A seller would like to sell a painting using second price (Vickrey) auction. The seller knows that there are three buyers and each buyer is equally likely to have High (H), Medium (M), or Low (L) valuation for the painting. The valuations of the buyers are independently distributed. Assuming that the buyers will play the Nash equilibrium in the second price auction, how much revenue will the seller make?
Consider a first-price sealed bid auction of a single object with two bidders j = 1,2 and no reserved price. Bidder 1's valuation is v1 = 2. and bidder 2's valuation is v2= 5. Both v1 and v2 are known to both bidders. Bids must be in whole dollar amounts. In the event of a tie, the object is awarded by a flip of a fair coin. Is there a Nash equilibrium? What is it? Is it unique? Is it efficient?

Consider the department store market in Sydney. Two players, David Jones and MYER, are deciding the prices for their new seasonal collection. They could choose either high or low pricing strategy. The payoffs are given by the following table. The first payoff is for David Jones. MYER David Jones Low High Low 6,6 7,4 High 4,8 8,9 5. If David Jones and MYER decide simultaneously, which of the following is true? a) There are two Nash equilibria in this game. b) There is no Nash equilibrium. c) Both shops have a dominant strategy to high pricing strategy. d) There is a unique Nash equilibrium. e) None of the other answers is correct.
A fast food company is offering a prize promotion game. The company claims that in 0.5 % 0.5% of all orders will receive $ 100 $100 cash, 1 % 1% of all orders will receive $ 10 $10 cash, and 10 % 10% of orders will receive a coupon for a free soft drink. The remaining orders will receive no prizes. A group of long-time customers were excited about the new promotion, and over the course of the promotion, they placed 651 orders 651 orders. Of these orders, 2 2 ended up winning $ 100 $100, 6 6 won $ 10 $10, and 52 52 won a free soft drink. The group wants to do a chi-squared goodness of fit test to test the advertised odds. Are the conditions met for this test?

The Nash equilibrium(s) are: A B A 4,4 3,3 B 3,3 5,5 Group of answer choices: -(A,A) and (B,B) -(A,A) only -There are no Nash equilibriums. -(B,B) only
Two players are engaged in a game of Chicken. There are two possible strategies, Swerve and Drive Straight. A player who chooses to Swerve is called Chicken and gets a payoff of zero, regardless of what the other player does. A player who chooses to Drive Straight gets a payoff of 36 if the other player swerves and a payoff of −36 if the other player also chooses to Drive Straight. Find the Nash equilibrium in mixed strategies. What is the probability of a crash in this mixed strategy Nash equilibrium?

Model the situation as a strategic game assuming that both ‘James’ and ‘Robert’ are altruistic, ranking outcomes according to the other person’s comfort and, out of politeness, prefer to stand than to sit if the other person stands. Model the situation as a strategic game and find any Nash equilibrium (equilibria) if it exists. Does a dominant strategy exist for either ‘James’ or ‘Robert’ with these preferences? Show all steps and working in support of the answerContext:The London Metro Bus is crowded for travel during peak hours. During such travel hours two daily passengers ‘James’ and ‘Robert’ enter the Metro. Luckily, two adjacent seats are free in the bus. Each of them must decide whether to sit or stand. For both, sitting alone is more comfortable than sitting next to the other person, which in turn is more comfortable than standing. consider james as "Row Player" and Robert as "Column Player"
