Refer to the normal-form game of advertising shown below. Firm A Advertise Do Not Advertise Firm B Advertise $0, $0 $10, $175 Do Not Advertise $175, $10 $125, $125 Suppose there is a 10 percent chance that the advertising game depicted in Figure 10- will end next period. What is the present value to firm A of agreeing to the strategy (do not advertise, do not advertise)?

QUESTION 12 This is a HOT SPOT question. You will need to evaluate the picture of the game below, and answer the question by clicking on a specific area (the hot spot) of the picture. Question: Are there any dominant strategies in this game? If there are, click on the box that corresponds to that dominant strategy (either UP, DOWN, LEFT, or RIGHT). If there aren't any anywhere outside of these boxes. If there are dominant strategies for both players, clicking on only one of them will suffice.

Question 2 Suppose there are two players, an entrant and an incumbent firm playing the following game: the entrant decides whether to stay out or enter. The incumbent decides whether to innovate or not. If the entrant stays out, the entrant firm gets a payoff of 0 whereas the incumbent firm gets a payoff od 1500, independent of the action of the incumbent firm. If the entrant enters and the incumbent doesn't innovate, the entrant gets 1200 whereas the incumbent gets 500. If the entrant enters and the incumbent innovates, the entrant and the incumbent get a payoff of 1000 each. a) Draw the normal form of the game and solve for the Nash equilibrium/equilibria. b) Suppose the game is dynamic: first the entrant decides whether to enter or stay out. If the entrant enters, the incumbent decides whether to innovate or not. If the entrant stays out, the incumbent doesn't get to play. Draw the extensive form of the fame, mark the subgames on paper and solve for the subgame-perfect Nash…
Question 4 Consider allocating an object to one of two players when each player's pref- erences are her private information. Player 1's value for the object, denoted by vị is drawn from a continuous distribution with (1. 2] as its support. Player 2's value for the object, denoted by v2, is likewise drawn from the interval 0, 1]. 1. What is the equilibrium in dominant strategies if a second price auction is used to allocate the object. Is the outcome ex-post efficient? 2. For what pairs (v1, v2) should Player 1 and Player 2 respectively be allocated the object in a mechanism that maximizes expected revenue for the seller? 3. Comment on the differing allocations you obtained in the previous two parts.
Identify any strictly dominant strategies for the players.
QUESTION 1 We have two auto manufacturers, Tudor (initial monopolist) and Fordor (potential entrant). Tudor might try to use its price in the first stage of the game as a signal of its cost. Fordor's initial belief is that the probability of facing a low-cost Tudor is 40% and this matches the probability with which Tudor has the lower cost. The entry game between automakers is illustrated in the following game tree (The first number at each terminal node is Tudor's payoff): NATURE Tudor's cost low (Prob. 0.4) TUDOR Tudor's cost high (Prob. 0.6) TUDOR FORDOR Price low TUDOR FORDOR Price low Price high FORDOR In Bluff (LL) Out In Out In Out 100+69, 11-40 Honest (LH) 100+ 100,0 0+3,45-40 25+25,0 Converting the sequential game to a bimatrix form, fill in the blanks. 0+25,0 25+3,45-40 FORDOR Regardless (II) Conditional (OI)
Game Theory
A country’s market for new motor vehicles is dominated completely by two firms, Fastcars Ltd and Slowcars Ltd. Market revenue is fixed at $10 billion. Each firm can choose whether to advertise. Advertising costs $1 billion for each firm that advertises. If one firm advertises and the other does not, then the firm that advertises receives 100% of market revenue and pays for its advertising. If both firms advertise, they split the market revenue 50:50 and pay for their respective advertising. If neither advertises, they split the market revenue 50:50 but without the expense of advertising. a) What strategy would you advise that Fastcars Ltd should follow? b) What would you predict will be the strategy chosen by each firm? c) Is there an outcome that would make both firms better off? In case you find that there is such an outcome, is it achievable?
