6) You have been assigned to create a new TV game show, and you have an interesting idea that you call, “I WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE.” The basics are: 1) two contestants; 2) the show begins with each contestant being given $1 million (!); and then 3) they begin playing a game that can increase or decrease that $1 million. You worry that the initial outlay of $2 million will stun your producers, so you decide to prepare them with a simpler version of your game that you call: “I WANT $3.” There are four steps in this simpler game: There are two contestants/opponents (who do not know each other and cannot communicate with each other during the game). Each player is given $3 at the start of the game. Independently and simultaneously, each player must choose whether they want to add $0, $1, $2 or $3 to their initial stake of $3. Doing so reduces their opponent’s award by $0, $2, $4, or $6, respectively. Each player knows that their payoff at the end of the game is based on their initial…

Suppose that Verania and Josimar are roommates that need to complete some household chores. Vacuuming and washing dishes need to be done. They know from the last time they did these chores that it takes Verania 2 hours to vacuum and 1 hour to wash dishes. It takes Josimar 3 hours to vacuum and 2 hours to wash dishes. Josimar says it does not matter which task each of them performs because Verania is faster at both tasks. Josimar’s reasoning a. is wrong. Because Verania has a comparative advantage in washing dishes, she should wash dishes, and Josimar should vacuum. b. is correct. Because Verania is faster at both tasks, there is no benefit in each volunteer specializing in one task or the other. c. is wrong. Because Verania has an absolute advantage in both tasks, she should perform both tasks herself. d. is wrong. Because Josimar has a comparative advantage in washing dishes, he should wash dishes, and Verania should vacuum.
4. Two students will take an exam. The one with the higher score will receive an A and the other one will receive a B. Student 1's score equals x1 + 1.5 where x1 is the amount of effort she invests in studying. Student 2's score is x2 where x2 is the amount of effort she exerts. Assume that x1 and x2 can take any value in [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. The payoff to student i is 10 – x; if she gets an A and 8 – x; if she gets a B. a) Which strategies can be removed by iterated deletion of strictly dominated strategies? b) Which strategies can be removed by iterated deletion of weakly dominated strategies?
Please no written by hand solutions Consider a game between two friends, Amy and Brenda. Amy wants Brenda to give her a ride to the mall. Brenda has no interest in going to the mall unless her favorite shoes are on sale at the large department store there. Amy likes these shoes as well, but she wants to go to the mall even if the shoes are not on sale. Only Amy subscribes to the newspaper, which carries a daily advertisement of the department store. The advertisement lists all items that are on sale, so Amy learns whether or not the shoes are on sale by showing the newspaper to Brenda. But this is costly for Amy, because she will have to take the newspaper away from her sister, who will yell at her later for doing so. In this game, nature first decides whether or not the shoes are on sale, and this information is made known to Amy (Amy observes whether nature chose S or N). Nature chooses S with probability p and N with probability 1-p. Then Amy decides whether or not to take the…

Karan and Arjun work for a political campaign for 20 hours each per week. It takes Karan 2 hours to make a poster and 5 hours to write a memo. It takes Arjun 4 hours to make a poster and X hours to write a memo. The campaign needs 10 posters this week, and as many memos as possible. Since Karan is faster at making posters, he should be assigned the task of making posters.
Problem: Imagine you have two competing athletes who have the option to use an illegal and dangerous drug to enhance their performance (i.e., dope). If neither athlete dopes, then neither gain an advantage. If only one dopes, then that athlete gains a massive advantage over their competitor, reduced by the medical and legal risks of doping (the athletes believe the advantage over their competitor outweighs the risks from doping ). However, if both athletes dope, the advantages cancel out, and only the risks remain, putting them both in a worse position than if neither had been doping. What outcome do we expect from these two athletes? Please use ideas like concepts of monopolies, Oligopolies and Game Theory and Factor markets for this scenario.
