You play the following bargaining game. Player A moves first and makes Player B an offer for the division of $1000. (For example, Player A could suggest that she take $600 and Player B take $400.) Player B can accept or reject the offer. If he rejects it, the amount of money available drops to $800, and he then make an offer for the division of this amount. If Player A rejects this offer, the amount of money drops to $700 and Player A makes an offer for its division. If Player B rejects this offer, the amount of money drops to $0 and player A keeps the $700. Both players are rational, fully informed, and want to maximize their payoffs. Which player will do best in this game? Assume that monetary divisions must take the form of dollars (rather than cents or smaller denominations) and, in each round, a player will offer at least $1. The player that will do best in this game is because when following his optimal strategy he should receive a payoff of $. (Enter a numeric response using an integer.)

Mike and Sophie are splitting up and need to decide who will get the car they purchased together. Using the method of sealed bids, Mike bids $5,000 and Sophie bids $4,500 for the car. Since Mike's bid is higher, he gets the car, and has to compensate Sophie with cash. How much will he have to pay Sophie in order to keep the division fair?
There are two firms in the market. Denote the price and the quantity of firm j by p; and q; , respectively. Those two products are differentiated and the demand system is given by 91 = 100 – 2p1 + P2 92 = 100 + pi – 2p2 For simplicity, assume zero production costs, meaning that profit is equal to revenue. Consider the two-stage game in which firm 1 decides the price first and then firm 2 choose its price after observing firm 1's price. If firm 1's price is 24, what is the best response price of firm 2? Report only the value . Answer:
Player 1 can stay at home or fly to New York, in which case Player 2 can meet Player 1, who can then buy a drink for Player 2. See the game below.

Suppose that Lionel Messi is negotiating a contract with FC Barcelona. Messi has an offer from Real Madrid for $20 million a year. If he signs with FC Barcelona, they will earn $90 million in revenue from the signing. FC Barcelona's next best option is to sign Cristiano Ronaldo. They would earn $70 million from signing Ronaldo and would pay him a contract of $10 million. Messi's bargaining power is w = 1/2. a) What is the negotiated salary between Messi and FC Barcelona under Nash Bargaining? What is Messi's surplus and what is FC Barcelona's surplus? b) Due to an injury, FC Barcelona would only earn $50 million from signing Ronaldo but everything else remains the same. What is the negotiated salary between Messi and FC Barcelona under Nash Bargaining? What is Messi's surplus and what is FC Barcelona's surplus?
Question 2 Suppose there are two players, an entrant and an incumbent firm playing the following game: the entrant decides whether to stay out or enter. The incumbent decides whether to innovate or not. If the entrant stays out, the entrant firm gets a payoff of 0 whereas the incumbent firm gets a payoff od 1500, independent of the action of the incumbent firm. If the entrant enters and the incumbent doesn't innovate, the entrant gets 1200 whereas the incumbent gets 500. If the entrant enters and the incumbent innovates, the entrant and the incumbent get a payoff of 1000 each. a) Draw the normal form of the game and solve for the Nash equilibrium/equilibria. b) Suppose the game is dynamic: first the entrant decides whether to enter or stay out. If the entrant enters, the incumbent decides whether to innovate or not. If the entrant stays out, the incumbent doesn't get to play. Draw the extensive form of the fame, mark the subgames on paper and solve for the subgame-perfect Nash…
Jane is interested in buying a car from a used car dealer. Her maximum willingness to pay for thecar is 12 ($12,000). Bo, the dealer, is willing to sell the car as long as he receives at least 9($9,000). What is the Nash bargaining solution to this game?
Table 3. This table shows a game played between two firms, Firm A and Firm B. In this game each firm must decide how much output (Q) to produce: 5 units or 6 units. The profit for each firm is given in the table as (Profit for Firm A. Profit for Firm B). Firm A Q=5 Q=6 Firm B Q=5 (24, 24) (30, 10) Q=6 (10,30) (19, 19) Refer to Table 3. The dominant strategy For Firm A is to produce Select one: O a. 5 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 5 units. b. 5 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 6 units. c. 6 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 5 units. d. 6 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 6 units.
Brian and Matt own the only two bicycle repair shops in town. Each must choose between a low price for repair work and a high price. The yearly economic profits from each strategy are indicated in Figure bellow. The upper right side of each rectangle shows Brian's profits; the lower left side shows Matt's profits. Matt's Actions Low Price High Price Low Price Brian's Actions $1,500 $1,500 $200 $3,000 High Price $5,000 $200 $4,000 $4,000 Which of the following statements is correct for a one-trial game? The market equilibrium price is the low price. A market equilibrium price cannot be established unless Brian and Matt collude. A market equilibrium price cannot be established unless Brian or Matt engages in tit-for-tat strategy. A market equilibrium price cannot be established without repeated trials. The market equilibrium price is the high price.
Prove that in the variation on the centipede game given in figure 14.5(b) the unique sequential equilibrium described is, in fact, the unique Nash equilibrium. (Hint: Take some presumed Nash equilibrium and suppose information set 2n+ 1 [for player 2] is the first unreached information set. Derive an immediate contradiction. Then suppose that node (2n) t is the first unreached information set and derive a contradiction that is one degree removed from immediate.)
In a three stage alternating offers bargaining game, player 1 demands a fraction x of $100. If this is accepted by player 2, the $100 is split between the players with outcome ($100x,$100(1 - x)). Otherwise, at stage 2, player 2 makes a demand for a fraction y. If this is accepted by player 1, the $100 is divided accordingly but otherwise player 1 can make another offer and demand a fraction z. If that offer is rejected by player 2, the outcome is (0,0). Both players have a discount factor of 1/2. (a) Find a perfect equilibrium for this game. (b) Is there a first-mover advantage?
Three players (player 1, player 2 and player 3) each chooses a positive integer QE {1, 2, 3, . 100}. If all three players choose the same integer Q, each player gets $100/3. If all three players choose different integers, the player with the largest integer gets $100, and the two other players get $0. If two players choose the same integer Q, and the third player chooses a different integer Q', then the player playing Q' gets $0, and the two players who played Q get $50 each. Find 2 Nash equilibriums in this game. ....
