Question

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
