Consider a Prisoners' Dilemma game involving two players, N = {1,2}, each of whom may choose either to co-operate (C) or to defect (D). The payoffs this game are illustrated in the below table. Player 1 receives the first listed payoff in each cell while player 2 receives the second listed payoff in each cell. 2 с 3,3 4,0 D 0,4 1, 1 a. Solve for the pure strategy Nash equilibrium of this static game. Are the players able to co-operate with one another? Explain why or why not. Suppose now that the above game is repeated infinitely many times and let 8 > 0 denote the common discount factor between periods. Suppose that the two players make the following agreement: "Play C in every period. If D is ever played, play D in every period thereafter." b. Explain how the one-deviation principle can be used to check whether the above agreement represents a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium of the infinitely repeated game. c. Use the method described in part b. of this question to calculate the…

Consider the following three-stage duopoly game. There are two firms in the market: Firm 1 and Firm 2. In the first stage, a first-price auction is conducted to determine the order of moves. The firm with the highest bid (first mover) pays a cost equivalent to its bid and chooses its action in the second stage. After observing this action, the other firm (second mover) chooses its action in the third stage. When there is a tie in the first stage (both firms submit the same bid), a coin is tossed to determine the winner, and only the winner pays its bid. Each firm has the following three possible actions: small (expansion), medium (expansion) and large (expansion), and the payoffs they obtain in the market (not the final payoffs yet) are shown below: The second mover Small Medium Large 16, 12 Medium 18, 8 19, 7 13, 10 14, 11 Small 9, 9 10, 13 12, 10 The first mover Large 14, 12 The final payoff is equivalent to the payoff obtained in the market minus the cost (if any) paid in auction.…
Consider a simultaneous move game with two players. Player 1 has three possible actions (A, B, or C) and Player 2 has two possible actions (D or E.) In the payoff matrix below, each cell contains the payoff for Player 1 followed by the payoff for Player 2. Identify any pure strategy Nash Equilibria in this game. If there are none, state this clearly.
