- Two firms bid for a contract to build a university building. Their construction costs are independent and uniformly drawn from [0, 1]. Both bidders submit their bids si- multaneously. The winner is the bidder who submits a lowest bid. Tie-breaking rule is random. This kind of bidding game is called "reverse auction" because the bidders bid for the right to provide a service and the winner is paid for the service. The FCC in 2017 has adopted similar auctions designed to repurpose spectrum for new uses. (a) In the first auction, the winner gets paid the loser's bid. For example, if the winner's cost is 0.5, his bid is 0.56, and the loser's bid is 0.6, then the winner gets the contract and the university pays the winner 0.6. The winner's net profit from the contract is 0.6-0.5 = 0.1. Solve for a Bayesian Nash equilibrium of this auction. What is the equilibrium bid of a firm bid if his cost is actually 0.5? (b) In the second auction, the winner gets paid the his/her own winning bid. For…Two bidders compete in a second price auction (i.e., the winning bidder pays the losing bidder’s bid, and the losing bidder does not pay anything). They submit sealed bids, and the one with the highest bid wins the contract and pays the other bidder’s bid. Each bidder i’s private valuation is vi and is distributed independently and uniformly between 0 and 50. 1. For any given bidder, prove that he has a dominant strategy bid and show what it is. 2. Assuming each bidder bids his dominant strategy noted above, if a bidder with vi = 40 wins, what price does he expect to pay?Q56 A Nash equilibrium is an outcome... a. Achieved by cooperation between players in the game. b. That is achieved by collusion where no party has an incentive to change their behaviour. c. Where each player's strategy depends on the behaviour of its opponents. d. That is achieved when players in the game have jointly maximized profits and divided those profits according to market share of each player. e. Where each player's best strategy is to maintain its present behaviour given the present behaviour of the other players.
- Cournot model: linear demand; identical firms. Q(P)=D-P TC(C)=cQ, where D>c a) Suppose that there are 2 firms. They can either choose to produce the Cournot quantity, or choose to produce one half of the monopoly quantity. Write down the 2X2 “payoff matrix” for this game. b) If D= 6 and c = 2, suppose that the game is repeated infinitely often with a discount factor of beta. For what values of beta will it be possible to sustain collusion? c) Now consider the same game with 3 firms. Compute the profits in the static Cournot- Nash equilibrium, and the profits when the 3 firms each produce one third of the monopoly quantity. For what values of beta will it be possible to sustain collusion in this case?Consider three individuals with the following preferences: Suppose the following dynamic voting protocol is in effect: first, there is a vote between a and b; then the winner goes against c; and the winner of this contest will be implemented. Focus on SPE where voters do not use “weakly dominated” strategies at any stage. (a) Show that these preferences are single peaked, but sincere voting is not equilibrium behavior. (b) Characterize the SPE of this game under strategic voting by all players. (c) Consider a generalization in which the society H consists of H individuals and there are finite number of policies, R = {p1, p2,...,pM}. For simplicity, suppose that H is an odd number. Voting takes M − 1 stages. In the first stage, there is a vote between p1 and p2. In the second stage, there is a vote between the winner of the first stage and p3, until we have a final vote against pM. The winner of the final vote is the policy choice of the society. Prove that if…The FCC has hired you as a consultant to design an auction to sell wireless spectrum rights. The FCC indicates that its goal of using auctions to sell these spectrum rights is to generate revenue. Since most bidders are large telecommunications companies, you rationally surmise that all participants in the auction are risk neutral. Which auction type—first-price, second-price, English, or Dutch—would you recommend if all bidders value spectrum rights identically but have different estimates of the true underlying value of spectrum rights? Explain
- We have studied the 2-period alternating offer bargaining model with constant costs of delay. In other words, in that model, there were two agents 1 and 2 , each with a constant delay cost c1 and c2 respectively. That is the cost to each player i of each period of delay is ci . Now consider the 3 -period version of the model. In this model there are 3 periods t = 0, 1, 2 . As before the cost of each additional period of delay is ci to player i, i.e., if the period t = 2 proposal z = (z1, z2) is accepted then player i’s payoff is zi − 2ci and if the period t = 2 proposal is rejected, then it is (−2c1, −2c2). Assume c1 > c2. Find a SPE of the game?In this version of the ultimatum game experiment, one participant is given £100, and is told to offer to split that amount with another participant. The second player can either refuse to accept the division, in which case the participant receiving the £100 has to give it back, or can accept the division, in which case, the player receiving the money splits the £100 as proposed. For the participant who has to accept or reject the offer A) The best strategy is to accept any offer which meets the social norm for fairness. B) The best strategy is to threaten to turn down any transfer of less than £100 to ensure that the person receiving the money makes a fair offer. C) There is a dominant strategy to accept any offer because gaining some money is better than gaining no money D) There is a dominant strategy to turn down any offer other than £50 because an unequal split would be unfair.10) Consider a repeated game in which the following one-shot game between two players is repeated "infinitely." Denote by "d" the discount factor. (Assume both players have the same discount factor.) Player 2 Cooperate Defect Player 1 Cooperate 5, 4 0, 5 Defect 6, 0 1, 1 The two players try to support cooperation by using "grim trigger strategy" as discussed in class. Answer YES or NO to each of the following three questions. (a) Can they support cooperation if the common discount factor, d, is equal to 0.23? (b) Can they support cooperation if the common discount factor, d, is equal to 0.4? (c) Can they support cooperation if the common discount factor, d, is equal to 0.15?
- The Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission use the HI calculation for a market to evaluate proposed horizontal mergers. For example, if the post-merger HHI is below ——- , then the market is not concentrated, so mergers in them are not challenged; however, at the other extreme, if the post-merger HHI is above ——- then the market is highly concentrated, and mergers that increase the HHI by 100 to 200 points may be challenged and mergers that increase the HHI by more than 200 points will likely be challenged.
