Dizz Cut price Maintain price Perlis Cut price (-1,-1) A (2,-2) B Maintain price (-2,2) (1,1) D Figure 12 Payoff matrix for two firms in oligopoly Two firms, Perlis and Dizz, produce washing powder in a market characterised by oligopoly. Each firm can increase its market share and profits by cutting its price relative to its rival. However if both firms cut prices they both suffer a fall in profit. This situation may be characterised as a game and Figure 12 shows the payoff matrix for this game. Figure 12 also labels each cell in the payoff matrix with a letter, A, B, C or D. Based on the information in the payoff matrix, decide which cells, if any, correspond to a Nash equilibrium. Select one answer. Select one: O There is no Nash equilibrium O D O A O A and D

Player 1 Cooperate (C) Defect (D) Cooperate (C) 3,3 8,0 Player 2 Defect (D) 0,8 1,1 In general, a combination of strategies is a Nash equilibrium if ... Every player is choosing a best response against the other players' strategies. Every player has a positive payoff. The players maximize the sum of their payoffs. The players choose identical strategies. If the game is repeated, which cooperative actions could benefit both players? O Both players choose C. Player 1 chooses C, Player 2 chooses D. O Player 1 chooses D, Player 2 chooses C. Both players choose D.
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!)
