**Problem Statement:** Find the optimum strategies of player A and player B and the value of the game. **Payoff Matrix:** The table represents the payoff matrix for a two-player zero-sum game where Player A has three strategies (I, II, III) and Player B has four strategies (1, 2, 3, 4). | | **Player B** | | | | |----------|--------------|-----|-----|-----| | | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | | **Player A** | | | | | | I | 2 | 3 | 11 | 8 | | II | 7 | 5 | 2 | 7 | | III | 6 | 4 | -4 | 9 | - **Rows** represent the strategies of Player A. - **Columns** represent the strategies of Player B. - Each cell in the matrix shows the payoff to Player A for the corresponding strategies of Players A and B. The goal is to determine the optimal strategies for both players and the value of the game, which is the expected payoff when both players employ their optimal strategies.

5) Mixed strategy Nash equilibrium Consider a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium of the following coordination game: Player 2 Player 1 A B a 5.5 6.-2 b -2,6 1,1 a) In the above game, explain in words what condition player 1's probability p of playing strategy A must satisfy to induce player 2 to mix strategies between a and b in equilibrium. b) Solve for the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium where player 1 chooses A with probability P and player 2 chooses a with probability p, for 0 < p, P < 1.

Jack and Jill are the only two suppliers of water in their village. They go up the hill once a day and come back carrying one bucket of water each (each has one small and one large bucket). They can each choose the big bucket that brings 40 gallons of water, or the small bucket that brings 15 gallons of water. If both use the big buckets (40-gallon buckets): they bring down a total of 80 gallons of water (total production) that they sell to the villagers; they equally split the market. They each make $1,400 in profit. If both use the small buckets (15-gallons buckets): they produce a total of 30 gallons of water that they sell to the villagers, once again they equally split the market. They each make $1,650 profit. If one uses the big bucket and the other uses the small bucket (for a total production of 55 gallons), then: the one with small bucket gets $1,200 profit the one with the big bucket gets $2,000 profit Jack is the row 1. Draw the payoff matrix (1 player and Jill is the column…
26. Consider the following game. There are ten churches in town: nine are Catholic and one is Eastern Orthodox. All churches conduct their services at 10am on Sunday morning. You and your friend, without communication, agree to meet at a church service. If you fail to meet at the same church, then you are sad. What is this game's focal point? Remember that you cannot communicate about this. (A) You meet at any of the Catholic churches. (B) You meet at any of the churches – denomination does not matter. (C) You meet at the Orthodox church. (D) There is no focal point. 27. Which of the following is the best example of Skin in the Game? (A) A politician retires to serve on the board of governors of a prestigious think tank.

4. Suppose that Anne and Bob must simultaneously name a number in the set {1,2, ..., 10}. If they name the same number, the each get a payoff of 1; if they name different num- bers, they each get a payoff of 0. (a) Find all (pure and mixed strategy) Nash equilibria of this game. (b) How many are there? Explain why. (Hint: there are a lot of them!)
7 In bargaining theory, sometimes an individual’s patience level can affect his or her bargaining power. Consider a simple repeated game in which Person 1 makes an offer to purchase a good that Person 2 is selling; Person 2 can either accept this offer or reject it and make a counteroffer. This game continues until one player accepts the other’s offer. Explain how incorporating the rate of time preference (ββ) into such a repeated game might alter the outcome.
