From your own understanding on the concept of “Game Theory”, what can you conclude about the relationship between rules of the game and the outcome that results?
There are many real-world examples of the prisoner's dilemma. Climate change is one such example. In your writting, include the following:
A. How is a country's decision whether to reduce carbon emissions in order to minimize climate change an example of a prisoner's dilemma? What is the optimal outcome? What is the likely outcome? Explain.
B.Is there any way to get the optimal outcome? Why or why not?
Economics
Consider the ultimatum and dictator games.
a) Briefly explain the general experimental findings
about how individuals play these games. How do
they compare with the game theoretic
predictions?
b) How do social preferences explain behavior in
these experiments?
c) Real world experiences have an impact on
experimental behavior. Explain how real world
experiences could affect behavior in each of
theses experiments.
d) Suppose that you would like to increase the
amount that is sent in these experiments. Can you
think of a way to to this?
e) Suppose that individuals play first a dictator
game and then an ultimatum game with the roles
reversed, i.e. the sender in the dictator game is the
receiver in the ultimatum game. Given what you
know about individuals' behavior, how do
think that players will play? Explain.

- The prisoners’ dilemma describes many of life’s situations, and it shows that cooperation can be difficult to maintain, even when cooperation would make both players in the game better off. Clearly, this lack of cooperation is a problem for those involved in these situations. But is lack of cooperation a problem from the standpoint of society as a whole?arrow_forwardTwo players, Amy and Beth, play the following game called "race to 50". Amy goes first, and the two players take turns choosing a number between 1 and 7. On each turn, they add a number to a running today. The player whose move brings the total to 50 wins the game. a. If both players play optimally, who will win the game? Does this game have a first-mover 3. advantage? Explain your reasoning. b. What are the optimal strategies (complete plans of action) for each player?arrow_forwardrituo? A. Identify the pure-strategy Nash equilibrium/a in the game below, and identify the Pareto efficient strategy combinations. (You may simply state these, you do not need to show how you derived your answer.) B. Identify the mixed-strategy equilibrium to the game. Show your work. You may use the equations from the "generic" 2X2 game if you wish. Doing it the long way is fine, however. C. State the payoff for each player in the mixed-strategy equilibrium. Is the mixed-strategy combination Pareto efficient? Player 1 U D 20 Player 2 L (10,15) (1,5) R (0,6) (1,6)arrow_forward
- Economics Game theory: Consider a collective action game with thirty individuals (N = 30). When the number of participants in the joint project is n, each individual, including shirkers, receives a benefit of B(n) = 18n and each participant incurs a cost of C(n) = 32 – 2n.

Check if any of the Nash equilibria is socially optimal.

- Use the following payoff matrix for a one-shot game to answer the accompanying questions. a. Determine the Nash equilibrium outcomes that arise if the players make decisions independently, simultaneously, and without any communication. Which of these outcomes would you consider most likely? Explain. b. Suppose player 1 is permitted to “communicate” by uttering one syllable before the players simultaneously and independently make their decisions. What should player 1 utter, and what outcome do you think would occur as a result? c. Suppose player 2 can choose its strategy before player 1, that player 1 observes player 2’s choice before making her decision, and that this move structure is known by both players. What outcome would you expect? Explain.arrow_forwardQ2.
