Husband and wife want to spend Friday evening at cinema. They can watch the same movie, or different ones. They choose between two movies: “Heroes of War” and “Loving Stranger”. If they go to the same movie, they both feel satisfaction: in the case they watch “Heroes of War” husband’s satisfaction is higher, but in case they watch “Loving Stranger” wife’s satisfaction is higher. If they decide to watch different movies they feel no satisfaction at all. Help them to make the best decision (in terms of game theory – find Nash equilibrium).

Consider the following game in which Sally can play T or B and John chooses between L or R. Each player makes their choice simultaneously. If Sally chooses T and John chooses L, Sally gets a payoff of 5 and John has a payoff of 4. If Sally plays T and John R, Sally’s payoff is 8 and John gets 3. If Sally Chooses B and John L, the payoffs are 3 to Sally and 2 to John. Finally, if Sally chooses B and John R, the payoffs are 7 to Sally and 0 to John. Which statement is true? a) The Nash equilibrium is (B,R); this is a prisoners’ dilemma b) The Nash equilibrium is (T,R); this is a prisoners’ dilemma c) The Nash equilibrium is (T,R); this is not dominant strategy equilibrium d) The Nash equilibrium is (T,L); this is a dominant strategy equilibrium e) None of the abovearrow_forwardHello, please help me to solve this question in Game Theory. Thanks in advance!Consider a first price sealed-bid auction of an object with two bidders. Each bidder i’s valuation of the object is vi, which is known to both bidders. The auction rules are that each player submits a bid in a sealed envelope. The envelopes are then opened, and the bidder who has submitted the highest bid gets the object and pays the auctioneer the amount of his bid. If the bidders submit the same bid, each gets the object with probability 0.5. Bids must be integers. Find a Nash equilibrium for this game and show whether it is unique.arrow_forward

Recall that in this game, the two players drive straight at each other. They can choose to swerve or keep going straight. If one swerves, and the other goes straight, assume that the one that swerves gets -10 utility and the one that goes straight gets 10 utility, since the one that swerves is deemed the loser. If both swerve, both get 0 utility. If both go straight, they crash and get -50 utility. Assume both players have a discount rate of 0.9 Draw the stage game of date night List all pure strategy Nash equilibria of the single stage game Consider an infinite horizon version of Chicken. Can you get an SPNE in which the both players swerve using a grim trigger type strategy? Consider the following strategies: both players swerve, as long as neither ever went straight.
