Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- 7) What is a repeated game? Why are repeated games useful to consider? What is the difference between finitely repeated games and infinitely repeated games? Provide an example of a political situation that would be usefully modeled with a repeated game.10. Here's another game that has interested researchers, especially those of the type who work in the Max Gluskin House on campus at UofT. It's also a two-player game, but this time the payment is integral to describing the game. There is no direct Researcher involvement in the game, other than potentially as the source of a payout. For the sake of describing the game, imagine that Anson and Kanav are our two players and that they are playing the game virtually via Zoom for bitcoins, denoted B. There are always two piles of bitcoin in play: a larger one and a smaller one. Ahead of the game Anson and Kanav decide the maximum number 2n of turns, for some n E N greater than or equal to 1. • During the first turn the large pile of bitcoin has 4 Band the smaller pile of bitcoin has 1 B. Anson can either take the bitcoin or pass. If Anson (4 B) takes the bitcoin he gets the larger pile, Kanav gets the smaller pile (1 B) and the game ends. If he passes, the size of each pile is doubled. • Now…2. Assume a Hawk -Dove game with the following payoff matrix, where the first entry is Animal A's payoff, and the second entry is Animal B's payoff: Animal A Hawk Dove (rows)/Animal B (columns) (-5,-5) (0,10) (10,0) (4,4) Hawk Dove An animal that plays Hawk will always fight until it wins or is badly hurt. An animal that plays Dove makes a bold display but retreats if his opponent starts to fight. If two Dove animals meet they share. (a) Explain why there cannot be an equilibrium where all animals act as Doves. (b) Explore whether there are any Nash equilibria in pure strategies and explain which these are and why. (c) Derive a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium (MSNE). What is the proportion of Hawks and Doves? If the proportion of Hawks in the population of animals is greater than the mixed strategy equilibrium proportion you calculated, which strategy does better, Hawks of Doves? Explain your answer. (d) Draw the best response functions and show in the diagram all pure and mixed…
- 2. Assume a Hawk -Dove game with the following payoff matrix, where the first entry is Animal A's payoff, and the second entry is Animal B's payoff: Animal A Hawk Dove (rows)/Animal B (columns) (-5,-5) (0,10) (10,0) (4,4) Hawk Dove An animal that plays Hawk will always fight until it wins or is badly hurt. An animal that plays Dove makes a bold display but retreats if his opponent starts to fight. If two Dove animals meet they share. (a) Explain why there cannot be an equilibrium where all animals act as Doves. (b) Explore whether there are any Nash equilibria in pure strategies and explain which these are and why. (c) Derive a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium (MSNE). What is the proportion of Hawks and Doves? If the proportion of Hawks in the population of animals is greater than the mixed strategy equilibrium proportion you calculated, which strategy does better, Hawks of Doves? Explain your answer.4. Assume a Hawk -Dove game with the following payoff matrix, where the first entry is Animal A's payoff and the second entry is Animal B's payoff: Animal A Hawk (rows)/Animal B (columns) Hawk Dove (-10,-10) (0,20) Dove (20,0) (8,8) An animal that plays Hawk will always fight until it wins or is badly hurt. An animal that plays Dove makes a bold display but retreats if his opponent starts to fight. If two Dove animals meet they share. (a) Explain why there cannot be an equilibrium where all animals act as Doves. (b) Explore whether there are any Nash equilibria in pure strategies and explain which these are and why they are equilibria.II. Determine which of the following two-person zero-sum games are strictly determinable and fair. Give the optimum strategies for each player in the case of it being strictly determinable. a- Player A Player B B1 B2 B3 A1 8 2 4 A2 5 -1 3 b. II II V V I -4 -2 -2 1 A II 1 -1 III -6 -5 -2 -4 4 IV 3 1 -6 0 -8 3.
- 2. Now consider a two player game that is symmetric (as well as zero-sum and simultaneous-move): Rock-Paper-Scissors. Do your best to write out the game of "RPS" using a game matrix. Then show that there are no pure-strategy equilibria. GIn a game theory payoff matrix. Your company (A) and a major competitor (B) havetwo potential strategies: to advertise or to not advertise during the Super Bowl. The payoffs in each cell represent the change in firm profits from advertising. How would you create payoffs in each cell such that the Nash equilibrium is that both firms advertise despite having a higher profit if neither firm advertised4. Assume a typical prisoner's dilemma game. Explain under what conditions cooperation can be enforced in an infinitely repeated game. In your answer, emphasize the concept of a trigger strategy.
- 4. Correlated EquilibriaConstruct an example (not one from class or the reading) of a Normal form game with a correlated equilibrium that is not a Nash equilibrium.(6) Find all the Nash equilibria and subgame perfect equilibria of the games in Figures 1 and 2 on the next page.4. Find the Nash equilibrium of the following modified Rock-Paper-Scissors game: • When rock (R) beats scissors (S), the winner's payoff is 10 and the loser's payoff is –10. • When paper (P) beats rock, the winner's payoff is 5 and the loser's payoff is -5. • When scissors beats paper, the winner's payoff is 2 and the loser's payoff is -2. • In case of ties, both players receive 0 payoff.
