This is a two-player, simultaneous one-move game represented as a game table (normal form). What is the pure strategy Nash equilibrium outcome if there is one? Is this a socially optimal outcome? If not, which outcome is preferred?
Consider the attached extensive-form game tree, where player 1 moves first, then player 2. The top payoff accrues to player 1, the bottom payoff to player 2. (a) Draw the strategic form for this extensive form game.(b) Find all of the Nash equilibria, including any mixed.(c) Which of these Nash equilibria do you think would be actually played? Why?
Consider the following Guessing Game. There are n = 10 players simultaneously choosing a number in {1, 2, 3}.

John and Daniel greatly enjoy each other's company but have different tastes regarding the best form of entertainment. John prefers the lowbrow entertainment of professional wrestling that disgusts Daniel. Meanwhile, Daniel likes highbrow opera, which bores John. However, each finds it preferable to spend the evening together rather than disagree about what to do and end up staying home angry. This interaction is modeled in the normal-form game below: Evening Entertainment John Wrestling Opera 1st attempt Daniel Wrestling 36.00, 12.00 0,0 Opera 0,0 6.00, 18.00 Identify any pure strategy equilibria of this game. Choose one or more: OA. (wrestling, wrestling) B. (wrestling, opera) OC. (opera, wrestling) OD. (opera, opera) O E. There are no pure strategy equilibria. See Hint
Consider that there is one auctioneer who would like to sell one commodity and there are 2 individuals, 1 and 2. The auctioneer will apply the following tie-breaking rule: If there are multiple bidders who announce the highest bid, then select the bidder with the smallest index will be picked up as the winner. (For instance, let b(i) = b(j) . Then, i is the winner if and only if i < j.) Let each individual i's private value of the commodity, v(i), is given as: v(1) = $1600; v(2) = $2100. Considering a first-price auction, specify the set of Nash equilibria in this game.
Suppose that Alex and Bob complete the project sequentially. Assume that Alex decides his effort level and starts the project first, and then Bob decides his effort level and finishes the project. Present the extensive-form representation of the game (i.e., draw a decision tree which is also referred as the game tree). What is your prediction regarding the outcome of the game? Explain your prediction.
Find the SPNE for the centipede game. Centipede game: Two players, 1 and 2, take turns choosing one of two actions each time, continue or stop. They both start with $1 in their respective piles, and each time i says continue, $1 is taken away from his pile, and $2 are added to the other player's pile. The game automatically stops when both players have $100 in their respective piles.
Are the following true or false (justify answer: just T or F will not suffice): A) In a sequential game, the leader always receives a higher payoff due to his/her knowledge of the rationality of the second player. B) Games of complete information are a sub-type of games of perfect information. C) If a game with a more than one unique Nash Equilibrium is played finitely many times, the only type of sub-game perfect equilibriums is some sequence of Nash equilibriums played at every stage.
Thelma and Louise are competitors in a local beer market and each is trying to decide if it is worthwhile to advertise. If both of them advertise, each will earn a profit of $2000. If neither of them advertises, each will earn a profit of $5000. If one advertises and the other doesn't, then the one who advertises will earn a profit of $7500 and the other will earn a profit of $1000. To make the most money, what should Thelma do and how much profit will she earn? Select one: a. she should advertise, and she will earn $7500 b. she should do whatever Louise does, and will earn either $2000 or $5000 C. she should not advertise, and she will earn $5000 d. she should advertise, and she will earn $2000 Next page
Extend the Cournot model discussed in class to two firms with setup costs. Firm 2 chooses to produce q; at cost cq; where c> 0. The set up costs are denoted by K₁ < K2 respectively for firm 1 and 2. The selling price is P(Q) = (a - bQ) where Q = 91 + 92. What are the optimal production quantities for each firm? (Hint: A firm has the option of not producing at all with a cost of zero).
Define a new game as a modified version of the game in Problem 1, which we will call the Matching Two Pennies game: each player choose heads (H) or tails (T) for two pennies. In this game, Player 1 wins if both coins show the same combination of heads and tails, while Player 2 wins if they do not. (a) Write the strategy sets S1 and S2 for this game. (b) Give the payoffs for each player in this Matching Two Pennies game, by defining T;(81, 82) for each player and for each strategy pair, either as a list or in matrix form.
