- There are two firms, whose production activity consumes some of the clean air that surrounds our planet. The total amount of clean air is K > 0, and any consumption of clean air comes out of this common resource. If firm i ∈ {1, 2} uses ki of clean air for its production, the remaining amount of clean air is K − k1 − k2. Each player derives utility from using ki for production and from the remainder of clean air. The payoff of firm i is given by ui(ki , kj ) = ln(ki) + ln(K − ki − kj ) j ≠ i ∈ {1, 2}. (a) Assuming that each firm chooses ki ∈ (0, K), to maximize its payoff function, derive the players’ best response functions and find a Nash equilibrium. (b) Is the equilibrium you found in (a) unique or not? What are equilibrium payoffs?Billy John Pigskin of Mule Shoe, Texas, has a von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function of the form u(c) = √c. Billy John also weighs about 300 pounds and can outrun jackrabbits and pizza delivery trucks. Billy John is beginning his senior year of college football. If he is not seriously injured, he will receive a $1,000,000 contract for playing professional football. If an injury ends his football career, he will receive a $10,000 contract as a refuse removal facilitator in his home town. There is a 10% chance that Billy John will be injured badly enough to end his career. If Billy John pays $p for an insurance policy that would give him $1,000,000 if he suffered a career-ending injury while in college, then he would be sure to have an income of $1,000,000 − p no matter what happened to him. Write an equation that can be solved to find the largest price that Billy John would be willing to pay for such an insurance policy. Here is my question: Why is Billy's income 1,000,000 - p even…Andy, Brad, and Carly are playing a new online video game: Zombie Civil War. Each has an army of 100 zombies and must decide how to allocate them to battle each of the other two players’ armies. Three simultaneous battles are occurring: one between Andy and Brad, one between Andy and Carly, and one between Brad and Carly. Let Ab denote how many zombie soldiers Andy allocates to his battle with Brad, with the remaining 100 - Ab soldiers in Andy’s zombie army assigned to the battle with Carly. Bc denotes the number of zombie soldiers that Brad allocates to his battle with Carly, and 100 - Bc zombies go to his battle with Andy. Ca is the the number of zombie soldiers that Carly allocates to the battle with Andy, and 100 - Ca in her battle with Brad. To see how payoffs are determined, consider Andy. If Ab > 100 - Bc, so that Andy has more zombies than Brad in the Andy-Brad battle, then Andy wins the battle and receives w points where w > 2. If Ab = 100 - Bc, so that Andy and Brad…
- Two roommates John and Joe are playing a simultaneous game of cleaning the apartment. If neither of them clean, the apartment gets filthy and both get a utility of 2. If John cleans and Joe doesn't, John gets a utility of 1 and Joe gets a utility of 4. If Joe cleans and John doesn't, Joe gets a utility of 1 and John gets a utility of 4 and if both clean up the apartment, they each get a utility of 3. Is the equilibrium efficient?Consider a two-person exchange economy in which initial endowments for both individuals are such that (e1 = e1) = (1,1). Suppose the two individuals have the following indirect utility functions: V1 (x, y) = ln M1 - a ln Px - (1-a) ln Py V2 (x, y) = ln M2 -b ln Px - (1-b) ln Py Where Mi is the income level of person i and Px and Py are the prices for goods x and goods y, respectively. a) Calculate the market clearing prices.The chicken game has often been used to model crises. Recall that in this game, the two players drive straight at each other. They can choose to swerve or keep going straight. If one swerves, and the other goes straight, assume that the one that swerves gets -10 utility and the one that goes straight gets 10 utility, since the one that swerves is deemed the loser. If both swerve, both get 0 utility. If both go straight, they crash and get -50 utility. Assume both players have a discount rate of 0.9 Draw the stage game of date night List all pure strategy Nash equilibria of the single stage game Consider an infinite horizon version of Chicken. Can you get an SPNE in which the both players swerve using a grim trigger type strategy? Consider the following strategies: both players swerve, as long as neither ever went straight. If one player ever plays straight, in all subsequent rounds the player that swerved goes straight and the player that went straight swerves. Can you think…
- Two players play the Ultimatum Game, in which they are to split $20. A purely rational agent would only reject an offer of …A husband and wife would produce incomes Yh and Yw in their fallback situations. The utility each derives in any circumstance is just equal to his or her consumption expenditure in that circumstance. In their fallback situations, their consumption expenditure levels are just equal to their incomes. Thus their fallback levels of utility are Yh and Yw. If they cooperate, they produce Z>Yh + Yw. They engage in Nash cooperative bargaining to determine how to allocate Z across the consumption of the husband, Ch, and consumption of the wife, Cw, subject to the budget constraint that Ch + Cw = Z. Under any bargained allocation, the two would derive utilities of Ch and Cw. a) The surplus associated with cooperation is S = Z − Yh − Yw. Show that each spouse consumes his or her fallback income plus half the surplus in the Nash cooperative bargaining solution.

- Some collector has a painting that he no longer values. However, there are two buyers that would be happy to acquire it. Buyer 1 assigns a value of $900 to the painting, and buyer 2 of $1,000. Explain that this situation can be represented as a cooperative game with transferable utility. Obtain the set of players and write down the characteristic function (supposing that the grand coalition’s value is $1000). Find the Core and the Shapley value of the game.Two athletes of equal ability are competing for a prize of $12,000. Each is deciding whether to take a dangerous performance-enhancing drug. If one athlete takes the drug and the other does not, the one who takes the drug wins the prize. If both or neither take the drug, they tie and split the prize. Taking the drug imposes health risks that are equivalent to a loss of XX dollars. Complete the following payoff matrix describing the decisions the athletes face. Enter Player One's payoff on the left in each situation, Player Two's on the right. Player Two's Decision Take Drug Don't Take Drug Player One's Decision Take Drug , , Don't Take Drug , , True or False: The Nash equilibrium is taking the drug if X is greater than $6,000. True False Suppose there was a way to make the drug safer (that is, have lower XX). Which of the following statements are true about the effects of making the drug safer? Check all that…When two individuals enter an exchange, you can be sure that one person benefits and that the other person loses. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Explain your answer.
