i. ii. QUESTION ONE A. A Nash equilibrium is a strategy profile such that every player's strategy is the best response to all the other players. It requires that each player makes a best response and that expectations regarding the play of other players are correct. Below is the table showing strategies and payoff for Player 1 and Player 2. PLAYER 1 R1 R2 R3 R4 C1 0,7 5,2 7,0 6,6 C2 2,5 3,3 2,5 2,2 PLAYER 2 C3 7,0 5,2 0,7 4,4 CA 6,6 2,2 4,4 10,4 REQUIRED; Transform the normal form game above into an imperfect extensive game form Find the Nash equilibrium for the game above using iterative deletion of strictly dominated strategies. Find the Nash equilibrium using brute force or cell by cell inspection.
Game theory Consider a simultaneous move game with two players. Player 1 has three possible actions (A, B, or C) and Player 2 has two possible actions (D or E.) In the payoff matrix below, each cell contains the payoff for Player 1 followed by the payoff for Player 2. Player 2 7. Player 1 A B C D -3, -3 0, -11 -4, 3 -11, E 0 -7, -7 -12, 0 (a) Identify any dominated strategies in this game. If there are none, state this clearly. (b) Identify any pure strategy Nash Equilibria in this game. If there are none, state this clearly
Design the payoffff matrix of a game with no Nash Equilibria. The game should have 2 players, 2 strategies for each player, and the payoffffs for each player should be either 0 or 1.
Use the following payoff matrix for a simultaneous-move one-shot game to answer the accompanying questions. Player 1 Strategy C 15, 7 8, 12 a. What is player 1's optimal strategy? Player 1 does not have an optimal strategy. Strategy A. Strategy B. b. Determine player 1's equilibrium payoff. Player 2 D 10, 11 19, 7 E 19, 15 12, 3 F 18, 20 15, 16
Sam and Sarah are thinking about getting married. However if either of them cheats on the other, they would get a payoff of 10, while the other person gets zero. If neither cheat, they stay with each other and get a payoff of 7 each and if both cheat, the relationship falls apart and each get a payoff of 1. What is the Nash equilibrium of this game? a. Cheat, Cheat b. Not cheat, Not cheat Sam cheats, Sarah doesn't Sarah cheats, Sam doesn't
Use the following payoff matrix for a simultaneous-move one-shot game to answer the accompanying questions. a. What is player 1’s optimal strategy? Why? b. Determine player 1’s equilibrium payoff.
A strategy is a decision rule that describes the actions a player will take at each decision point. The normal-form game indicates the players in the game, the possible strategies of the players, and the payoffs to the players that will result from alternative strategies. In the game presented in Table Normal-Form Game, does player B have a dominant strategy? What is the secure strategy for player B in the game presented in Table Normal-Form Game?

Consider the following game in normal form. Not cooperate Cooperate Not cooperate 20,20 50,0 Cooperate 0,50 40,40 What is Nash equilibrium? Is it efficient? Why? What needs to be complied with so that the players would like to cooperate? What happens when one of the players does not cooperate? Why? Define trigger strategy. Calculate the discount factor (δ) that would make both players decide to cooperate.
Consider a game where player A moves first, choosing between Left and Right. Then, after observing player A’s choice, player B moves next choosing between Up and Down. Which of the following is true? This is a game where players A and B have the same number of strategies. Player A will get a higher payoff than player B as A moves first. This is game will only have one Nash equilibrium. This is a game of perfect information.

Consider a sequential game where there are two players, Jake and Sydney. Jake really likes Sydney and is hoping to run in to her at a party this weekend. Sydney can't stand Jake. There are two parties going on this weekend and each player's payoffs are a function of whether they see one another at the party. The payoff matrix is as follows: Sydney Party 1 Party 2 Party 1 6, 18 18, 6 Jake Party 2 24,8 0,24 a) Does this game have a pure strategy Nash Equilibrium? b) What is the mixed strategy Nash Equilibrium? c) Now suppose Sydney decides what party she is going to first. Her roommate is friends with Jake and will call him to tell him which party they go to. Write the extensive form of this game (game tree). d) What is the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium from part c?
