Does each individual in a prisoners dilemma benefit more from cooperation or from pursuing self-interest? Explain briefly.
The next 3 questions involve the following game. There are two players, a husband and wife. They can either be selfish (S) or selfless (U) in their marriage. If they choose to be selfish, then there is a negative ʻguilt’ payoff of g. The payoff matrix is below. Figure 1: The Marriage Game Wife S U S 10-g, 10-g 15-g, 2 U 2, 15-g 12, 12 Number left (right) of comma refers to H's (W's) payoff. 23. Suppose that g = 0.

There are a kicker and a goalie who confront each other in a penalty kick that willdetermine the outcome of the game. The kicker can kick the ball left or right, while the goaliecan choose to jump left or right. Because of the speed of the kick, the decisions need to bemade simultaneously. If the goalie jumps in the same direction as the kick, then the goalie winsand the kicker loses. If the goalie jumps in the opposite direction of the kick then the kickerwins and the goalie loses. Model this as a strategic form game and write down the matrix thatrepresents the game you modeled. Find the Nash equilibrium.
Hi this is from a textbook. Thank you. 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 above
a. The president of a Japanese electronics company, Takashi Hashiyama, famously chose the auction housefor his company’s art collection by having representatives from two auction houses, Christie’s and Sotheby’s,play a round of rock-paper-scissors. At stake were millions of dollars in commissions. Show the payoff matrixfor a game where the payoff is 1 if you win, 0 if you tie, and -1 if you lose. I’m sure you know this already, butjust in case: rock breaks scissors, scissors cut paper, and paper smothers rock. Here’s an article about the actualgame if you’re interested. b.

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.
. In a gambling game, Player A and Player B both have a $1 and a $5 bill. Each player selects one of the bills without the other player knowing the bill selected. Simultaneously they both reveal the bills selected. If the bills do not match, Player A wins Player B's bill. If the bills match, Player B wins Player A's bill. a. Develop the game theory table for this game. The values should be expressed as the gains (or losses) for Player A. b. Is there a pure strategy? Why or why not? c. Determine the optimal strategies and the value of this game. Does the game favor one player over the other? d. Suppose Player B decides to deviate from the optimal strategy and begins playing each bill 50% of the time. What should Player A do to improve Player A’s winnings? Comment on why it is important to follow an optimal game theory strategy.
