Bleecker Street runs from A to B, as shown in the diagram. The lone convenience store currently in operation along this street is at A. An entrepreneur who wants to open another store in the neighborhood is weighing a choice between the only two available locations, C and D. If customers, who are uniformly distributed along Bleecker Street, always shop at the store nearest to where they live, which of the locations C or D would be optimal from the perspective of customers and why? A C D B O Location D because that would minimize the average travel time for customers. O Location D because that would mean each store would get an equal share of the market. O Location C because that would give the new entrepreneur higher profits. O Locations C and D would be equally attractive because consumers have no reason to care about the relative profitability of different entrepreneurs.

Game theory problem
In 'the dictator' game, one player (the dictator) chooses how to divide a pot of $10 between herself and another player (the recipient). The recipient does not have an opportunity to reject the proposed distribution. As such, if the dictator only cares about how much money she makes, she should keep all $10 for herself and give the recipient nothing. However, when economists conduct experiments with the dictator game, they find that dictators often offer strictly positive amounts to the recipients. Are dictators behaving irrationally in these experiments? Whether you think they are or not, your response should try to provide an explanation for the behavior.
Evolutionary game theory provides a framework for understanding the emergence of preferences and behavior. Why are theoretical methodologies that employ the rational actor model an evolutionary stable strategy for economists?
An old lady is looking for help crossing the street. Only one person is needed to help her; if more people help her, this is no better. You and I are the two people in the vicinity who can help; we have to choose simultaneously whether to do so. Each of us will get pleasure worth a 3 from her success (no matter who helps her), But each one who goes to help will bear a cost of 1, this being the value of our time taken up in helping. If neither player helps, the payoff for each player is zero. Set up this game in strategic form.
QUESTION 4 Suppose there are 2 players in a non- cooperative game theory situation. Player A can move Up or Down while Player B can choose Left or Right. The following matrix contains the payoffs that each player receives under 4 scenarios. The first number in each cell refers to the payoffs for Player A. Player A Up Down A. B. C. 10, 60 D. 20, 80 Player B Suppose Player A moves first and Player B moves second. There is one equilibrium, Up, Left Left There is one equilibrium: Down, Right. 50, 90 40, 50 There are two equilibria, (Down, Left) and (Up, Right) Right There is one equilibrium in this game, Up Right
You want to travel to Las Vegas to celebrate spring break and your "A" in your microeconomics class! You are trying to figure out if you should drive or fly. A round trip airline ticket from Riverside to Las Vegas costs $350 and flying there and back takes about 5 hours. Driving roundtrip to Las Vegas costs about $50 in gas and takes about 10 hours. Other things constant, what is the minimum amount of money that you would have to expect to make by gambling in Las Vegas to induce you as a rational individual to fly rather than drive? O $10 an hour $60 an hour O $70 an hour O $300 an hour
Find a situation from everyday life and model it as a strategic game. Then, find Nash equilibria and present your findings.
Game theory is a useful tool for analyzing Situations in which multiple parties make decisions that do not affect each other. Situations in which multiple parties make decisions with the potential to affect each other. Situations in which multiple parties make decisions. Situations in which one party makes a decision with the potential to affect other parties. Any situation in which a decision must be made.
There is a city, which looks like chopped isosceles triangle, as shown below. Citizens live uniformly distributed all over the city. Two ice-cream vendors, A and B, must independently set up stores in the city. Each citizen buys from the vendor closest to their location and when equidistant from both vendors they choose by coin toss. Each vendor’s aim is to maximize the expected number of customers. A choice of location by the two vendors is a Nash equilibrium if no vendor can do better by deviating unilaterally. Does this game have a Nash equilibrium? If so, describe it. If not, explain why not
Two supermarkets face the following possibilities. Superstore Advertise Don’t Advertise Megastore Advertise $95, $80 $305, $55 Don’t Advertise $65, $285 $165, $115 47. A Nash equilibrium is Group of answer choices for Megastore to advertise and for Superstore to advertise. for Megastore to advertise and for Superstore not to advertise for Megastore not to advertise and for Superstore to advertise. for Megastore not to advertise and for Superstore not to advertise. There is no Nas equilibrium in this rivalry game.
