Exercise 1.12. Consider the following game. There is a club with three members: Ann, Bob and Carla. They have to choose which of the three is going to be president next year. Currently Ann is the president. Each member is both a candidate and a voter. Voting is as follows: each member votes for one candidate (voting for oneself is allowed); if two or more people vote for the same candidate then that person is chosen as the next president; if there is complete disagreement, in the sense that there is exactly one vote for each candidate, then the person from whom Ann voted is selected as the next president. (a) Represent this voting procedure as a game frame, indicating inside each cell of each table which candidate is elected. (b) Assume that the players' preferences are as follows: AnnAm Carla Ann Bob, Carla Bob Ann, Bob Carla Ann Caria Carla. Using utility values 0, 1 and 2, convert the game frame into a game. (c) Apply the IDWDS to the game of part (b). Is there a weak iterated…

Cheryl Druehl Retailers, Inc., must decide whether to build a small or a large facility at a new location in Fairfax. Demand at the location will either be low or high, with probabilities 0.6 and 0.4, respectively. If Cheryl builds a small facility and demand proves to be high, she then has the option of expanding the facility. If a small facility is built and demand proves to be high, and then the retailer expands the facility, the payoff is $230,000. If a small facility is built and demand proves to be high, but Cheryl then decides not to expand the facility, the payoff is $183,000. If a small facility is built and demand proves to be low, then there is no option to expand and the payoff is $250,000. If a large facility is built and demand proves to be low, Cheryl then has the option of stimulating demand through local advertising. If she does not exercise this option, then the payoff is $45,000. If she does exercise the advertising option, then the response to advertising will…

Channels 7 and 10 are the only television networks. They want to capture as much of the market as possible because it helps them earn more advertising revenue. Each channel can choose to show a cooking or a reality show on Sunday night. If they both airing cooking shows or both airing reality shows, Channel 10 gets 60% of the market. If Channel 10 is showing a cooking show and Channel 7 is showing a reality show, Channel 10 gets 70% of the market. If Channel 10 is showing a reality show and Channel 7 is showing a cooking show, Channel 7 gets 45% of the market. In a sequential game, Channel 7 moves first. What is true? Group of answer choices Channel 7 will choose reality. Channel 7 has a second mover advantage. Channel 10 will choose cooking. Channel 10 will choose reality. Channel 7 will choose cooking.
Faris Co. and Fahad Co. are rivalry in Bahrain's market. Suppose the payoff to each of four strategic interactions are as follows: Faris Co. Response Action Reduce Price Don't Reduce Price Gain = BD 30,000 Reduce Price Loss = BD 1,000 Don't Reduce Price Loss = BD 5,000 No loss or gain The probability of Faris Co. to reduce price is 95 % (otherwise, probability of Faris Co. for not reducing price is 5 %), assume that Fahad Co. choose "reduce price" strategy a. What is size of loss from "reduce price" for Fahad Co.? b. What is size of gain from "don't reduce price" for Fahad Co? c. What is the expected payoff of a "reduce price" for Fahad Co.? and give an example (application) of d. Explain the concept of 'game theory' game theory Fahad Co. Response
The Government of Malaca has decided to sell pollution permits that will allow people to discharge pollutants into its largest freshwater lake. Each permit represents the right to discharge one tonne of pollutants. Malaca has determined that the lake will tolerate a maximum of 10 tonnes of pollutants per year and has decided to sell the permits using a Dutch auction. This means that the auction starts at a very high price, which is reduced in steps until the price reaches a level that will result in all 10 tonnes of pollution permits being sold at the same price. The results of the bidding are shown in table below. Price per Pollution Bidder Bidder Bidder Bidder Bidder Permit A.

The ultimatum game is a game in economic experiments. The first player (the proposer) receives a sum of money and proposes a fair proposal (F - 5;5) or unfair proposal (U - 8;2). The second player (the responder) chooses to either accept (A) or reject (R) this proposal. If the second player accepts, the money is split according to the proposal. If the second player rejects, neither player receives any money. 1 A 5:5 2 F R 0:0 U A 8:2 2 1. Find the subgame perfect Nash Equilibrium using backward induction. R 0;0
Time remaining: 01 :53 :32 Economics A dealer decides to sell an antique automobile by means of an English auction with a reservation price of $900. There are two bidders. The dealer believes that there are only three possible values, $7,200, $3,600, and $900, that each bidder’s willingness to pay might take. Each bidder has a probability of 1/3 of having each of these willingnesses to pay, and the probabilities for each of the two bidders are independent of the other’s valuation. Assuming that the two bidders bid rationally and do not collude, the dealer’s expected revenue from selling the car is approximately Group of answer choices $3,600. $2,500. $3,900. $5,400. $7,200.
(ii) A mixed strategy profile (p, q) is one in which p = (p,P2.... P) is the mixed strategy of player 1, and q- (g1, q2,..q4) is the mixed strategy of player 2. Show that if p, >0 in a Nash equilibrium profile (p*, q*), the player 2 must also play i with strictly positive probability q'; > 0. (State clearly any theorem you use to show this. You are not required to justify the theorem.) %3D
