V8 true or false: Any strategic situation can be modeled as a game by using four elements: players, strategies, payoffs, and information. When the structure of the game is common knowledge for all players, the game is said to have imperfect information. A best response is a strategy that produces the highest payoff among all possible strategies for a player given what the other player is doing. A Nash equilibrium is stable, meaning that a player has an incentive to deviate unilaterally to some other strategy. The prisoner's dilemma represents a situation where the Nash equilibrium does not reflect a mutually beneficial outcome

You worry that the initial outlay of $2 million will stun your producers, so you decide to prepare them with a simpler version of your game that you call: “I WANT $3.” There are four steps in this simpler game: I. There are two contestants/opponents (who do not know each other and cannot communicate with each other during the game). II. Each player is given $3 at the start of the game. III. Independently and simultaneously, each player must choose whether they want to add $0, $1, $2 or $3 to their initial stake of $3. Doing so reduces their opponent’s award by $0, $2, $4, or $6, respectively. IV. Each player knows that their payoff at the end of the game is based on…
