In a game of chicken, two drivers are heading towards each other on a collision course. The first one to swerve is considered the "chicken" and loses. What is the Nash equilibrium in this game? a) Both drivers swerve b) Neither driver swerves c) One driver swerves while the other doesn't d) It depends on the specific
In the following two-user game, the payoffs of users Alice and Bob are exactly negative of each other in all the combinations of strategies (a,a), (a,b), (b,a), (b,b). This models an extreme case of competition, and is called a zero-sum game. Please point out every pure-strategy Nash equilibrium of this game, and explain why it is. a b a (1, -1) (3, -3) (2, -2) (5, -5)
Suppose China and the US are deciding whether to join an international agreement to mitigate climate change. The matrix below contains payoffs that represent each country’s net benefit from their decisions. Use this information to answer Question 24. CHINA USA Join Agreement Do Not Join Agreement Join Agreement (100,100) (0,125) Do Not Join Agreement (125,0) (25,25) [24] What does each country decide to do in a Nash equilibrium? AND What is the efficient outcome? Nash: Efficient:
Use the following normal-form game to answer the following questions. a. For what values of x is strategy D (strictly) dominant for player 2? b. For what values of x is strategy B (strictly) dominant for player 1? c. For what values of x is (B, D) the only Nash equilibrium of the game?
Economics Alpha and Beta are the only firms selling gyros in the upscale town of Delphi. Each firm must decide on whether to offer a discount to students to compete for customers. If one firm offers a discount but the other does not then the firm that offers the discount will increase its profit. The figure shows the payoff matrix for this game. Alpha Offer Don't offer Alpha eams S60,000 Alpha eams $20,000 What is the Nash equilibrium in this game? Offer Bota earns $60,000 Bota earns $100.000 O A. There is no Nash equilibrium Beta Alpha earns $100.000 Alpha earms $80,000 O B. Beta offers a student discount but Alpha does not Don't OC.

The world has changed a bit. Microsoft and Google could still either cooperate or compete in the market for social media video software currently captured by Tik Tok, but their payoffs have changed. The table below shows their profits in billions of USD in each scenario. Use your mouse to point and click on the Nash equilibrium outcome(s).

Table 15.4, Prisoner Dilemma. Suppose the game starts with both Jesse and Frank planning to “Stay Mum” in the lower right cell. Discuss how each player would evaluate the situation and decide whether to change decisions. If each player makes decisions to minimize the penalty, in which cell will this game end? Is there a Nash equilibrium?
Problem #4: Bayesian Nash Equilibrium Consider the following game, which has two states of nature shown in the two game tables below: "Harmful" (p = 1/3) "Helpful" (1-p = 2/3) Player 2 X Y 3, 2 Player 2 Y 2, 3 3, 2 1,0 0,1 A 0,1 3,2 A Player 1 Player 1 В 0,1 B a) Assume that Player 1 knows what the true state of nature is when playing this game, but Player 2 does not. Find all of the game's Bayesian Nash equilibria. (Hint: It may help to arrange the game tables appropriately.) b) Now, assume that Player 2 knows the true state of nature, but Player 1 does not. Find all of the game's Bayesian Nash equilibria.
