What do you believe will be the outcome of this game if it is played once? Is there incentive for the players to collude?
Three married couples in the state of Maryland—Bob and Carol, Ted and Alice, and Ross and Mike (remember, same-sex marriage is legal in the state of Maryland)—are thinking about renting a boat to go sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. The cost of a boat rental is $600. Each of the three couples puts some amount of money in an envelope. Thus, each player in this game is a couple. If the total amount collected is at least $600, then the boat is rented. If the amount collected is more than $600, then the money left over after renting the boat is spent on wine. If the total amount collected is less than $600, then they do not rent the boat, and the money is spent on a dinner. Assume the benefit to a couple from the boat trip is 400, the benefit from each dollar spent on wine is 50 cents, the benefit from each dollar spent on dinner is 40 cents, and the personal cost of the contribution to a couple equals the amount of contribution. For example, if the boat is rented, $50 of wine is purchased…
Game theory can capture strategic situations where your outcome depends not only upon your own choice but also upon the choice of another. Present a coordination game of your choice where you and another player each have two choices or strategies. Explain in words the Nash Equilibrium concept, and identify the Nash equilibrium or Nash equilibria for your game. Explain why the outcomes that are not Nash equilibria are not.
