QUESTION 100 Table 17-20 Nadia and Maddie are two college roommates who both prefer a clean common space in their dorm room, but neither enjoys cleaning. The roommates must each make a decision to either clean or not clean the dorm room's common space. The payoff table for this situation is provided below, where the higher a player's payof number, the better off that player is. The payoffs in each cell are shown as (payoff for Nadia, payoff for Maddie). Nadia Clean Don't Clean not clean, and Nadia's payoff will be 30. Maddie Clean (30, 30) (50, 7) Refer to Table 17-20. If Maddie chooses not to clean, then Nadia will a. clean, and Nadia's payoff will be 50. b. not clean, and Nadia's payoff will be 10. Od. clean, and Nadia's payoff will be 7. Don't Clean (7,50) (10, 10)

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.

Jane is interested in buying a car from a used car dealer. Her maximum willingness to pay for thecar is 12 ($12,000). Bo, the dealer, is willing to sell the car as long as he receives at least 9($9,000). What is the Nash bargaining solution to this game?
Player 1 and player 2 are playing a simultaneous-move one-shot game, where player 1 can move "up" or "down" and player 2 can move "left" or "right" The payoffs for the game are shown in the payoff matrix. The first number of each cell represents player 1's payoff, and the second number is player 2's. Use the matrix to answer the questions below. Player 1 2nd attempt Part 1 Part 2 Which of the following outcomes is a pure strategy Nash equilibrium of this game? P = (1-P) = Up Down Part 3 9= Left -16, -18 -20,7 Choose one or more: A. There is no pure strategy Nash equilibrium in this game. OB. Player 1 plays up; player 2 plays left. OC. Player 1 plays up; player 2 plays right. □ D. Player 1 plays down; player 2 plays left. O E. Player 1 plays down; player 2 plays right. Player 2 Suppose player 1 assigns probability p to playing up and (1 - p) to playing down. What do p and (1-p) have to be such that player 2 is indifferent between playing left and right? Round all answers to two decimal…
3. Two individuals are involved in a synergistic relationship. If both individuals devote more effort to the relationship, they are both better off. Specifically, an effort level is a nonnegative number, and player 1's payoff function is e₁(1+€₂-e₁), where ei is player i's effort level. For player 2 the cost of effort is either the same as that of player 1, and hence her payoff function is given by e2(1+e₁ - e₂), or effort is very costly for her in which case her payoff function is given by e₂(1 + e₁ — 2e2). 1 Player 2 knows player 1's payoff function and whether the cost of effort is high for herself or not. Player 1, however, is uncertain about player 2's cost of effort. He believes that the cost of effort is low with probability p, and high with probability 1 - p, where 0 < p < 1. Find the Bayesian Nash equilibrium of this game as a function of p.
Olivia is thinking about opening a new bakery (the entrant). There is already a bakery open in her neighborhood (the incumbent), and the owner of the incumbent bakery makes it clear that if Olivia enters the market, they will cut their prices in an attempt to drive the new bakery out of business. Based on the payoff matrix below, is the incumbent’s threat credible? That is, if Olivia opens a new bakery, will the incumbent actually lower their prices? Note: the entrant chooses the row, the incumbent chooses the column High price Low price Enter 1, 2 -1, 1 Don’t enter 0, 10 0, 1 a. Yes, the threat is credible b. No, the threat is not credible
The US and Canada have overfished North Atlantic cod stocks nearly to the point of extinction. Both countries wish to preserve the cod industry (and hence the cod stocks), so the two countries sign an agreement to limit fish hauls. Each country has two possible strategies: comply with the agreement (limit fishing) or renege on the agreement (overfish). Each country’s payoffs for different strategy combinations are given in the matrix below. The numbers in the cells represent utilities, and the payoff ordering is (US, Canada). QUESTIONS: 1.If this is a one-shot game (i.e., it is played once), do the players have a dominant strategy? If so, what is it? Briefly explain your answer. 2.What is the equilibrium of this game? Is it Pareto-optimal? How do you know?
the Consider a simultaneous-move integer game between two players: Marilyn and Noah. Each of player is required to announce a positive integer between 1 to 4. In other words, a player can announce 1, 2, 3, or 4. Two players announce their integers simultaneously. Notice that this game is different from the games we learned in class in that each player has four actions to take. The payoffs of the players in the game are specified as follows: (1) when the two announced integers are different, whoever reports the lower number pays $1 to the other player, so that the loser of the game has payoff -1 and the winner of the game has payoff 1; (2) when the two players announce the same integer, their payoffs are both O. What is Marilyn's maximin strategy? 01 02 03 O

Problem 4: Consider an infinitely repeated game, where the base game is the following 2-person 2x2 game: A A 0,0 10, 10 S1: choose A always S2: choose B always B 10, 10 0,0 Assume both players discount the future at the same rate of r, 0 < r < 1. Limiting each player's strategies to the following six possibilities, S3: Choose A then mimic the other player's previous choice S4: Choose B, then mimic the other player's previous choice S5: Choose A, then choose the opposite of the other player's previous choice S6: Choose B, then choose the opposite of the other player's previous choice a. present the strategic form of this game, b. identify all pure-strategy Nash equilibria c. does repetition with these strategies "solve" the coordination dilemma that confronts the players in the single play of the above game.
