In a small town there are two pizza restaurants . If neither restaurant advertises, its revenue will not change. If only one firm advertises, the firm that advertises will double its revenue and the firm that doesn't advertise will see a decrease in its revenue, but if both firms advertise, their revenue will not change. What outcome would be predicted by game theory in this market? Both restaurants will advertise. Game theory would predict chat sometimes one restaurant would advertise, and the rest of the time both will advertise. ONeither restaurant will advertise Game theory is only a theory and cannot predict real-world events. One restaurant will advertise.

Three politicians are voting on whether to allow themselves a salary increase of$3,500per a year. If they vote in favor of a raise, then they lose some public support, costing them each$1,500 per year. The salary increase passes if two or more politicians vote in favor of it. What is this game’s Nash equilibrium (or equilibria)? Explain. There is no need to draw a payoff matrix.

Showtime’s best response is to always produce a romantic comedy. iii. best response is to always produce a romantic comedy. b. What is the Nash equilibrium in this game?
Two players bargain over $20. Player 1 first proposes a split of(n, 20 - n), where n is an integer in {0, 1, ..., 20}. Player 2 can either accept or reject this proposal. If player accepts it, player 1 obtains $n and player 2 obtains $(20 - n). If player 2 rejects it, the money is taken away from them and both players will get $0. Question: Find two subgame perfect Nash equilibria of this game and state clearly each player's equilibrium strategies (recall that in a dynamic game, a player's strategy is a complete-contingent plan). Explain why the strategy profiles form a subgame perfect equilibrium.
Superstore (S) and Megastore (M) are two competing discount supermarkets. If neither store advertises, S makes $115 in profits and M makes $165. If both stores advertise, S makes $80 and M makes $95. If M advertises and S does not, they make $305 and $55 respectively. If S advertises and M does not, they make $285 and $65 respectively. Based on Game Theory, what will the two firms do? Hint: illustrate the Nash equilibrium to support your answer.
