- 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.)Consider the following ‘war of attrition’. Two animals are in a stand off for a prey. Theyindependently decide when to give up. Waiting is costly, but the animal giving up last winsthe prey (they each get nothing if they walk away at the exact same time). Getting the preygives a benefit of 80 while waiting costs 2 per unit of time. Formally payoffs are given asfollows:u1(t1, t2) =(−2t1 if t1 ≤ t280 − 2t2 if t1 > t2u2(t1, t2) =(80 − 2t1 if t1 < t2−2t2 if t1 ≥ t2,where ti is the amount of time animal i decided to wait. Assuming that animals aim tomaximize payoffs (consciously or not), figure out the Nash equilibria of this game by answeringthe following questions (similar to how we proceeded to solve the Bertrand game).(a) Show that there is no Nash equilibrium where both animals wait a strictly positiveamount of time. For this, consider two subcases: (i) both wait the same amount oftime, or (ii) one gives in earlier than the other.(b) Assume now that one animal, say the first one,…(a) Assuming that each fishery chooses fi ∈ (0,F), to maximize its payoff function, derive the players’ best response functions and find a Nash equilibrium. (b) Is the equilibrium you found in (a) unique or not? What are equilibrium payoffs? (c) Suppose that a benevolent social planner wants maximize the util- ity of both fisheries. In other words, the social planner solves the following problem: max w(f1, f2) = u1(f1, f2) + u2(f1, f2) (f1 ,f2 )= 2ln(f1)+2ln(f2)+2ln(F −f1 −f2). Find the social planner’s solution. (d) What are the fisheries’ payoffs if the quantities of fish they catch are solutions to the social planner’s problem? What can you say about the Nash equilibrium quantities of fish being caught as compared to the social planner’s solution? (e) If fishery j decides to follow the recommendation of the social planner, how much fish will firm i catch?
- Consider the extensive form game portrayed below. The top number at aterminal node is player 1’s payoff, the middle number is player 2’s payoff,and the bottom number is player 3’s payoff.a. Derive the strategy set for each player. (Note: If you do not want to listall of the strategies, you can provide a general description of a player’sstrategy, give an example, and state how many strategies are in thestrategy set.)b. Derive all subgame perfect Nash equilibria. c. Derive a Nash equilibrium that is not a SPNE, and explain why it isnot a SPNE.The first player can choose either U or D. If he chooses U, the second player has a choice of two strategies: L and R. If the second player moves L he obtains 1 and the first player gets 5. If the second player chooses R he obtains 2 units of payoff while the first player receives 1. Following a move D by the first player, both players engage in a simultaneous-move “Bach or Stravinsky” game (as it was described in class). Find the SPE of this game and write it down in a mixed and behavior form.1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of collusion? Define Collusion 2. In a Stackelberg game, what is the best response that follower firm 2 can make to the choice y1 already made by the leader, firm 1? Defining the game and provide an example of the best response.
- 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.Someone at a party pulls out a $100 bill and announces that he is going to auction it off. There are n=10 people at the partywho are potential bidders. The owner of the $100 bill puts forth the following procedure: All bidders simultaneously submit a written bid. Only the highest bidders pay their bid (assuming that the highest bid is positive). If m people submit the highest bid, then each receives 1/m of the $100. Each person’s strategy set is {0,1,2,...,1000}{0,1,2,...,1000} so bidding can go as high as $1,000. The payoff of a player bidding bi is:0 if bi < max{b1,b2,…,bn},and 100/m − bi if bi = max {b1,b2,…,bn}where,m is the number of bidders whose bid equals max{b1,...,bn}. How many pure-strategy Nash equilibria does this game have? 1) 0 2) 1 3) 4 4) More than 4.Paramter y = 0 What is the highest payoff any player can receive in any subgame perfect Nashequilibrium of the repeated game?
- Two identical firms each have a cost function TC = 2y2 and the market demand for their output is P = -4Q+192a) Write the âbest responseâ function for each firm.b) Find the Nash equilibrium in this model c) Show that if each firm produces 1 fewer units than the result in (b), both firms make more profit. Use this information to construct a normal form game. Explain why this game is a prisonerâs dilemma.Mohamed and Kate each pick an integer number between 1 and 3 (inclusive). They make their choices sequentially.Mohamed is the first player and Kate the second player. If they pick the same number each receives a payoff equal to the number they named. If they pick a different number, they get nothing. What is the SPE of the game? a. Mohamed chooses 3 and Kate is indifferent between 1, 2 and 3. b. Mohamed chooses 3 and Kate chooses 1 if Mohamed chooses 1, 2 if Mohamed chooses 2, and 3 if Mohamed chooses 3. c. Mohamed chooses 1 and Kate chooses 1 if Mohamed chooses 1, 2 if Mohamed chooses 2 and 3 if Mohamed chooses 3. d. Mohamed chooses 3 and Kate chooses 3.6 Two people will select a policy that affects both of them by applying a "veto" in a sequential and alternate manner, that is: person 1 begins to veto a policy and then person 2 exercises his "veto" with the remaining policies; the process repeats until only one policy remains. Assume that there are 3 policies: X,Y,Z, and that person 1 prefers X to Y to Z and person 2 prefers Z to Y to X. a. Represents the game extensively b. Give the number of subgames C. Indicate the total strategies of the players d. find all subgame perfect nash equilibria e. Find all Nash Equilibriums.
