We have a group of three friends: Kramer, Jerry and Elaine. Kramer has a $10 banknote that he will auction off, and Jerry and Elaine will be bidding for it. Jerry and Elaine have to submit their bids to Kramer privately, both at the same time. We assume that both Jerry and Elaine only have $2 that day, and the available strategies to each one of them are to bid either$0, $1 or $2. Whoever places the highest bid, wins the $10 banknote. In case of a tie (that is, if Jerry and Elaine submit the same bid), each one of them gets $5. Regardless of who wins the auction, each bidder has to pay to Kramer whatever he or she bid. Does this game have a Nash Equilibrium? (If not, why not? If yes, what is the Nash Equilibrium?)
Professor can give a TA scholarship for a maximum of 2 years. At the beginning of each year professor Hahn decides whether he will give a scholarship to Gong Yi or not. Gong Yi can get a scholarship in t=2, only if he gets it in t=1. Basically, the professor and TA will play the following game twice. TA can be a Hardworking type with probably 0.3 and can be a Lazy type with a probability of 0.7. Professor does not know TA's type. If TA is hard working, it will be X=5 and TA will always work if he gets a scholarship. If TA is lazy, it will be X= 1. There is no time discount for t=2. Find out a Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium of the game.
Assume the following game situation: If Player A plays UP and Player B plays LEFT then Player A gets $2 and Player B gets $4. If Player A plays UP and Player B plays RIGHT then Player A gets $3 and Player B gets $6. If Player A plays DOWN and Player B plays LEFT then Player A gets $5 and Player B gets $2. If Player A plays DOWN and Player B plays RIGHT then Player A gets $1 and Player B gets $1. What is the mixed strategy expected payout for Player B? 1 40/15 39/15 11/2
Hi this is from a textbook. Thank you. Consider the following game in which Sally can play T or B and John chooses between L or R. Each player makes their choice simultaneously. If Sally chooses T and John chooses L, Sally gets a payoff of 5 and John has a payoff of 4. If Sally plays T and John R, Sally’s payoff is 8 and John gets 3. If Sally Chooses B and John L, the payoffs are 3 to Sally and 2 to John. Finally, if Sally chooses B and John R, the payoffs are 7 to Sally and 0 to John. Which statement is true? a) The Nash equilibrium is (B,R); this is a prisoners’ dilemma b) The Nash equilibrium is (T,R); this is a prisoners’ dilemma c) The Nash equilibrium is (T,R); this is not dominant strategy equilibrium d) The Nash equilibrium is (T,L); this is a dominant strategy equilibrium e) None of the above
Consider the following game. There are two payers, Player 1 and Player 2. Player 1 chooses a row (10, 20, or 30), and Player 2 chooses a column (10/20/30). Payoffs are in the cells of the table, with those on the left going to Player 1 and those on the right going to player 2. For example, a payoff 100/200 would mean Player 1 receives 100 and Player 2 receives 200.What is [are] the Nash Equilibrium [Equilibria] of this game?A) (10/10) and (20/20)B) (30/30)C) (10/20) and (20/10)D) (20/20)E) (30/30)

Sam and Sarah are thinking about getting married. However if either of them cheats on the other, they would get a payoff of 10, while the other person gets zero. If neither cheat, they stay with each other and get a payoff of 7 each and if both cheat, the relationship falls apart and each get a payoff of 1. What is the Nash equilibrium of this game? a. Cheat, Cheat b. Not cheat, Not cheat Sam cheats, Sarah doesn't Sarah cheats, Sam doesn't
Up Down Player 1 in the game above, what is/are the sub-game perfect Nash equilibrium? (up,up) (up,down) (down, up) (down, down) No equilibrium exists Up Down Up Down Player 2 P1 gets $100 P2 gets $100 P1 gets $10 P2 gets $10 P1 gets $15 P2 gets $5 P1 gets $110 P2 gets $10
Consider the following sequential move game. First player A must decide whether to play Out or In. In the former case the game ends and both players earn £5. In the latter case Player B is called to move and has to decide between Roll and Not roll a dice. If Player B chooses Not roll Player A gets 0 and B gets £14. If instead B chooses Roll, a dice is rolled. If a 6 shows up Player A gets 12 and B gets 10. Otherwise, A gets O and B gets 12. The Subgame Perfect Equilibrium of this game is: Select one: a. {In, Not Roll} O b. {Out, Roll} c. {Out} d. {In, Roll} e. {Out, Not Roll}
Two roommates John and Joe are playing a simultaneous game of cleaning the apartment. If neither of them clean, the apartment gets filthy and both get a utility of 2. If John cleans and Joe doesn’t, John gets a utility of 1 and Joe gets a utility of 4. If Joe cleans and John doesn’t, Joe gets a utility of 1 and John gets a utility of 4 and if both clean up the apartment, they each get a utility of 3.What is the Nash equilibrium of this game? Group of answer choices Joe cleans, John doesn’t John cleans, Joe doesn’t Both of them clean the apartment Neither of them clean the apartment
