Consider trade relations between the United States and Mexico. Assume that the leaders of the two countries believe the payoffs to alternative trade policies are as follows a. What is the dominant strategy for the United States? For Mexico? Explain. b. Define Nash equilibrium. What is the Nash equilibrium for trade policy? c. In 1993, the U.S.Congress ratified the North American Free Trade Agreement, in which the United States and Mexico agreed to reduce trade barriers simultaneously. Do the perceived payoffs shown here justify this approach to trade policy? Explain. d.

Question 4: (Answer in 200-400 words in total PLEASE ANSWER THIS HOMEWORK QUESTION The purpose of the Paris agreement was to set a coordination mechanism between countries and limit carbon emissions at a global level. In this period of climate emergency, high carbon emissions and the non respect of Paris agreement by numerous countries, have been criticized in the newspapers and described as dangerous for future generations. From a game theory perspective, respecting or not the Paris agreement can be modeled as a strategic game. Let’s assume that we have two countries who can choose between option 1: not respecting and exiting the Paris agreement (increase their carbon emission); and option 2: respecting the Paris agreement (limit their carbon emission). The following matrix gives the payoffs of each choice, where in each cell, the first number is the payoff of country A and the second number is the payoff of country B. Country B Repect the agreement Exiting the…
