This game is infinitely repeated, and in each period both players must choose their actions simultaneously. If both players follow a tit-for-tat strategy, then they can Cooperate in equilibrium if the interest rate r is . At an interest rate of r=0.5, .
If instead of playing an infinite number of times, the players play the game only 10 times, then in the first period player 1 receives a payoff of

- Return to the game between Monica and Nancy in Exercise U10 in Chapter 5. Assume that Monica and Nancy choose their effort levels sequentially instead of simultaneously. Monica commits to her choice of effort level first. On observing this decision, Nancy commits to her own effort level. What is the subgame - perfect equilibrium of the game where the joint profits are 5m + 4n+ mn, the costs of their efforts to Monica and Nancy are m2 and n2, respectively, and Monica commits to an effort level first? Compare the payoffs to Monica and Nancy with those found in Exercise U10 in Chapter 5. Does this game have a first-mover or second - mover advantage? Using the same joint profit function as in part (a), find the subgame - perfect equilibrium for the game where Nancy must commit first to an effort level. U10.

The card may either be red (heart or diamond) or black (spades or clubs). Player 1 observes her card, but player 2 (the receiver) does not - Player 1 decides to Play (P) or Not Play (N). If player 1 chooses not to play, then the game ends and the player receives -1 and player 2 receives 1. - If player 1 chooses to play, then player 2 observes this decision (but not the card) and chooses to Continue (C) or Quit (Q). If player 2 chooses Q, player 1 earns a payoff of 1 and player 2 a payoff of -1 regardless of player 1's card - If player 2 chooses continue, player 1 reveals her card. If the card is red, player 1 receives a payoff of 3 and player 2 a payoff of -3. If the card is black, player 1 receives a payoff of 2 and player 2 a payoff of -1 a. Draw the extensive form game b.

- Player 1 can stay at home or fly to New York, in which case Player 2 can meet Player 1, who can then buy a drink for Player 2. See the game below. Which of the following completely describes a possible strategy for Player 1? 1 Fly to New York Stay home Stay home Stay home and Don't buy drink Fly to New York and Meet Stay home or Fly to New York 2 Meet Don't meet 0,0 1 Buy drink Don't buy drink -2,0 1,2 -1, -1arrow_forwardGame theory problemarrow_forwardSuppose Antonio and Trinity are playing a game that requires both to simultaneously choose an action: Up or Down. The payoff matrix that follows shows the earnings of each person as a function of both of their choices. For example, the upper-right cell shows that if Antonio chooses Up and Trinity chooses Down, Antonio will receive a payoff of 7 and Trinity will receive a payoff of 5. Trinity Up Down Up 4,8 7,5 Antonio Down 3,2 5,6 In this game, the only dominant strategy is for to choose The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Antonio chooses, and Trinity chooses Grade It Now Save & Continue Continue without saving @ 2 F2 #3 80 Q F3 MacBook Air 44 F7 Dll F8 44 F10 74 $ 4 05 Λ & % 5 6 7 8 * 0 Q W E R T Y U 1 A N S X 9 0 -O O D F G H J K L on را H command C > B N M Λ - - P [ H Λ command optiarrow_forward
- In 'the dictator' game, one player (the dictator) chooses how to divide a pot of $10 between herself and another player (the recipient). The recipient does not have an opportunity to reject the proposed distribution. As such, if the dictator only cares about how much money she makes, she should keep all $10 for herself and give the recipient nothing. However, when economists conduct experiments with the dictator game, they find that dictators often offer strictly positive amounts to the recipients. Are dictators behaving irrationally in these experiments? Whether you think they are or not, your response should try to provide an explanation for the behavior.arrow_forwardJohn and Paul are walking in the woods one day when suddenly an angry bear emerges from the underbrush. They each can do one of two things: run away or stand and fight. If one of them runs away and the other fights, then the one who ran will get away unharmed (payoff of 0) while the one who fights will be killed (payoff -200). If they both run, then the bear will chase down one of them and eat them to death but the other one will get away unharmed. Assuming they don't know which one will escape we will call this a payoff of -100 for both. If they BOTH fight, then they will successfully drive off the bear but they may be injured in the process (payoff -20). Construct a payoff matrix for this game and identify the pure strategy Nash equilibrium. (Indicate it with words not with a circle!)arrow_forwardConsider the following two player game. In each cell the first number refers to the payoff to Player 1 while the second number refers to the payoff to Player 2. Suppose the two players move simultaneously (at the same time). Which one of the following statements is CORRECT? Player #1 Player #2 Top Bottom Left 7.7 4.0 Right 0,4 4,4 O There are three equilibria in this game: two pure strategy equilibria at [Top, Left] and [Bottom, Right) and al third equilibrium in mixed strategies. In the mixed strategy equilibrium of this game. Player 1 should play Top with probability 2/5 and Bottom with probability 3/5; Player 2 should play Left with probability 2/5 and Right with probability 3/5. O There are three equilibria in this game; two pure strategy equilibria at (Top. Left) and (Bottom, Right) and a third equilibrium in mixed strategies. In the mixed strategy equilibrium of this game, both players should randomize over the strategies with probability and %. O There is a unique dominant…arrow_forward
