Does each individual in a prisoners dilemma benefit more from cooperation or from pursuing self-interest? Explain briefly.
Sometimes oligopolies in the same industry are very different in size. Suppose we have a duopoly where one firm (Film A) is large and the other film (Film B) is small, as the prisoners dilemma box in Table 10.4 shows. Assuming that both films know the payoffs, what is the likely outcome in this case?
Imagine that two firms in two different countries want to bring a new product tomarket. Due to economies of scale, if both firms do this, they will both lose £50million. But if only one firm does this, it will gain £300 million.(a) What is the best strategy for firm A, if firm B has not yet entered the market, andwhy?(b) Illustrate this with a game theory diagram, showing appropriate payouts.(c) What is the welfare-maximising strategy for a government, and why?
Define the prisoner’s dilemma game. The prisoner’s dilemma game is a: two-person noncooperative sequential game that demonstrates the difficulty of cooperative behavior in certain circumstances. two-person cooperative simultaneous game that demonstrates the difficulty of cooperative behavior in certain circumstances. two-person noncooperative simultaneous game that demonstrates the difficulty of cooperative behavior in certain circumstances. two-person cooperative sequential game that demonstrates the difficulty of cooperative behavior in certain circumstances. a. What assumptions lead to the dilemma? If the prisoners confess, each would get a light sentence. But each prisoner is interrogated separately and is offered the chance to go free if he or she confesses to the crime and agrees to serve as a witness against the other prisoner. This creates the incentive for both prisoners to not confess. If the prisoners do not confess, each would get a…
Please no written by hand Two players bargain over how to split $10. Each player i ∈ {1, 2} choose a number si ∈ [0, 10] (which does not need to be an integer). Each player’s payoff is the money he receives. We consider two allocation rules. In each case, if s1 + s2 ≤ 10, each player gets his chosen amount si and the rest is destroyed. 1. In the first case, if s1 + s2 > 10, both players get zero. What are the (pure strategy) Nash equilibria? 2. In the second case, if s1 + s2 > 10 and s1 6= s2, the player who chose the smallest amount receives this amount and the other gets the rest. If s1 + s2 > 10 and s1 = s2, they both get $5. What are the (pure strategy) Nash equilibria? 3. Now suppose that s1 and s2 must be integers. Does this change the (pure strategy) Nash equilibria in either case?
Two farmers have unlimited access to a common plot of land and can let their cows graze on it. The matrix below shows the benefits they get from grazing either 1 or 2+ cows on the land. Farmer 2 Farmer1 1 cow 2+ cows 1 cow 8,8 2,10 2+cows 10,2 4,4 What kind of game is this? What is/are the Nash equilibrium/equilibria? What is/are the Pareto efficient outcome(s) in this game? (Hint: Remember that Pareto efficiency occurs when no one person can be made better off without someone else being made worse off) The government offers a reward or subsidy for communities where farmers only allow 1 cow to graze on the common field, resulting in a new payoff matrix:…
6)Game Theory: The Prisoners’ Dilemma: Assume that the Wilson and Spalding athletic equipment companies are in a one-shot game for market share and profits, but that they have the option of choosing only one of two possible price strategies for basketballs: $20 or $80. Obviously if they choose different strategies, the firm with the lower price will win the entire market. The firms face the following payoff matrix (See Chap. 10). Wilson\ \Spalding Wilson $ 20 Price Wilson $ 80 Price Spalding $ 20 Price $ 400, $ 400 $ 1500, $ 0 Spalding $ 80 Price $ 0, $ 1500 $ 1000, $ 1000 What strategy will each firm choose? Why? Which strategy is dominant? Which strategy is preferred by each firm? What will be the outcome of the one-shot game? Where is the Nash equilibrium? Which outcome would be best for the two firms? What will happen if the game is repeated an infinite number of times?
