- H7. Find all pure strategy Nash equilibria and for each one, state whether or not it is subgame perfect.Consider a two-player, sequential-move game where each player can choose to play right or left. Player 1 moves first. Player 2 observes player 1’s actual move and then decides to move right or left. If player 1 moves right, player 1 receives $0 and player 2 receives $25. If both players move left, player 1 receives –$5 and player 2 receives $10. If player 1 moves left and player 2 moves right, player 1 receives $20 and player 2 receives $20. a. Write this game in extensive form. b. Find the Nash equilibrium outcomes to this game. c. Which of the equilibrium outcomes is most reasonable? Explain.Show how the concept of focal points can lead us towards unique outcomes in games where multiple Nash equilibria exist. Please you tables and multiples examples, clearly explaing what the focal point find is in each example.
- 5 Suppose two players play one of the two normal-form games shown in Figure 1. L U 0,-1 D 2,4 R 2,0 6,0 L U | 4,-1 D 2,-2 R 2,0Now suppose that Player 2 knows which game is being played, but Player 1 does not. Find the pure strategy Bayesian Nash equilibrium of this game.Please no written by hand Two players bargain over how to split $10. Each player i ∈ {1, 2} choose a number si ∈ [0, 10] (which does not need to be an integer). Each player’s payoff is the money he receives. We consider two allocation rules. In each case, if s1 + s2 ≤ 10, each player gets his chosen amount si and the rest is destroyed. 1. In the first case, if s1 + s2 > 10, both players get zero. What are the (pure strategy) Nash equilibria? 2. In the second case, if s1 + s2 > 10 and s1 6= s2, the player who chose the smallest amount receives this amount and the other gets the rest. If s1 + s2 > 10 and s1 = s2, they both get $5. What are the (pure strategy) Nash equilibria? 3. Now suppose that s1 and s2 must be integers. Does this change the (pure strategy) Nash equilibria in either case?Consider the example at the beginning of the chap- ter. Suppose that there are only two blockbusters jockeying for position: Warner Bros.'s Harry Potter and Fox's Narnia. Suppose that blockbusters released in November share a total of $500 million in ticket revenues, whereas blockbusters released in Decembershare a total of $800 million(a) Formulate the game played by Warner Bros. and Fox.
- Exercise 7: The facility location game. Our example is a game in which two firms compete through their choice of locations. Suppose that two firms A and B are each planning to open a store in one of six towns located along six consecutive exits on a highway. We can represent the arrangement of these towns using a six-node graph as in Figure 1 Now, based on leasing agreements, Firm 1 has the option of opening its store in any of towns 1, 3, or 5, while Firm 2 has the option of opening its store in any of towns 2, 4, or 6. These decisions will be executed simultaneously. Once the two stores are opened, customers from the towns will go to the store that is closer to them. So for example, if Firm A open its store in town 3 and Firm B opens its store in town 2, then the store in town 2 will attract customers from 1 and 2, while the store in town 3 will attract customers from 3, 4, 5, and 6. If we assume that the towns contain an equal number of customers, and that payoffs are directly…Exercise 6.1Suppose that two airlines decide to collude. Analyse the game between these two companies. Suppose that each of them can charge for tickets a high price or a low price. If one of them charges 100 euros, it gets few profits if the other also charges 100 euros and high profits if the other charges 200 euros. On the other hand, if the company charges 200 euros, it obtains very little profit if the other charges 100 euros and an average profit if the other also charges 200 euros. a) Represent the matrix of results of this game. b) What is the Nash equilibrium in this game? Explain your answer. c) Is there an outcome that would be better than the Nash equilibrium for the two airlines? How could it be achieved? Who would lose out if it were reached?6)Game Theory: The Prisoners’ Dilemma: Assume that the Wilson and Spalding athletic equipment companies are in a one-shot game for market share and profits, but that they have the option of choosing only one of two possible price strategies for basketballs: $20 or $80. Obviously if they choose different strategies, the firm with the lower price will win the entire market. The firms face the following payoff matrix (See Chap. 10). Wilson\ \Spalding Wilson $ 20 Price Wilson $ 80 Price Spalding $ 20 Price $ 400, $ 400 $ 1500, $ 0 Spalding $ 80 Price $ 0, $ 1500 $ 1000, $ 1000 What strategy will each firm choose? Why? Which strategy is dominant? Which strategy is preferred by each firm? What will be the outcome of the one-shot game? Where is the Nash equilibrium? Which outcome would be best for the two firms? What will happen if the game is repeated an infinite number of times?
- 12. Consider a game where each player picks a number from 0 to 60. The guess that is closest to half ofthe average of the chosen numbers wins a prize. If several peopleare equally close, then they share theprize. The game theory implies that (A) all players have dominant strategies to choose 0 (B) all players have dominant strategies to choose 30 (C) there is a Nash equilibrium where all players pick 0 (D) there is a Nash equilibrium where all players pick positive numbers 13. Behavioral data in such games suggests that (A) most subjects choose 0; (B) most subjects choose 30; (C) common answers include 30, 15, 7.5, and 0; (D) most subjects use randomization. Can you help me answer number 13 please?Prove that in the variation on the centipede game given in figure 14.5(b) the unique sequential equilibrium described is, in fact, the unique Nash equilibrium. (Hint: Take some presumed Nash equilibrium and suppose information set 2n+ 1 [for player 2] is the first unreached information set. Derive an immediate contradiction. Then suppose that node (2n) t is the first unreached information set and derive a contradiction that is one degree removed from immediate.)4. Correlated EquilibriaConstruct an example (not one from class or the reading) of a Normal form game with a correlated equilibrium that is not a Nash equilibrium.
