Consider a bankruptcy game with two risk neutral players where V =$800,000, C1= $300,000 and C2=$800,000. a) What is the Nash bargaining solution?
Refer to the following payoff table: Firm A's Advertising Budget Multiple Choice Low O Medium High Firm A High Firm A High A Firm B Medium D G Low $900, $900 $1,000 $800 Firm B's Advertising Budget Medium B E H $820, $1,220 $950, $1,025 $875, $920 $800, $875 After the first round of elimination, are there any dominant strategies? If so, which one(s)? C Neither firm has a dominant strategy after the first round. F High $1,060, $1,100 $1,040, $1,000 $1,025, $1,175
4. Consider a normal form game with N= {1,2} and S= {A,B,C,D} x {W,X,Y,Z}. Assume that L1 allows to eliminate D and X, L2 allows to eliminate B and C, and L3 allows to eliminate Z. Provide payoffs that lead to this outcome. State the rationality assumptions explicitly.
In the following normal-form game, what strategies survive iterated elimination of strictly dominated strategies? L C R T 2,0 1,1 4,2 M 3,4 1,2 2,3 B 1,3 0,2 3,0
4) Consider the following payoff matrix: Player 1 Strategy A Strategy B c) Is the payoff matrix symmetric? Player 2 Strategy A Strategy B (0,0) (7,4) (2,2) (3,3) a) Does either player have a dominant strategy? b) Is there one or more Nash Equilibrium? 1
a) Clearly indicate the eliminated dominated strategies. Apply the EIE algorithm, and determine the solution set of the game in normal form. b) Assuming that each player would not choose strategies that are strictly dominated, determine the Nash equilibria of the reduced game J2 (3,1) (4, 2) (2, 0) (0, 4) (1, 5) (3,0) (1, 3) (2, 2) a J1 (4, 1) (2, 5) (2,6) (5, 2)
1. Consider the following game matrix. Player A Answer: Top Bottom Left a, b e, f Player B Right c, d g, h (a) If top and left are strictly dominant strategies, then what do we know the relationship of the parameters? (b) If (top, left) is a Nash equilibrium, then what do we know the relationship of the parameters? Answer: (c) If top and left are strictly dominant strategies, will (top, left) be a Nash equilibrium? Why? Answer: (d) If (top, left) is a Nash equilibrium, must the strategies be strictly dominant strategies? Why? Answer:
Dizz Cut price Maintain price Perlis Cut price (-1,-1) A (2,-2) B Maintain price (-2,2) (1,1) D Figure 12 Payoff matrix for two firms in oligopoly Two firms, Perlis and Dizz, produce washing powder in a market characterised by oligopoly. Each firm can increase its market share and profits by cutting its price relative to its rival. However if both firms cut prices they both suffer a fall in profit. This situation may be characterised as a game and Figure 12 shows the payoff matrix for this game. Figure 12 also labels each cell in the payoff matrix with a letter, A, B, C or D. Based on the information in the payoff matrix, decide which cells, if any, correspond to a Nash equilibrium. Select one answer. Select one: O There is no Nash equilibrium O D O A O A and D
