The three residents are trying to determine how large, in acres, they should build the public park. The table below shows each resident's willingness to pay for each acre of the park. The cost to build the park is $21 per acre. The government wants to tax each person $7 to build each acre ($21/3). How many acres will be built if majority rules.

Assume the total amount of the river is 100, and each state wants as much as possible. The river starts in North Arizona, so they make an offer to New California about how to divide the river. New California can accept or reject the offer. They can also ask the federal government to decide the issue. Both states expect that the federal government would give New California 60% of the waters and North Arizona the remainder. However, the delay of asking the federal government to decide the issue would cost each state utility worth 5% of the river waters. Draw a bargaining game to represent this situation. Solve the game to find its subgame perfect Nash equilibrium. How much water would each state get?arrow_forward

If a candidate receives [ Choose ] more than half the first- place votes in an election, then that candidate should be declared the winner. If a candidate is favored [ Choose ] when compared separately with every other candidate in an election, then that candidate should be declared the winner. If a candidate wins an [ Choose] election and, in a reelection, the only changes are changes that favor the candidate, then that candidate should win the reelection. If a candidate wins an [ Choose ] election and, in a recount, the only changes are that one or more of the other candidates are removed from the ballot, then that candidate should still win the election.arrow_forward

Consider the following game. There is a club with three members: Ann, Bob and Carla. They have to choose which of the three is going to be president next year. Currently Ann is the president. Each member is both a candidate and a voter. Voting is as follows: each member votes for one candidate (voting for oneself is allowed); if two or more people vote for the same candidate then that person is chosen as the next president; if there is complete disagreement, in the sense that there is exactly one vote for each candidate, then the person from whom Ann voted is selected as the next president. (a) Represent this voting procedure as a game frame, indicating inside each cell of each table which candidate is elected. (b) Assume that the players' preferences are as follows: AnnAm Carla Ann Bob, Carla Bob Ann, Bob Carla Ann Caria Carla. Using utility values 0, 1 and 2, convert the game frame into a game.

The American and Canadian governments need to make a decision on whether to clean the river or not. They must make this decision simultaneously. If both countries invest in cleaning the river, they each get a payoff of 871. If one country invests in cleaning the river, but the other one doesn't, the country that spends the money on the cleanup gets a payoff of 161, while the other country gets to enjoy the benefits of the clean river without having to spend any money, and therefore gets a payoff of 1159. If neither country invests in cleaning the river, they must both deal with the consequences of the pollution, and they each get a payoff of -639. Suppose that the U.S. and Canada are again making decisions simultaneously. Find the Nash Equilibrium in mixed strategies.
