Determine the Nash equilibrium outcomes that arise if the players make decisions independently, simultaneously, and without any communication. Which of these outcomes would you consider most likely? Explain. b. Suppose player 1 is permitted to “communicate” by uttering one syllable before the players simultaneously and independently make their decisions. What should player 1 utter, and what outcome do you think would occur as a result? c. Suppose player 2 can choose its strategy before player 1, that player 1 observes player 2’s choice before making her decision, and that this move structure is known by both players. What outcome would you expect? Explain.arrow_forwardQuestion 1 Consider the following game. Player 1 has 3 actions (Top, middle,Bottom) and player 2 has three actions (Left, Middle, Right). Each player chooses their action simultaneously. The game is played only once. The first element of the payoff vector is player 1’s payoff. Note that one of the payoffs to player 2 has been omitted (denoted by x). 1. Determine the range of values for x such that Player 2 has a strictly dominant strategy.arrow_forward
- a.) Suppose you manage a large company’s marketing department and are responsible for deciding whether or not to advertise in the Super Bowl. Your team of analysts estimate that for each advertisement, your firm would generate $6 million in additional revenue for the company. It cost $7 million to run a 30-second advertisement. Therefore, your company would expect to lose $1 million in profit for each advertisement. b.) Depict this situation with a game theory payoff matrix. Your company (A) and a major competitor (B) have two potential strategies: to advertise or to not advertise during the Super Bowl. The payoffs in each cell represent the change in firm profits from advertising. Create payoffs in each cell such that the Nash equilibrium is that both firms advertise despite having a higher profit if neither firm advertisedarrow_forwardConsider the following payoff matrix below. Player 1 and Player 2 have two options, A or B. The payoffs are given in the form of (Player 1, Player 2). Higher numbers are more desirable. What is Player 2's dominant strategy?
