Gains from cooperation are larger than the rewards from pursuing self-interest. CO Losses from cooperation are smaller than the payoffs from collusion. Gains from collusion are smaller than the rewards from pursuing self-interest.

Consider a game between 2 payers (Ann and Bill) where each chooses between 3 actions (Up, Middle and Down). 1) Create a payoff matrix that reflects this. 2) Fill in payoff numbers that makes this game a Prisoner's Dilemma. 3) Explain why your game is a Prisoner's Dilemma.
Evaluate this statement: “The mutually preferred outcome in the prisoner’s dilemma is a Nash Equilibrium.”
Mary and Raj are the only two growers who provide organically grown corn to a local grocery store. Table below represents the choices available to Mary and Raj and the payoffs associated with each outcome. What is the best choice for Raj if he is sure that Mary will cooperate? If Mary thinks Raj will cheat, what should Mary do and why? What is the prisoner’s dilemma result? (A = Work independently; B = Cooperate and Raise prices. Each results entry lists Raj earnings first, and Mary's earnings second.) Mary A B Raj A ($100, $100) ($200, $0) B ($0, $200) ($150, $150)
Which of the following is true of a prisoner's dilemma? Players will be best off if they cooperate, but they have an incentive to follow their individual self-interest. Players will be best off if they cooperate, and they will have enough incentive to do so. Players will be best off if they follow their individual self-interest, but they have an incentive to cooperate. Players will have no incentive to take any particular action.
Present an example of a prisoner’s dilemma in your own life. Describe the “cooperative” action for each player that involves trusting the other in some sense. Explain why mutual cooperation will lead to an outcome that is preferred to mutual defection. Describe why there is an incentive for each to defect, or not cooperate, or not be trustworthy. Discuss what might be done to promote mutual cooperation, or what is done.
4. Firm 1 and firm 2 are car producers. Each has the option of producing either a big car or a small car. The payoffs to each of the four possible combinations are given in the following payoff matrix. Each firm must make its choice without knowing what the other has chosen. The first number in each cell refers to the payoffs for Firm 2. FIRM 2 Big Car Small Car COMPANY ABC FIRM 1 Low Price Big Car 400, 400 High Price 800, 1000 a. Does either firm have a dominant strategy in this case? Explain your answer clearly. b. Identify all Nash equilibria for this game. Suppose there are 2 players in a non-cooperative game theory situation. Company ABC and Company JKL both sell books and can choose to charge a high price or a low price for a particular book that is very popular. The following matrix contains the payoffs that each company receives under 4 scenarios. The first number in each cell refers to the payoffs for Company ABC. COMPANY JKL Small Car Low Price 1000, 800 200, 300 100, 600…
Two firms are playing an infinitely-repeated prisoner's dilemma pricing game of the following form: Firm 1 Firm 2 Low price High Price Low price 4, 4 20, 0 High price 0, 20 12,12 Consider the decision to cheat ONLY ONCE for a firm in this game against the opponent that is a Tit-for-Tat player. Cheating firm gets an extra in payoffs for the first round, but has to face $0 payoffs for the second round in order to be able to bring the opponent to the collusive outcome again in the third round. What is the minimum rate of return (r) that would make defecting only once? Show your calculations.
