Question 3 Markets improve welfare because consumers gain from the exchange. It's a win-lose. O producers gain from e exchange. It's a win-lose. O producers and consumers gain from exchange. It's a win-win. O it's a zero-sum game, where the gains to one party offset the loses to the other party.
Is the solution to the prisoner’s dilemma game a Nash equilibrium? Why? The solution to the prisoner’s dilemma game is a Nash equilibrium because no player can improve his or her payoff by changing strategy unilaterally. The solution to the prisoner’s dilemma game is not a Nash equilibrium because players do not end up in the best combination for both. The solution to the prisoner’s dilemma game is not a Nash equilibrium because both players can improve their payoffs by cooperating. The solution to the prisoner’s dilemma game is a Nash equilibrium because it is a noncooperative game in which both players have to expect that the other is purely selfish.
here is a description of a modified producer –scrounger game. Pairs of shrews forage in a patch. A shrew can pursue either of two tactics: (1) search for food, called a producer or (2) take some of the food found by a producer, called a scrounger. Producing comes at a cost (in terms of energy spent while searching for food), whereas scrounging is cost-free. A producer gets a finder’s share (75% of the food) when paired with a scrounger (who gets 25% of the food). Producers share the search costs and the food. F = benefit, in terms of the amount of energy in the food C = cost, in terms of energy spent searching for food Payoff: Producer paired with a Producer = ½F – ½C Payoff: Producer paired with a Scrounger = 3/4 F – C Payoff: Scrounger paired with a Producer = 1/4 F Payoff: Scrounger paired with a Scrounger = 0 The cost of search goes up, because food is harder to locate. What is the ESS when F = 10 and C = 6? Make sure to calculate the equilibrium proportion of each tactic if…
We consider a game between two players, Alice and Bob. Alice chooses a number x and Bob chooses a number y. Alice's payoff is given by the following function:50 x + 79 x y - 89 x 2 . (the last entry is "x squared".)Suppose that Bob plays y = 23. Calculate Alice's best response (round your answer to 2 decimals).
Please solve the following problem using a game theory. Consider a scenario in which two companies, Company A and Company B, are competing for a government contract to supply a specific product. The government has set a maximum budget for the contract, and both companies want to maximize their profits. However, the government will only award the contract to the company with the lowest bid, and the companies have to submit sealed bids simultaneously. Company A and Company B both have two options: bid high or bid low. If both companies bid low, they will share the contract and split the profits equally. If one company bids low and the other bids high, the company bidding low will win the entire contract and maximize its profits, while the other company will receive nothing. If both companies bid high, neither will win the contract, and they will receive no profits. The profit structure is as follows (in millions of dollars): If both companies bid low: Company A gets $10 million, and…
Recall the price matching game we discussed in class video. The main conclusion we can draw from this analysis was a. price matching acts like excess capacity because it deters entry into the market b. price matching can result in consumers paying higher than competitive prices c. price matching re-enforces the Nash equilibrium of low competitive pricing d.firms will invest in productive capacity to obtain economies of scale
**Practice*** Amy and Bob are playing the following board game:(I) Amy starts. She has three possible actions: Pass, Attack, or Defend.(II) Bob observes what Amy chose, and then chooses between three actions with the same names: Pass, Attack, or Defend.(III) If either player passes, or one attacks and the other defends, then the game ends. But if either both players attack, or if both players defend, then Amy has to choose between two actions: Respond or Not Respond. The payoffs are as follows:- If both players pass, both players get a payoff of 0.- If a player attacks and the other player defends, the player that attacks gets a payoff of 1, while the player that defended gets a payoff of 2.- If a player passes but the other player attacks or defends, the player who passes gets a payoff of -1, and the player who attacked or defended gets a payoff of 3.- If both players attack or both players defend:– If Amy responds, she gets a payoff of 4, and Bob gets a payoff of 0.– If Amy does…
Consider a game with two players A and B and two strategies X and Z. If both players play strategy X, A will earn $300 and B will earn $700. If both players play strategy Z, A will earn $1,000 and B will earn $600. If Player A plays strategy X and player B plays strategy Z, A will earn $200 and B will earn $300. If Player A plays strategy Z and player B plays strategy X, A will earn $500 and B will earn $400. Player B finds that: a) strategy Z is a dominant strategy. b) strategy X is a dominant strategy. c) he has no dominant strategy. d) strategy X is a dominated strategy. e) strategy Z is a dominated strategy.
Consider the following game. You are given N vertices and are required to build a graph by adding edges connecting these vertices. Each time you add an edge you must pay $1. You can stop when the graph is connected.(a) Describe the strategy that will cost you the least amount of money.(b) What is the minimum amount of money needed to build the graph? (Give your answer in terms of N
In 2003, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela produced an average of 8 million and 3 million barrels of oil a day, respectively. Production costs were about $10 a barrel and the price of oil averaged $28 per barrel. Each country had the capacity to produce an additional 1 million barrels per day. At that time, it was estimated that each country 1-million-barrel increase in supply would depress the average price of oil by $3. A. Draw a normal form representation of a game where Saudi Arabia has 2 possible actions to produce 8 million or 9 million barrels of oil and Venezuela has 2 possible actions: to produce 3 or 4 million barrels of oil. Fill in the payoffs for each player and action. Draw a table. B. What action should each country take and why? C. Does the asymmetry in the countries' sizes cause them to take different attitudes towards expanding out? Explain why or why not.
Consider the following static game with two firms as the players. Each firm must decide either to upgrade (U) an existing good to a new version; or not upgrade it (N). The decisions are simultaneous. If a firm chooses to upgrade, they have to pay a fixed cost of 7. If they don’t upgrade, there is no fixed cost. The marginal cost is always equal to 3. The demand side of the market is as follows: If neither firm upgrades, each firm sells 2 units at price 4. If both firms upgrade, each firm sells 3 units at price 5. If only one firm upgrades, the one who upgrades sells 5 units at price 5, and the other firm does not sell anything.
True or false? If a game has a Nash equilibrium, that equilibrium will be the equilibrium that we expect to observe in the real world. False. People don’t always act in the way that a Nash equilibrium requires. People don’t always make the necessary calculations and they take into account the outcome of others. False. A Nash equilibrium is based on very strict assumptions that rarely hold in the real world. No real-world situation leads to a Nash equilibrium. True. As long as people are rational and have their own self-interest at heart, real-life games will result in the Nash equilibrium. True. Nash’s theory of equilibrium outcomes was derived from real-world interactions. The theory holds true for almost all real-world scenarios.
