Players 1 and 2 are leaving the house and need to decide whether or not to bring an umbrella. They know there's a 75% chance that it will rain (thanks AccuWeather). If they don't bring an umbrella and it rains they receive a payoff of -7. If they do bring an umbrella and it rains, they receive a payoff of -4. If it doesn't rain, but they bring an umbrella they receive a payoff of -2. Finally, if it doesn't rain and they don't bring an umbrella they receive a payoff of 2. Player 1 learns the weather before they leave the house, but player 2 does not. Player 2 can, however, observe player 1s choice. (a) Represent this game in the extensive form. i. Use backwards induction to solve for the Nash equilibrium (b) Represent this game in the normal form i. Solve for the Nash equilibrium (c) Are the equilibrium strategy profiles the same in a) and b)? Explain why or why not.

Q5 A and B are sharing a room with a TV and a DVD player. DVD's can be rented for the weekend for a cost of $5. They would each get $4 worth of enjoyment from a weekend movie, so if both of them rent a movie a on a particular weekend they can each get $8 worth of enjoyment at a cost of $5 rental. (a) Model this as a strategic form game with both players having the strategies Rent (R) and No Rent (N), (b) What is the equilibrium if they share the room for one weekend only? (e) Draw the extensive form of the game if they stay together for two weeks, and identify the subgame perfect equilibria. (d) Explain whether or not the outcome of the game will change if they stay together for 10 weeks.

Here is a Bayesian BOS game. Man has a special preference t1 on boxing while woman has a special preference t2 on opera. Both are in [0,2]. The preference information is private. i.e. Each knows his (her) own preference but does not know the other's preference. The below is the payoff. M/W Boxing Opera Воxing 3+t1,1 0,0 Opera 0,0 1,3+t2 We are checking whether the below strategy profile is a Bayesian Nash Equilibrium. "Man chooses boxing if t1>p while woman chooses opera if t2>g." 1) Given t1, man will choose boxing if t1> /g- 2) Given t2, woman will choose opera if t2> /p- 4) By shoving the simultaneous equations, we get p=q=sqrt(6)-

Player 1 and Player 2 will play one round of the Rock-Paper-Scissors game. The winner receives a payoff +1, the loser receives a payoff -1. If it is a tie, then each player receives a payoff zero. Suppose Player 2 is using a non-optimal strategy: he/she plays Rock with probability 35%; Paper with probability 45%; and Scissors with probability 20%. Given that Player 1 knows Player 2 is using this strategy, the best response of Player 1 is to play O a mixed strategy with probability 1/3 each (Rock, Paper and Scissors) O Scissors with probability 100% O any strategy (any strategy is a best response for Player 1) O Rock with probability 100% O Paper with probability 100%

3. Suppose we play the following game. I give you $100 for your initial bankroll. At each time n, you decide how much of your current wealth to bet. You cannot borrow money. You can only play with the money I gave you in the beginning or any money that you have won so far. The game is simple. At each time n ≥ 1, you decide the amount to bet. I will roll a fair die. If the die comes up 1,2,3,..., or 5, you win; if the die comes up 6, then you lose. IOW, if you bet $10 on the first roll, you will either have $90 or $110 after the first roll. (a) Suppose you wish to maximize your profit on the first roll. How much should you bet? (Most of you will get this wrong.) (b) What is the expected profit on the first roll if your bet is b with 0 ≤ b ≤ 100? (c) Suppose you wish to maximize your expected profit on the first roll. How much should you bet? (d) Suppose you wish to maximize your expected profit betting on the nth roll. How much of your current wealth do you bet? (e) Let X₂, be your…
