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?
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?

- Two 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?
