Question 1 Consider the following game. Player 1 has 3 actions (Top, middle,Bottom) and player 2 has three actions (Left, Middle, Right). Each player chooses their action simultaneously. The game is played only once. The first element of the payoff vector is player 1’s payoff. Note that one of the payoffs to player 2 has been omitted (denoted by x). A) Suppose that the value of x is such that player 2 has a strictly dominant strategy. Find the solution to the game. What solution concept did you use to solve the game? B) Suppose that the value of x is such the player 2 does NOT have a strictly dominant strategy. Find the solution to the game. What solution concept did you use to solve the game?
Two technology companies, Bapple and Hoogle, are interested in attracting more software engineers to work and are considering introducing a personal shopper for employees as a new perk. The following game depicts the strategic outcomes that result from the game. Increases in annual profits of the two growing technology companies are shown in the table below. Bapple Offer the new perk Do not offer the new perk A $80 million B $10 million C Hoogle $60 million D $30 million Offer the new perk Hoogle = $20 million Bapple = $30 million Hoogle = $60 million Bapple = $10 million Refer to the Table. If both companies follow a dominant strategy, Bapple's annual profit will grow by Use letters in alphabetical order to select options Do not offer the new perk Hoogle = $5 million Bapple = $80 million Hoogle = $40 million Bapple = $60 million
Suppose we have two ice cream sellers, Blue Cool Ice Cream and Red Mango Ice Cream, deciding where to locate along a 1 kilometer long linear beach. Beachgoers are uniformly spread out everywhere along the beach. They do not like walking, and they view the ice cream from the two sellers as homogenous goods. Because of this, they will always buy from the nearest seller. The sellers cannot choose their price, only the location. A strategy for a player in this game is a distance between 0m and 1000m, which represents where the player will locate. For example, a distance of 0m is a strategy. The payoffs are the percentages of the market that each seller captures (depending on their two strategies). For example, if Blue Cool chooses 0m and Red Mango chooses 1000m, their payoffs are 50% and 50%. If the two sellers locate at exactly the same spot, they share the market and get 50% each. Suppose each player can only choose from 5 locations: 0m, 250m, 500m, 750m, 1000m. Is playing 0m is a…
Suppose that Lionel Messi is negotiating a contract with FC Barcelona. Messi has an offer from Real Madrid for $20 million a year. If he signs with FC Barcelona, they will earn $90 million in revenue from the signing. FC Barcelona's next best option is to sign Cristiano Ronaldo. They would earn $70 million from signing Ronaldo and would pay him a contract of $10 million. Messi's bargaining power is w = 1/2. a) What is the negotiated salary between Messi and FC Barcelona under Nash Bargaining? What is Messi's surplus and what is FČ Barcelona's surplus? b) Due to an injury, FC Barcelona would only earn $50 million from signing Ronaldo but everything else remains the same. What is the negotiated salary between Messi and FC Barcelona under Nash Bargaining? What is Messi's surplus and what is FC Barcelona's surplus?
Consider the following situation: five individuals are participating in an auction for an old bicycle used by a famous cyclist. The table below provides the bidders' valuations of the cycle. The auctioneer starts the bid at an offer price far above the bidders' values and lowers the price in increments until one of the bidders accepts the offer. Bidder Value ($) Roberto 750 Claudia 700 Mario 650 Bradley 600 Michelle 550 What is the optimal strategy of each player in this case? Who will win the auction if each bidder places his or her optimal bid? If Claudia wins the auction, how much surplus will she earn?
We consider a game between two players, Alice and Bob. Alice chooses a number x and Bob chooses a number y. Alice's payoff is given by the following function:50 x + 79 x y - 89 x 2 . (the last entry is "x squared".)Suppose that Bob plays y = 23. Calculate Alice's best response (round your answer to 2 decimals).
Consider the following game - one card is dealt to player 1 ( the sender) from a standard deck of playing cards. The card may either be red (heart or diamond) or black (spades or clubs). Player 1 observes her card, but player 2 (the receiver) does not - Player 1 decides to Play (P) or Not Play (N). If player 1 chooses not to play, then the game ends and the player receives -1 and player 2 receives 1. - If player 1 chooses to play, then player 2 observes this decision (but not the card) and chooses to Continue (C) or Quit (Q). If player 2 chooses Q, player 1 earns a payoff of 1 and player 2 a payoff of -1 regardless of player 1's card - If player 2 chooses continue, player 1 reveals her card. If the card is red, player 1 receives a payoff of 3 and player 2 a payoff of -3. If the card is black, player 1 receives a payoff of 2 and player 2 a payoff of -1 a. Draw the extensive form game b.

Two rival companies competing in the same market need to decide their plans for future expansion of their stores. The Table below shows the possible outcomes of their mutually interdependent actions (payoffs are profits in £m) Giga Company Titanic Conglomerate No Change Refurbishment of existing stores Large Expansion No Change 30, 40 25, 35 15, 24 Refurbishment of existing stores 35, 30 28, 32 18, 33 Large Expansion 12, 22 18, 20 20, 25 The Nash equilibrium: (A) does not exist. (B) occurs when both firms choose Refurbishment of existing stores. (C) occurs when both firms choose Large Expansion. (D) occurs when both firms choose No Change.

Can you explain the "altruism and reciprocity" game theory, and provide an example? Is this the same as the "trust game?"
Suppose Antonio and Trinity are playing a game that requires both to simultaneously choose an action: Up or Down. The payoff matrix that follows shows the earnings of each person as a function of both of their choices. For example, the upper-right cell shows that if Antonio chooses Up and Trinity chooses Down, Antonio will receive a payoff of 7 and Trinity will receive a payoff of 5. Trinity Up Down Up 4,8 7,5 Antonio Down 3,2 5,6 In this game, the only dominant strategy is for to choose The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Antonio chooses, and Trinity chooses Grade It Now Save & Continue Continue without saving @ 2 F2 #3 80 Q F3 MacBook Air 44 F7 Dll F8 44 F10 74 $ 4 05 Λ & % 5 6 7 8 * 0 Q W E R T Y U 1 A N S X 9 0 -O O D F G H J K L on را H command C > B N M Λ - - P [ H Λ command opti
Brian and Matt own the only two bicycle repair shops in town. Each must choose between a low price for repair work and a high price. The yearly economic profits from each strategy are indicated in Figure bellow. The upper right side of each rectangle shows Brian's profits; the lower left side shows Matt's profits. Matt's Actions Low Price High Price Low Price Brian's Actions $1,500 $1,500 $200 $3,000 High Price $5,000 $200 $4,000 $4,000 Which of the following statements is correct for a one-trial game? The market equilibrium price is the low price. A market equilibrium price cannot be established unless Brian and Matt collude. A market equilibrium price cannot be established unless Brian or Matt engages in tit-for-tat strategy. A market equilibrium price cannot be established without repeated trials. The market equilibrium price is the high price.
