How does the concept of the Prisoner's Dilemma illustrate the challenges of cooperation and rational decision-making in economic scenarios?
Describe an original social dilemma you observe in the real world -- i.e. a situation in which no one has an incentive to change what they're doing, but everyone would be better off if everyone changed what they were doing. Try to create two tables to present your dilemma as a 2×2 game. Your first table should be descriptive, Your second table should be a payoff matrix showing the payoffs for both players in each of the four situations Using your payoff matrix, describe the Nash equilibrium and the mutually preferred outcome.
Consider the following two-player game.First, player 1 selects a number x≥0. Player 2 observes x. Then, simultaneously andindependently, player 1 selects a number y1 and player 2 selects a number y2, at which pointthe game ends.Player 1’s payoff is: u1(x; y1) = −3y21 + 6y1y2 −13x2 + 8xPlayer 2’s payoff is: u2(y2) = 6y1y2 −6y22 + 12xy2Draw the game tree of this game and identify its Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium.
3.1 Do either of the two telecommunications firms have a dominant strategy in this interaction?If so, what are these dominant strategies? 3.2 What is the Nash Equilibrium of the game above? Clearly, show the logic you use to reachyour conclusion. What type of game is this? 3.3 Suppose the two firms could incentivize or punish each other, could the two firms find theirway to the socially optimum outcome? How would they do this? After observing the strategic interaction between Globogym and Average Joe’s, the governmentdecides to pass a law that states that the two terms must pre-commit to the quantities of trainingsessions they will supply to the American market.Market demand for training sessions is still modeled as ? = 400 − 0.2?, as before, and the marginalcost of production is constant at R40 per call. Let the number of sessions provided by Globogym berepresented by ?G and the quantity provided by Average Joe’s be represented by ?A. 3.4 Solve the firms’ reaction functions and…
Consider a modified Traveler’s Dilemma. In terms of strategy options that the players have and the dollars they earn, it is like the standard Traveler’s Dilemma, but the players do not have endless appetite for money. Up to 100 dollars, each dollar feels like a dollar. But any moneybeyond 100 is psychologically like 100 dollars. Assuming that players are maximizers of ‘psychological’ dollars instead of real dollars, describe all the Nash equilibria of this modified Traveler’s Dilemma.
There are many real-world examples of the prisoner's dilemma. Climate change is one such example. In your writting, include the following: A. How is a country's decision whether to reduce carbon emissions in order to minimize climate change an example of a prisoner's dilemma? What is the optimal outcome? What is the likely outcome? Explain. B.Is there any way to get the optimal outcome? Why or why not?
Why is a cooperative outcome more likely in an often repeated prisoners’ dilemma?
A "Prisoner's Dilemma" is a situation in which both parties: a) have an incentive to cooperate(meaning working with the other criminal by keeping one's mouth shut) even without communication b) have an incentive to not cooperate(meaning working with other criminal by keeping one's mouth shut) even through cooperation would be mutually benefical. c)have no incentives to cooperate or not cooperate because either way they lose.
What is prisoners dilemma? and how it works? Explain in detail
Describe the Nash equilibrium/a and the mutually-preferred outcome. Finally, consider how people are sometimes able to resolve this social dilemma in the real world. Clearly explain how this method is successful in moving the players to a socially optimal outcome.
There are a kicker and a goalie who confront each other in a penalty kick that willdetermine the outcome of the game. The kicker can kick the ball left or right, while the goaliecan choose to jump left or right. Because of the speed of the kick, the decisions need to bemade simultaneously. If the goalie jumps in the same direction as the kick, then the goalie winsand the kicker loses. If the goalie jumps in the opposite direction of the kick then the kickerwins and the goalie loses. Model this as a strategic form game and write down the matrix thatrepresents the game you modeled. Find the Nash equilibrium.
What is the relevancy of the "Prisoner's Dilemma"in explaining government intervention?
