Consider the following sequential move game of imperfect information. Consider the following sequential move game of imperfect information. In the event that Otis chooses Down, then they play the simultaneous move game shown in normal form (where Otis chooses between X and Y and Maeve simultaneously chooses between W and V).

A large group of players each guesses a number between 0 and 300. The winner is the person whose number is closest to three-fifth of the average guess. What is the Nash equilibrium? Will it be observed? What do you expect for the outcome of this game with next year's 203 class? (Considering that they have similar sophistication to your class but they have not covered game theory yet.)
Economics Alpha and Beta are the only firms selling gyros in the upscale town of Delphi. Each firm must decide on whether to offer a discount to students to compete for customers. If one firm offers a discount but the other does not then the firm that offers the discount will increase its profit. The figure shows the payoff matrix for this game. Alpha Offer Don't offer Alpha eams S60,000 Alpha eams $20,000 What is the Nash equilibrium in this game? Offer Bota earns $60,000 Bota earns $100.000 O A. There is no Nash equilibrium Beta Alpha earns $100.000 Alpha earms $80,000 O B. Beta offers a student discount but Alpha does not Don't OC. Both Alpha and Beta offer a student discount Beta eams $20,000 Beta earns $80,000 offer O D. Alpha offers a student discount but Beta does not
find all Nash equilibria in this game using von Neumann-Morgenstern preferences:
Two firms are competing to establish one of two new wireless communication standards, A or B. A strategy is a choice of standard, and an outcome of this game is a choice of standard by each firm – for example, (A, B) represents the case where Firm 1 decides to develop standard A and Firm 2 develops standard B. Here, the first letter will always correspond to Firm 1’s decision, and the second letter to Firm 2’s decision. Firm 1 has the following preferences over outcomes, in order of highest to lowest preferred: it prefers (A, A) to (B, A) to (A, B) to (B, B). Firm 2 prefers (A, B) to (A, A) to (B, A) to (B, B). Suppose that firms simultaneously decide which standard to develop. What is the pure strategy Nash equilibrium? Is the answer (B,B)? If not please explian what is the answer?
Describe the game and find all Nash equilibria in the following situation: Each of two players chooses a non-negative number. In the choice (a1, a2), the payoff of the first player is equal to a1(a2 - a1), and the payoff of the second player is equal to a2(1 – a1 – a2).
We can see from the payoff matrix that there are no pure strategy Nash equilibrium in this game because at least one firm would always have an incentive to change its behavior. From Nash's theorem, we know there must be at least one Nash equilibrium so there must be a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium for this game. Find the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium by first deleting all dominated strategies in the game What's the expected payoff to Firm 1 in the equilibrium?
