Sometimes oligopolies in the same industry are very different in size. Suppose we have a duopoly where one firm (Film A) is large and the other film (Film B) is small, as the prisoners dilemma box in Table 10.4 shows. Assuming that both films know the payoffs, what is the likely outcome in this case?
Solve for the Nash equilibrium (or equilibria) in each of the following games. (a) The following two-by-two game is a little harder to solve since firm 2’spreferred strategy depends of what firm 1 does. But firm 1 has a dominantstrategy so this game has one Nash equilibrium. Firm 2 Launch Don’tFirm 1 Launch 60, -10 100, 0 Don’t 80, 30 120, 0 What is the Nash equilibrium of this simultaneous-move game? (b) What would the outcome of this game be if instead firm 1 moved first and then, after seeing what firm 1 chose, firm 2 chose it strategy? In this case firm 1 doesn’t necessarily need to choose a best response, but firm 2 must choose a best response since it moves second.
Consider this as a simultaneous-move (static) game: Player A Top Bottom Player B Left Right ETEL UU 1.b) Does any player have a dominant strategy in this game? Explain. 1.a) Write down the Best Response Correspondence for each of the two players. Molimonsbestich Quinit 1.c) Find all Nash Equilibria in pure strategies of this game. 1.d) Is there any Nash Equilibria in mixed strategies? If so, find it. Elekt
Two farmers, Ali and Hasan, graze their animals on a common land. They canchoose to use the common resource lightly or heavily and the resulting strategic interactionmay be described as a strategic form game. The payoff matrix is the following: (The table is attached on iamges part) Suppose that the game is repeated infinitely. If both players play a Grim-Trigger strategy, findthe discount factor δ such that (Light,Light) be a Nash equilibrium
You are playing a game with a friend. It’s yourmove but you don’t have a dominant strategy.Your payoff depends on what your friend doesafter your move. You consider flipping a coin todecide what to do. You are about to reach for acoin, but then you realize that your friend has adominant strategy. Explain how using backwardinduction (rather than a coin toss) will now determine your next move
Consider the extensive form game portrayed below. The top number at aterminal node is player 1’s payoff, the middle number is player 2’s payoff,and the bottom number is player 3’s payoff.a. Derive the strategy set for each player. (Note: If you do not want to listall of the strategies, you can provide a general description of a player’sstrategy, give an example, and state how many strategies are in thestrategy set.)b. Derive all subgame perfect Nash equilibria. c. Derive a Nash equilibrium that is not a SPNE, and explain why it isnot a SPNE.
Consider the following price game: Firm 1 Firm 2 High Low High 20, 20 12, 24 Low 24, 12 14, 14 Remark: In simultaneous move games (games with rows and columns) theconvention is to write the row player’s payoff first and the column player’spayoff second. (a) What is the Nash equilibrium of this game? Recall that for each playeryou should find the best response to each of the opponents’ strategies andunderline the associated payoff. Then look for a cell where both strategiesare best responses to each other. This is a Nash equilibrium. (b) Does either firm have a dominate strategy (a strategy that is always abest response)?
Please look at the payoff matrix below which shows the benefits that would accrue to each player in a 2-player.non-sequential, non-repeated game. a) Identify the collusive (cooperative) equilibrium. b) Identify the secure strategy (maximin) equilibrium c) Identify the maximax equilibrium d) Identify the Nash equilibrium Apple Inc.

O Macmillan Learning McLaren and Red Bull are competing for the Formula One Constructors' Championship and are deciding whether to increase their spending on their aerodynamic (aero) development. The matrix displays the payoffs to the team that result from each possible choice. Note that, due to other factors, the payoffs are not symmetrical. Assume that each team's goal is to earn as many points as possible. a. Does McLaren have a dominant strategy? If so, what is it? O Yes. Their dominant strategy is to leave aero development spending unchanged. O Yes. Their dominant strategy is to increase aero development spending. O No, they do not have a dominant strategy. b. Does Red Bull have a dominant strategy? If so, what is it? O Yes. Their dominant strategy is to increase aero development spending. Yes. Their dominant strategy is to leave aero Red Bull Raise spending Do not change spending McLaren Increase spending Do not change spending McLaren earns 142 points McLaren earns 360 points…
II.2 Companies A and B can compete on advertising or R&D. The profits (in millions of $ million) of the two firms are given in the table below assumig that they play a one-shot simultancous mov game (the profit or firm A is listed first in every cell of the matrix, followed by the profit of firm B): Advertising R&D 50, 25 10, 70 20, 40 60, 35 1. Find the mixed strategy equilibrium. A\B Advertising R&D 2. What are the expected profits for both firms in this equilibrium?
Refer to the payoff matrix below. Assuming this is a sequential game with no collusion, what is the outcome if Firm A moves first to build a new type of commercial aircraft? Explain why fifi rst-mover strategies in the realworld are only as good as the profifit projections on which they are based. How could a supposed “win” from moving first turn out to be a big loss, whereas the “loss” of being preempted turn out to be a blessing in disguise?
