This is a two-player, simultaneous one-move game represented as a game table (normal form). What is the pure strategy Nash equilibrium outcome if there is one? Is this a socially optimal outcome? If not, which outcome is preferred?
Consider the following decision by two countries: a small country (C1) and a large country (C2). When both countries cooprate and agree to an environmental agreement, C1 receives 4 and C2 receives 5 units of benefit. When they do not cooperae, they incur costs of -1, and -2, respectively. The payoffs associated with other outcomes are described in the table below. Large country (C2) Agree to environmental protection (cooperate) Do not agree to environmental protection (do not cooperate) The Socially Optiomal outcome is The Nash Equilibrium is Agree to environmental protection (cooperate) C1:4 C2: 5 C1: 2 C2: 6 [Choose ] Small country (C1) [Choose ] Do not agree to environmental protection (do not cooperate) C1:2 C2: -3 C1: -1 C2: -2

THE PRISONERS' DILEMMA Consider the following simple model of a cocktail party. Alice and Bob are carrying on separate conversations at the party. Alice speaks at volume a and Bob speaks at volume b. The communication benefit to Alice is al(a + b) and the benefit to Bob is b/(a + b). The vocal-strain cost to Alice is ca and the cost to Bob is cb, where c is a parameter. Suppose that the players have two choices: speaking softly at volume 1, or speaking loudly at volume 4. This leads to the following game in strategic form, with Alice choosing the row and Bob choosing the column. a = 1 a = 4 b = 1 0.5-c, 0.5-c 0.8-4c, 0.2-c 0.0400 0.0500 0.0750 0.0800 0.1500 b = 4 0.2 c, 0.8-4c - 0.54c, 0.5-4c For which of the following values of c is this game a prisoners' dilemma? (Mark all values for which this is true.)
(1) Two firms (A and B) that produce timber products pollute a local forest with pesticides used to grow trees. Currently, firm A releases 100 pounds of pesticide waste into the forest per month, while firm B releases 140 pounds of pesticide waste into forest per month. The table below shows the cost of reducing pesticide waste by increments of 10 pounds for each firm. For each firm, reductions beyond 50 pounds would be virtually impossible to accomplish and expensive if it is to stay in business, because some pesticide must be used. Total cost of reducing Firm A pesticide waste by 10 pounds 20 pounds 30 pounds 40 pounds 50 pounds Firm B $6 $4 $18 $12 $36 $24 $60 $40 $90 $64 Suppose the government wants to reduce pesticide waste level to 180 pounds. That is, the government wants to reduce pesticide waste from its current monthly level to 180 pounds per month. To achieve this goal, the government decides to issue permits to pollute. A total of 18 permits are issued, where each permit…
Ch 3, q3. Assume a city of 1,000,000 people, 60% of whom are willing to pay $1 maximum (each) to clean up pollution. The rest of the population is wealthier and willing to pay $100 each to clean up pollution. Pollution clean-up costs $2,000,000. It has been proposed that each person be taxed equally to pay for the pollution clean-up. Will that pass a majority- rule vote? Is it desirable from the point of view of the Pareto criterion? Is it a good idea using the compensation principle? Which social choice mechanism do you think is best on intuitive grounds, and why?
There are two adjacent coal fields A and B. Under the fields is a common pool of coal worth $12 million. Drilling to extract the coal costs $1 million. If each company drills, each will get half the coal and each will earn a $5 million profit. Either company could drill a second time. If one company has two of the three wells drilled, that company gets two-thirds of the coal, yielding a profit of $6 million, and the other company gets one-third of the coal, for a profit of $3 million. If both companies drill a second well, the companies again split the coal, and each earn a profit of $4 million. What is company A's dominant strategy? Should it drill one well, two wells, or is there no dominant strategy? What is company B's dominant strategy? Should it drill one well, two wells, or is there no dominant strategy? What is the Nash equilibrium?
