Consider a modified Traveler’s Dilemma. In terms of strategy options that the players have and the dollars they earn, it is like the standard Traveler’s Dilemma, but the players do not have endless appetite for money. Up to 100 dollars, each dollar feels like a dollar. But any moneybeyond 100 is psychologically like 100 dollars. Assuming that players are maximizers of ‘psychological’ dollars instead of real dollars, describe all the Nash equilibria of this modified Traveler’s Dilemma.
Bernie and Leona were arrested for money laundering and were interrogated separately by the phone. Bernie and Leona were each presented with the following independent offers. If one confesses and the other doesn’t, then who confesses goes free and the other will receive a 20-year prison sentence; if both confess, each receives a 10-year prison sentence; and if neither confesses, each will only receive a 2-year prison sentence.a. Use the above information to construct a payoff matrix for Bernie and Leonab. Does either Bernie or Leona have a dominant strategy? Why or why not?c. Does a Nash equilibrium exist? Why or why not?
2. Consider a two-stage game of complete but imperfect information where players 1 and 2 simultaneously choose actions a₁ and a₂ in stage 1 and players 3 and 4 simultaneously choose actions a3 and a in stage 2. Provide the notation for the Nash equilibrium in stage 2. How come players 1 and 2 can anticipate this outcome in stage 2?

1) Define Cartel and give an example. 2) Thelma and Louise are being charged for a murder/robbery. They are separated by police and interrogated. They are given the choice to confess or not to confess. The payoff matrix below identifies the years that they will each spend in jail, for the various outcomes. Louise Confess Don't Confess Confess (2 10,10 15.2 Thelma Don't Confess 2,15 3,3 a. Identify the Dominant Strategy for either player, or state that there isn't one. Remember, a "Strategy" is the players move. In this example, state "Confess" or "Don't Confess" for each player, not the payoff. b. Identify the Nash Equilibrium.
Hal and Nick are racing to develop a new brand of coconut milk that they both believe will be the next big soft drink. The payoff matrix shows the economic profit in millions of dollars for the game that Hal and Nick play. O A. Hal and Nick will never cooperate in this research. OB. Hal and Nick will cooperate in this research every time they play the game. Q Search OC. It is possible for cooperation in this research and development game if the game is played repeatedly and cheating on the agreement is punished using a tit-for-tat strategy OD. Hal and Nick will cooperate in this research only if a threat exists that a third firm will enter the coconut milk market Pat's strategies (blue squares) Develop Not develop 0 Hal's strategies (red squares) Develop -1.0 2.5 2.5 1.0 Not develop Next -1.0 1.0

For the operating systems game, let us now assume the intrinsic superiorityof Mac is not as great and that network effects are stronger for Windows.These modifications are reflected in different payoffs. Now, the payoff fromadopting Windows is 50 X w and from adopting Mac is 15 + 5 X m;n consumers are simultaneously deciding between Windows and Mac.a. Find all Nash equilibria.b. With these new payoffs, let us now suppose that a third option exists,which is to not buy either operating system; it has a payoff of 1,000.Consumers simultaneously decide among Windows, Mac, and nooperating system. Find all Nash equilibria.
Consider the infinite repeated two-player game where at each stage the play- ers play the non-zero-sum game given by A В A (5, 5) (0,7) В (7, 0) | (2, 2) (a) Consider the following strategies: SA: always play A. SB: always play B. • St: play A on the first stage, thereafter copy what the other player did in the preceding stage. Suppose that the total payoff involves a discount factor 8, and that both players are restricted to the pure strategies SA, SB, and sT. Determine the set of d for which (ST, ST) is a Nash equilibrium. (b) Use the one stage deviation principle to determine whether the pair (ST, ST) is a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium for some range of val- ues of 8.
Which of the following is FLASE for an extensive form game with perfect information? A. All Nash equilibria has the property of non-credible threat B. Subgame perfect equilibrium eliminates non-credible threats O C. In a Nash equlibrium strategy, each agent's strategy is a contingent plan
