5. The Stag Hunt is a famous coordination game where two hunters must work together to hunt a stag but each one has the option to go solo and hunt a hare. The following payoff matrix depicts such a game: a. b. Hunter A Stag Hare Stag 5,5 4,0 Hunter B Hare 0,4 4,4 List any pure strategy Nash equilibria if they exist. Does the game have a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium? If so, solve for it.

9. Little Kona is a small coffee company that is consider- ing entering a market dominated by Big Brew. Each company's profit depends on whether Little Kona enters and whether Big Brew sets a high price or a low price: Little Kona Enter Don't Enter High Price Kona makes $2 million Kona makes zero Big Brew Brew makes $3 million Brew makes $7 million Kona loses $1 million Low Price Kona makes zero Brew makes $1 million Brew makes $2 million
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?

Table 8. This table shows a game played between two players, A and B. The payoffs are given in the table as (Payoff to A, Payoff to B). A Select one: Up Middle Down Left (4,2) a. Middle-Center O b. Down-Center (3, 1) (1,3) B Center (2,5) (5, 3) (4,4) Refer to Table 8. This table shows a game played between two players, A and B. The payoffs in the table are shown as (Payoff to A, Payoff to B). Which of the following outcomes represents a Nash equilibrium in the game? Right (3, 3) (5,2) (6, 1) O c. Up-Left O d. More than one of the above is a Nash equilibrium in this game.
7. Which of the following is not true of the “Battle of the Sexes" Game? a. The predicted outcome demonstrates how independent and rational play by players can quickly reach an agreement or a convergence of expectations concerning which strategy will be played by each player in equilibrium. b. The Battle of the Sexes Game can be used to depict a variety of situations where the players' interests do not precisely coincide, except for the fact that they both want to avoid the outcomes that would result from choosing different actions from one another. c. Players do not have a dominant strategy but playing “Boxing" say, is a best response to the other playing "Boxing" even if it doesn't give the player the payoff associated with his or her preferred alternative. d. Played only once, the outcome where each goes to their preferred venue cannot be Nash Equilibrium.
Player 1 Cooperate (C) Defect (D) Cooperate (C) 3,3 8,0 Player 2 Defect (D) 0,8 1,1 In general, a combination of strategies is a Nash equilibrium if ... Every player is choosing a best response against the other players' strategies. Every player has a positive payoff. The players maximize the sum of their payoffs. The players choose identical strategies. If the game is repeated, which cooperative actions could benefit both players? O Both players choose C. Player 1 chooses C, Player 2 chooses D. O Player 1 chooses D, Player 2 chooses C. Both players choose D.

5. The following problem was first considered by John von Neumann and is a fundamentalresult game theory.A and B play the following game:A writes down either number 1 or number 2, and B must guess which one.If the number that A has written down is i and B has guessed correctly, B receives i units from A.If B makes a wrong guess, B pays 4/5 of a unit to A.First we consider the expected gain of player B.Suppose B guesses 1 with probability p and 2 with probability 1 −p.Let X1 denote B’s gain (or loss) in a game where A has written down 1.Let X2 denote B’s gain (or loss) in a game where A has written down 2.(a) Find the pmf of X1 and X2(b) Find B’s expected gain for these two cases, E[X1] and E[X2].(c) What value of p maximizes the minimum possible value of B’s expected gain?Now consider the expected loss of player ASuppose that A writes down 1 with probability q and 2 with probability 1 −q.Let Y1 be A’s loss (or gain) if B chooses number 1.Let Y2 be A’s loss (or gain) if B…
4. Sonia the Terrible lands her ship and crew of scurvy-pirate raiders onto a foreign beach. Up on the headland is a village, led by Jen the Brave. At this point, Sonia has a choice: she can SLASH her water barrels, eliminating her water supplies; or she can NOT SLASH, which keeps her water supplies completely intact. Having seen the action taken by Sonia, Jen can choose to CHARGE or to WAIT. The payoffs are as follows: if Sonia the Terrible chooses to SLASH and Jen CHARGES, the payoffs are (100, 20) to Sonia and Jen, respectively. If Sonia SLASHES and Jen WAITS, the payoffs are (10, 30). On the other hand, if Sonia chooses to NOT SLASH and Jen CHARGES, the payoff is (20, 15). If Sonia opts to NOT SLASH and Jen chooses to WAIT, the payoffs are (40, 10), respectively. What is the subgame perfect (or credible) equilibrium outcome? a. Sonia the Terrible chooses to SLASH; Jen the Brave chooses to CHARGE b. Sonia the Terrible chooses to NOT SLASH; Jen the Brave chooses to WAIT c. Sonia the…
