Consider the following payoff matrix that is below : A. Does Player A have a dominant startegy? Explain why or why not b. Does player B have a dominant strategy? Explain why or why not. Player B Strategy 1 2 Player A Strategy 1 $2,000 \ $1,000 -$1,000 \ -$2,000 2 -$2,000 \ -$1,000 $1,000 \ $2,000
Consider the following information for a static game. If you advertise and your rival advertises, you each will earn $5 million in profits. If you choose not to advertise and your rival chooses not to advertise, you will each earn $10 million in profits. However, if one of you advertises and the other does not, the firm that advertises will earn $15 million and the firm that does not advertise will earn $1 million. Assuming that each player cares only about his or her own profits, the Nash equilibrium is? Explain your answer in three long paragraphs (intro body and conclusion)
In the following game, find all cases of dominance among Player-1 strategies and among colin strategies
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?
Two firms are competing to establish one of two new wireless communication standards, A or B. A strategy is a choice of standard, and an outcome of this game is a choice of standard by each firm – for example, (A, B) represents the case where Firm 1 decides to develop standard A and Firm 2 develops standard B. Here, the first letter will always correspond to Firm 1’s decision, and the second letter to Firm 2’s decision. Firm 1 has the following preferences over outcomes, in order of highest to lowest preferred: it prefers (A, A) to (B, A) to (A, B) to (B, B). Firm 2 prefers (A, B) to (A, A) to (B, A) to (B, B). Suppose that firms simultaneously decide which standard to develop. What is the pure strategy Nash equilibrium?

Suppose that there are only two firms in a market in which demand is given by p = 64 - Q, where Q is the total production of the two firms. Each firm can choose either a low level of output, qL = 15, or a high level of output, qH = 20. The unit cost of production for both firms is $4. Write down the normal-form representation of the game in which the strategic variable for each firm is the quantity of output and the firms make their choices simultaneously. Find the pure strategy Nash equilibrium of this game (quantities produced and market price).
Using the payoff matrix, suppose this game is infinitely repeated and that the interest rate is sufficiently “low.” Identify trigger strategies that permit players 1 and 2 to earn equilibrium payoffs of 140 and 180, respectively, in each period
A game involves two players: player A and player B. Player A has three strategies a1, a2 and a3 while player B has three strategies b1, b2 and b3. Player B b1 b2 b3 a1 -40,30 70,20 -10,120 Player A a2 40,60 80,80 60,20 a3 -30,40 -50,110 150, -70 Assuming that this is a one-time game, answer the following questions: Is there any dominant strategy for each player? What is the secure strategy of each player. What is the Nash equilibrium of the game?
For the game in FIGURE 7.6, derive players’ best-reply functions, plot them as shown in Figure 7.5, and find the Nash equilibrium.
Your little twin sisters (whom you lovingly refer to as Thing 1 and Thing 2) are driving you crazy! You’ve baked them a lovely birthday cake, but they won’t stop fighting over who gets the biggest slice. To settle the dispute, you draw on a time-honoured ritual: You ask Thing 1 to cut the cake, and Thing 2 to choose which piece she wants. Use backward induction to find the equilibrium outcome for this game. Is the equilibrium consistent with your experience?  Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

Consider a location game with nine regions like the one discussed in this chapter. But instead of having the customers distributed uniformly across the nine regions, suppose that region 1 has a different number of customers than the other regions. Specifically, suppose that regions 2 though 9 each has ten customers, whereas region 1 has x customers. For what values of x does the strategy of locating in region 2 dominate locating in region 1?
