An amount of money is accumulating; in period t (= 1, 2, . . . , T) its size is $2t. In each period two people simultaneously decide whether to claim the money. If only one person does so, she gets all the money; if both people do so, they split the money equally; and if neither person does so, both people have the opportunity to do so in the next period. If neither person claims the money in period T, each person obtains $T. Each person cares only about the amount of money she obtains. Formulate this situation as an extensive game with perfect information and simultaneous moves, and find its subgame perfect equilibria). (Start by considering the cases T = 1 and T = 2.)

- Suppose Don's wants to invest to build a condominium tower in Moscow. If he can get his friend Vlad to buy one of the units, he figures the investment will be a success (because all Vlad's rich friends will want to buy one too) and his income will be $1,000,000 this year. However, there is a 60% chance that Vlad will not be interested. In that case, the investment will fail and Don's income will be only $100,000. Don's utility function is U=In(income) The British insurance company Lloyds of London will insure the investment and they will charge him a premium of $600,000. Graph the risk situation described above. Note the expected utility. What would be the actuarially fair premium for a policy that would pay Don $900,000 in the event the investment fails? а. b С. What is Don's Risk Premium? d. Will Don buy the policy from Lloyd's of London? Explain why or why not?A bunch of cookies should be divided among students by a teacher. Each student writes secretly on a sheet of paper his name and the amount of the cookies (his bid) he wants to get (other students cannot see this number). Then the teacher sorts these bids in ascending order and gives cookies to the students starting from the bid with the smallest amount. If cookies are finished at some point the rest of the students get nothing. If there are several equal bids that cannot be satisfied simultaneously with the current amount of cookies, cookies are equally divided among the students who named these bids. If there are extra cookies, the teacher keeps them. You should assume that cookies are perfectly divisible. Find a Nash Equilibrium in pure strategies. Explain why the set of strategies you propose is indeed a Nash Equilibrium in pure strategies. Explain why there are no other Nash equilibria.If Firm 1 chooses to release the console in October with probability of 0.692 or December with a probability of 0.308, then Firm 2 is indifferent between choosing a release date. If Firm 2 released the console in October with probability of 0.50 or December with a probability of 0.50, then Firm 1 is indifferent between choosing a release date Suppose now that instead of choosing the release date at the same time, the firms choose sequentially (but still in advance). Firm A chooses its release date first, then firm B observes that date and chooses its own date. Thepayoffs are otherwise the same as above. Represent the game tree corresponding to this dynamic game.
- Eric has a job at an electronics store in a mall. Eric doesn't like to work hard, and it costs him $100 to do so. Eric's employer cannot observe whether Eric works hard or not. If Eric works hard, there is a 75% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $400 a day and a 25% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $100 a day. If Eric shirks, there is a 75% probability that electronics goods profits will equal S100 a day and a 25% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $400 a day. Suppose Eric is paid $200 if electronics goods profits are $400 a day and $50 if electronics goods profits are S100 a day. Eric will because the net gain of from shirking is than the net gain of from working hard. O shirk; $87.50; more; $62.50 O shirk; $125; more; $118 O work hard; S50; less; $62.50 O work hard; $100; less; $250Two travelers own an identical suitcase that contains identical antiques. The airline is liable for a maximum of $100 per suitcase. To determine how much to reimburse each traveler, the airline puts them in different rooms (so that they cannot communicate), and ask them to write down an amount (an integer number) between $2 and $100. If both write down the same number, the airline will reimburse both travelers that amount. However, if the two amounts are different, both travelers will be paid the lowest of the two numbers along with a bonus/malus: $2 extra will be paid to the traveler who wrote down the lower value and a $2 deduction will be taken from the person who wrote down the higher amount. What are the travelers’ best response functions? What are the Nash equilbria of the game? Are they Pareto efficient? Explain the intuition why.An electronics retailer wants to send codes for $10 off a pair of headphones to the subscribers of its e-mail list.

Assume that the letters and digits can be repeated. How many such coupon codes can be generated? couponcodes
- Mete is Esra's boyfriend. Esra is expecting a marriage proposal from Mete. Today is Sunday. Mete says Esra that: (1) he is going to propose Esra on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday or Friday, at 10:00 pm. (2) he knows right now the day when he will propose (3) but the day of proposal will be a surprise to Esra: On the day of the proposal, she would not be expecting the proposal that day. Esra says Mete that what he says is impossible. Explain why Esra is right in a few sentences.A business owner must decide to build sofas, chairs, or bed mattresses with the materials the company owns. The workers at the factory can build 100 sofas, 150 bed mattresses, or 200 chairs. The cost of manufacturing the sofas is more than chairs but less than the cost of manufacturing the mattresses. The profit margin on the mattresses is potentially highest. However, the mattresses require the most time to make. To make the chairs cost the least but uses the most resources. Taking all of these factors into consideration, the owner has to decide which type of furniture to manufacture. Based on the scenario, the business owner needs to mainly determine which of these? The scarcity of resources for each option The value of manufacturing each option The sales taxes for manufacturing each option The maximum utility from each optionn people guess an integer between 1 and 100, and the winner is the player whose guess is closest to the mean of the guesses + 1 (ties broken randomly). Which of the following is an equilibrium: a) All announce 1. b) All announce 50. c) All announce 75. d) All announce 100
- Two identically able agents are competing for a promotion. The promotion is awarded on the basis of output (whomever has the highest output, gets the promotion). Because there are only two workers competing for one prize, the losing prize=0 and the winning prize =P. The output for each agent is equal to his or her effort level times a productivity parameter (d). (i.e. Q2=dE1 , Q2=dE2). If the distribution of “relative luck” is uniform, the probability of winning the promotion for agent 1 will be a function of his effort (E1) and the effort level of Agent 2 (E2). The formula is given by...Prob(win)=0.5 + α(E1-E2), where α is a parameter that reflects uncertainty and errors in measurement. High measurement errors are associated with small values of α (think about this: if there are high measurement errors, then the level of an agent’s effort will have a smaller effect on his/her chances of winning). Using this information, please answer the following questions. Both workers have a…QUESTION 24 A deck of 52 playing cards consists of 4 suites: clubs, spades, hearts, and diamonds. Each suite consists of 13 cards. Draw one from a deck of cards. Let A=a card "2" is drawn, B=a "diamond" card is drawn. Which is the value of P(A|B), i.e., {probability that the card drawn is "2" given that we have known it is "diamond"} ? 1/52 1/4 1/13 16/52When real estate apents sell their own, rather than dients, houses, they leave the houses on the market for a longer time (10 davs longer on average) and wind up with better prices.
