Question

1. Two risk neutral players compete to win a prize, P. The probability of winning
depends on effort; the probability that player i wins equals e(e++e2), where ei is the
effort level of player i. The cost of effort is ciei.
a) Find the Nash equilibrium effort levels.
b) What is the probability player 1 wins at equilibrium?

Consider a first-price sealed bid auction of a single object with two bidders j = 1,2 and no reserved price. Bidder 1's valuation is v1 = 2. and bidder 2's valuation is v2= 5. Both v1 and v2 are known to both bidders. Bids must be in whole dollar amounts. In the event of a tie, the object is awarded by a flip of a fair coin. Is there a Nash equilibrium? What is it? Is it unique? Is it efficient?
Consider an economy with two states of nature and one time period. An option pays $3 in state 1 and $0 in state 2, and is being traded for the price of $1. A forward contract pays $3 in state 1 and -$2 in state 2. Using this information, compute the risk-free rate and the risk-neutral probabilities for each state of nature.
If a study determines the difference in average salary for subpopulations of people with blue eyes and people with brown eyes is NOT significant, then the populations of blue-eyed people and brown-eyed people are ________ different salaries. a) unlikely to have b) very unlikely to have c) guaranteed to have d) guaranteed to not have
A seller would like to sell a painting using second price (Vickrey) auction. The seller knows that there are three buyers and each buyer is equally likely to have High (H), Medium (M), or Low (L) valuation for the painting. The valuations of the buyers are independently distributed. Assuming that the buyers will play the Nash equilibrium in the second price auction, how much revenue will the seller make?
6. A smoke detector system uses two devices, an ionization sensor and a photoelectric sensor. If smoke is present, the probability that it will be detected by the ionization sensor (I) is 0.90, by the photoelectric sensor (P), 0.80, and by both devices, 0.72. a) Draw a Venn diagram to represent the problem. b) If smoke is present, determine the probability that the smoke will be detected by the system. c) if smoke is present, determine the probability that the smoke is undetected. d) are the two alarms operating independently. Justify your answer with a calculation.
Suppose that a healthy person has 10% chance of getting sick that would require $40,000 of medical expenses. Suppose that unhealthy person has a 60% chance of getting sick that would require $100,000 in medical expenses. A) What would be an actuarially fair premium for a healthy person? B) What would be an actuarially fair premium for unhealthy person? C) If everyone has to buy health insurance and 20% of the population are unhealthy and 80% of the population are health, what would be an actuarially fair premium for any person?
Two players are engaged in a game of Chicken. There are two possible strategies, Swerve and Drive Straight. A player who chooses to Swerve is called Chicken and gets a payoff of zero, regardless of what the other player does. A player who chooses to Drive Straight gets a payoff of 36 if the other player swerves and a payoff of −36 if the other player also chooses to Drive Straight. Find the Nash equilibrium in mixed strategies. What is the probability of a crash in this mixed strategy Nash equilibrium?
What is the pure strategy Nash equilibrium outcome if there is one Is this a socially optimal outcome? If not, which outcome is preferred
