1. We can use game theory to model everyday interactions. Consider a game that you're well familiar with: The choice of which side of a hallway to select if someone is coming from the other direction and has not yet made their own selection clear. How many Nash equilibria are in this game? Remember, an outcome is a Nash equilibrium if nobody has a profitable unilateral deviation; if no one has reason to be the only one to change what they're doing. 2. Consider following scenario which we can think of as a game played between two oligopoly firms, Timmer's snow removal & Jack's snow removal services. It costs Timmer $200 per customer per year. It costs Jack's $225 per customer per year. If the firms compete by strategically setting prices, what Nash equilibrium price do we expect? Explain. Remember, an outcome is a Nash equilibrium if nobody has a profitable unilateral deviation; if no one has reason to be the only one to change what they're doing.
1)What does the law of increasing opportunity cost?2) Does the law of increasing opportunity cost apply for the Production Possibilities Frontier in the case of Rabbits and Berries?3) If the opportunity cost of Rabbits with respect to Berries (and/or vice versa) was constant, what would the PPF look like?

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.

rituo? A. Identify the pure-strategy Nash equilibrium/a in the game below, and identify the Pareto efficient strategy combinations. (You may simply state these, you do not need to show how you derived your answer.) B. Identify the mixed-strategy equilibrium to the game. Show your work. You may use the equations from the "generic" 2X2 game if you wish. Doing it the long way is fine, however. C. State the payoff for each player in the mixed-strategy equilibrium. Is the mixed-strategy combination Pareto efficient? Player 1 U D 20 Player 2 L (10,15) (1,5) R (0,6) (1,6)
Suppose Amber and Jade can spend their days making croissants or writing poems. Their output per hour at each activity is the following: Amber Jade Croissants 40 30 In this situation, can mutually beneficial trade occur? Select one: OA. Yes, if Amber specializes in writing poems and trades them to Jade for her croissants. OB. No, because Amber more productive than Jade at both activities. OC. Yes, if Amber specializes in making croissants and trades them to Jade for her poems. OD. No, because Jade is more productive than Amber at both activities. Poems 5 3
Bonnie and Clyde are next-door neighbors. Both have identical yards with identical pools, The table below shows the amount of time it takes them to complete their yard work. Bonnie Clyde Rake the yard 40 minutes 150 minutes Clean the pool 180 minutes 120 minutes Bonnie and Clyde agree to completely specialize in the task for which they have the lower opportunity cost. In other words, one person will rake both of the yards, and one person will clean both of the pools. If they do this, how many minutes did Bonnie save by agreeing to this deal, compared with the original situation where she would have to rake one yard and clean one pool?
Production possibilities for two producers and merchants, Eric and Stan, are shown in the table below. Suppose both Eric and Stan are initially independent producers. Eric is producing 160 loaves of bread and 20 logs of wood. Stan is producing 120 logs of wood and 30 loaves of bread. Eric's Production Possibilities (monthly) Bread (loaves) Wood (logs) Stan's Production Possibilities (monthly) Bread (loaves) Wood (logs) 200 0 150 0 160 20 120 30 120 40 90 60 80 60 60 90 40 0 80 100 30 0 120 150 Eric and Stan are considering an arrangement of specialization and trade. If they specialize according to comparative advantage and agree on a trade of 30 loaves of bread for 20 logs of wood, then OA. Eric will have the same number of loaves of bread, but he will have more logs of wood. OB. Stan will have the same number of logs of wood, but he will have more loaves of bread. OC. Stan will produce 150 logs of wood, keep 130, and trade 20 to Eric in exchange for 30 loaves of bread. OD. Eric will…

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…
