum offer that the Responder will accept? What percent of the pie is this amount? The minimum offer that will be accepted is S, which represents percent of the pie. (Round answers to 2 decimal places as needed)
