Consider the following dynamic game. There are two players (P1, P2). Player 2 tries to rob Player 1. If Player 1 pays $100, the game is over with Player 1 (victim) paying $100 to Player 2 (robber) (P1: -$100, P2: +$100). If Player 1 refuses to pay $100, then Player 2 has two choices: one is to hurt Player 1 (P1: -$5,000, P2: -$1,000) and the other is to walk away (P1: 0, P2: 0). Explain how to find an equilibrium in this game.
Exercise 6.1Suppose that two airlines decide to collude. Analyse the game between these two companies. Suppose that each of them can charge for tickets a high price or a low price. If one of them charges 100 euros, it gets few profits if the other also charges 100 euros and high profits if the other charges 200 euros. On the other hand, if the company charges 200 euros, it obtains very little profit if the other charges 100 euros and an average profit if the other also charges 200 euros. a) Represent the matrix of results of this game. b) What is the Nash equilibrium in this game? Explain your answer. c) Is there an outcome that would be better than the Nash equilibrium for the two airlines? How could it be achieved? Who would lose out if it were reached?
. Find the Nash equilibrium of the following modified Rock-Paper-Scissors game: • When rock (R) beats scissors (S), the winner’s payoff is 10 and the loser’s payoff is −10. • When paper (P) beats rock, the winner’s payoff is 5 and the loser’s payoff is −5. • When scissors beats paper, the winner’s payoff is 2 and the loser’s payoff is −2. • In case of ties, both players receive 0 payoff. You are suposed to create a system of equations and then solve for them and find 3 probabilities- please show how to do that
Consider the following game played by four individuals, players 1, 2, 3, and 4. Each individual has $10,000. Each player can donate between $0 and $10,000 to build a public park that costs $20,000. If they collect enough money, they construct the park, which is worth $9,000 to each of them. However, if they collect less than $20,000, they cannot build a park. Furthermore, regardless of whether the park is built or not, individuals lose any donations that they make. a) Describe the Nash equilibria for a simultaneous game. What makes them equilibria? Hint: There are many equilibria, so you may want to use a mathematical expression! b) Suppose that players 1, 2, and 3, each donate $4,000 for the park. How much will player 4 donate and why. What are the resulting payoffs for the players? c) Suppose instead that player 1 donated first, player 2 second, player 3 third, and player 4 last. Furthermore, players could only donate in intervals of 1,000 (0, $1,000, $2,000, etc.). How much will…

Consider a game where player A moves first, choosing between Left and Right. Then, after observing player A’s choice, player B moves next choosing between Up and Down. Which of the following is true? This is a game where players A and B have the same number of strategies. Player A will get a higher payoff than player B as A moves first. This is game will only have one Nash equilibrium. This is a game of perfect information.
Consider the following game. There are two payers, Player 1 and Player 2. Player 1 chooses a row (10, 20, or 30), and Player 2 chooses a column (10/20/30). Payoffs are in the cells of the table, with those on the left going to Player 1 and those on the right going to player 2. For example, a payoff 100/200 would mean Player 1 receives 100 and Player 2 receives 200.What is [are] the Nash Equilibrium [Equilibria] of this game?A) (10/10) and (20/20)B) (30/30)C) (10/20) and (20/10)D) (20/20)E) (30/30)
Use the following normal-form game to answer the questions below. Player 2 Strategy C D Player 1 A 50, 50 120, 25 B 25, 120 55, 55 a. Identify the one-shot Nash equilibrium.multiple choice 1 (B,C) (B,D) (A,C) (A,D) b. Suppose the players know this game will be repeated exactly three times. Can they achieve payoffs that are better than the one-shot Nash equilibrium?multiple choice 2 No Yes c. Suppose this game is infinitely repeated and the interest rate is 6 percent. Can the players achieve payoffs that are better than the one-shot Nash equilibrium?multiple choice 3 No Yes d. Suppose the players do not know exactly how many times this game will be repeated, but they do know that the probability the game will end after a given play is θ. If θ is sufficiently low, can players earn more than they could in the one-shot Nash equilibrium?multiple choice 4 Yes No
We consider a game between two players, Alice and Bob. Alice chooses a number x and Bob chooses a number y. Alice's payoff is given by the following function:50 x + 79 x y - 89 x 2 . (the last entry is "x squared".)Suppose that Bob plays y = 23. Calculate Alice's best response (round your answer to 2 decimals).
Husband and wife want to spend Friday evening at cinema. They can watch the same movie, or different ones. They choose between two movies: “Heroes of War” and “Loving Stranger”. If they go to the same movie, they both feel satisfaction: in the case they watch “Heroes of War” husband’s satisfaction is higher, but in case they watch “Loving Stranger” wife’s satisfaction is higher. If they decide to watch different movies they feel no satisfaction at all. Help them to make the best decision (in terms of game theory – find Nash equilibrium).
Consider the following static, single-shot game played between two cyclists, Chico and Loco, who find themselves riding towards each other down a narrow lane. Chico wants to pass by safely, and he can only do this by cycling on the opposite side of the lane to Loco. So, he has two options: to cycle on the Right of the lane, or to cycle on the Left. Loco meanwhile is having a bad day and wants to crash into Chico, and the way he can achieve this is by cycling on the same side of the lane as Chico. So again, he has two options: to cycle on the Right of the lane, or to cycle on the Left. He does not care at all about hurting himself if they collide. (c) By constructing the best response lines of both players, identify all Nash equilibrium outcomes in the above game i.e., in pure and mixed strategies. (d) Provide an intuitive interpretation of the equilibrium outcome(s) identified in part (c) above.
UNIT 9 CHAPTER 5 In a gambling game, Player A and Player B both have a $1 and a $5 bill. Each player selects one of the bills without the other player knowing the bill selected. Simultaneously they both reveal the bills selected. If the bills do not match, Player A wins Player B's bill. If the bills match, Player B wins Player A's bill. Develop the game theory table for this game. The values should be expressed as the gains (or losses) for Player A. Is there a pure strategy? Why or why not? Determine the optimal strategies and the value of this game. Does the game favor one player over the other? Suppose Player B decides to deviate from the optimal strategy and begins playing each bill 50% of the time. What should Player A do to improve Player A’s winnings? Comment on why it is important to follow an optimal game theory strategy.
