Two investors have each deposited 5 (all amounts are in $10,000s) with a bank. The bank has invested these deposits in a long-term project. If both investors make withdrawals at date 1 then each receives 3 and the game ends. If only one investor makes a withdrawal at date 1 then that investor receives 5, the other receives 1, and the game ends. Finally, if neither investor makes a withdrawal at date 1 then the project matures and the investors make withdrawal decisions at date 2. If both investors make withdrawals at date 2 then each receives 7 and the game ends. If only one investor makes a withdrawal at date 2 then that investor receives 9, the other receives 5, and the game ends. Finally, if neither investor makes a withdrawal at date 2 then the bank returns 7 to each investor and the game ends. Show the bi-matrix for dates 1 and 2.

After graduation from business school, Pete wanted to start a new business. In competition with another firm, he became involved in developing a new technology that would allow consumers to sample food over the Internet. Given the newness of this market, technological compatibility across firms is important. Pete’s firm, DigiOdor, is far advanced in developing its Sniff technology. His competitor, WebTaste, has been working on an incompatible technology, Smell. If they both adopt the same technology, Sniff or Smell, they each may gross $150 million from the developing industry. If they adopt different technologies, consumers will later decide to purchase neither product, leading to gross sales of $0 each. In addition to the above considerations, switching over to the other technology would cost WebTaste $100 million right away and DigiOdor $250 million. In other words, WebTaste would incur additional costs of $100 million if it switched to Sniff technology, and DigiOdor would incur…
If a 2-percent increase in the price of corn flakes causes a 10-percent decline in the quantity demanded, what is the elasticity of demand?
If the players play pure strategies, the game has no Nash equilibrium. But what if they choose their moves randomly? Let each player instead opt for a mixed strategy instead of a pure strategy. The first will play action Z with probability p, and the second will play action L with probability q. At which pair (p, q) are the mixed strategies of the players in equilibrium? At which pair (p, q) does neither player want to change strategy? When are both strategies simultaneously the best response?

Player 1 and Player 2 will play one round of the Rock-Paper-Scissors game. The winner receives a payoff +1, the loser receives a payoff -1. If it is a tie, then each player receives a payoff zero. Suppose Player 2 is using a non-optimal strategy: he/she plays Rock with probability 35%; Paper with probability 45%; and Scissors with probability 20%. Given that Player 1 knows Player 2 is using this strategy, the best response of Player 1 is to play O a mixed strategy with probability 1/3 each (Rock, Paper and Scissors) O Scissors with probability 100% O any strategy (any strategy is a best response for Player 1) O Rock with probability 100% O Paper with probability 100%
John and Paul are walking in the woods one day when suddenly an angry bear emerges from the underbrush. They each can do one of two things: run away or stand and fight. If one of them runs away and the other fights, then the one who ran will get away unharmed (payoff of 0) while the one who fights will be killed (payoff -200). If they both run, then the bear will chase down one of them and eat them to death but the other one will get away unharmed. Assuming they don't know which one will escape we will call this a payoff of -100 for both. If they BOTH fight, then they will successfully drive off the bear but they may be injured in the process (payoff -20). Construct a payoff matrix for this game and identify the pure strategy Nash equilibrium. (Indicate it with words not with a circle!)
