Consider the following consta 2 9 5 2 6 4 4 8 Assume that the value of x is known to both players. Assume that the Row Player chooses randomly between strategies 1, 2, and 3 (hence, she chooses each strategy with probability 1/3). Under what conditions will the Column Player always play Strategy 2 (Column 2)? Provide an explanation. a) The Column Player will never commit to a pure strategy. b) Only when x < 6. c) Only when 3 < x < 6. d) Only when x > 3.

4. You have probably had the experience of trying to avoid encountering someone, whom we will call Rocky. In this instance, Rocky is trying to find you. It is Saturday night and you are choosing which of two possible parties to attend. You like Party 1 better and, if Rocky goes to the other party, you get a payoff 20 at Party 1. If Rocky attends Party 1, however, you are going to be uncomfortable and get a payoff of 5. Similarly, Party 2 gives you a payoff of 15, unless Rocky attends, in which case the payoff is 0. Rocky likes Party 2 better, but he is likes you. He values Party 2 at 10, Party 1 at 5, and your presence at either party that he attends is worth an additional payoff of 10. You and Rocky both know each others strategy space (which party to attend) and payoffs functions.
With what probability does player 1 play Down in the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium? (Input your answer as a decimal to the nearest hundredth, for example: 0.14, 0.56, or 0.87). PLAYER 1 Up Down PLAYER 2 Left 97,95 47, 33 Right 8,43 68,91
Consider the below payoff matrix for a game of chicken. Two players drive their cars down the center of the road directly at each other. Each player chooses SWERVE or STAY. Staying wins you more payoff only if the other player swerves. Swerving loses face if the other player stays. However, the worst outcome is when both players stay. Stay Swerve Stay -0,-0 -6,6 Swerve 6,-6 9,9 Player 1 chooses rows and Player 2 chooses columns. Denote the probability of "Stay" for Player 1 as p and for Player 2 as 9. What is the value of p so that Player 2 is indifferent between Stay and Swerve? Write your answer as a decimal number with 2 decimal places (e.g. 0.05)
1.a) If the three executives of a fraudulent organization report nothing to the authorities, each gets a payoff of 100. If at least one of them blows the whistle, then those who reported the fraud get 28, while those who didn’t get -100. Suppose they play a symmetric mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium where each is silent (does not report fraud) with probability p. What is p?A, 0.1B, 0.28C, 0.5D, 0.8 b) In a two-player game, with strategies and (some known and some unknown) payoffs as shown below, suppose a mixed-strategy equilibrium exists where 1 plays C with probability 3/4, and Player 2 randomizes over X, Y, and Z with equal probabilities.

Game Theory Consider the entry game with incomplete information studied in class. An incumbent politician's cost of campaigning can be high or low and the entrant does not know this cost (but the incumbent does). In class, we found two pure-strategy Bayesian Nash Equilibria in this game. Assume that the probability that the cost of campaigning is high is a parameter p, 0 < p < 1. Show that when p is large enough, there is only one pure-strategy Bayesian Nash Equilibrium. What is it? What is the intuition? How large does p have to be?

Here is a Bayesian BOS game. Man has a special preference t1 on boxing while woman has a special preference t2 on opera. Both are in [0,2]. The preference information is private. i.e. Each knows his (her) own preference but does not know the other's preference. The below is the payoff. M/W Boxing Opera Воxing 3+t1,1 0,0 Opera 0,0 1,3+t2 We are checking whether the below strategy profile is a Bayesian Nash Equilibrium. "Man chooses boxing if t1>p while woman chooses opera if t2>g." 1) Given t1, man will choose boxing if t1> /g- 2) Given t2, woman will choose opera if t2> /p- 4) By shoving the simultaneous equations, we get p=q=sqrt(6)-
