- which is the nash equilibrium? small pig does press large pig does press (20, 130), small pig doesn't press large pig does press (140, 10), small pig does press large pig doesn't press (-5, 150), small pig does not press large pig doesn't press (0,0).Suppose two bidders compete for a single indivisible item (e.g., a used car, a piece of art, etc.). We assume that bidder 1 values the item at $v1, and bidder 2 values the item at $v2. We assume that v1 > v2. In this problem we study a second price auction, which proceeds as follows. Each player i = 1, 2 simultaneously chooses a bid bi ≥ 0. The higher of the two bidders wins, and pays the second highest bid (in this case, the other player’s bid). In case of a tie, suppose the item goes to bidder 1. If a bidder does not win, their payoff is zero; if the bidder wins, their payoff is their value minus the second highest bid. a) Now suppose that player 1 bids b1 = v2 and player 2 bids b2 = v1, i.e., they both bid the value of the other player. (Note that in this case, player 2 is bidding above their value!) Show that this is a pure NE of the second price auction. (Note that in this pure NE the player with the lower value wins, while in the weak dominant strategy equilibrium where both…Consider a Common Value auction with two bidders who both receive a signal X that is uniformly distributed between 0 and 1. The (common) value V of the good the players are bidding for is the average of the two signals, i.e. V = (X1+X2)/2. the symmetric Nash equilibrium bidding strategy for the second-price sealed-bid auction assuming that players are risk-neutral and have standard selfish preferences. Furthermore, you may assume that the other bidder is following a linear bidding strategy. Make sure to explain your notation and the steps you take to derive the result.
- Game Theory Consider the entry game with incomplete information studied in class. An incumbent politician's cost of campaigning can be high or low and the entrant does not know this cost (but the incumbent does). In class, we found two pure-strategy Bayesian Nash Equilibria in this game. Assume that the probability that the cost of campaigning is high is a parameter p, 0 < p < 1. Show that when p is large enough, there is only one pure-strategy Bayesian Nash Equilibrium. What is it? What is the intuition? How large does p have to be?

You will get up vote for sure.Consider a Common Value auction with two bidders who both receive a signal X that is uniformly distributed between 0 and 1. The (common) value V of the good the players are bidding for is the average of the two signals, i.e. V = (X1+X2)/2. Compute the symmetric Nash equilibrium bidding strategy for the second-price sealed-bid auction assuming that players are risk-neutral and have standard selfish preferences. Furthermore, you may assume that the other bidder is following a linear bidding strategy. Make sure to explain your notation and the steps you take to derive the result.Suppose there are two players playing a game with east or west and south and nerth ways. Find the expected Nash equilibrium by using the concept of probabilities. Player X Left[L) Right|R) Player Y Up(U) (5,6) (0,8) (4,6) Down[D) (0,9)
- Consider a 4-bidder auction model. The auction is second price sealed bid. However, now, the bidders know each-others valuation. Assume that v1 > v2 > v3 > v4. Find a Nash Equilibrium of the 2nd price sealed-bid auction where bidder 4 obtains the object.A risk-neutral consumer is deciding whether to purchase a homogeneous product from one of two firms. One firm produces an unreliable product and the other a reliable product. At the time of the sale, the consumer is unable to distinguish between the two firms’ products. From the consumer’s perspective, there is an equal chance that a given firm’s product is reliable or unreliable. The maximum amount this consumer will pay for an unreliable product is $0, while she will pay $100 for a reliable product. a. Given this uncertainty, what is the most this consumer will pay to purchase one unit of this product? b. How much will this consumer be willing to pay for the product if the firm offering the reliable product includes a warranty that will protect the consumer? Explain.Consider the charity auction. In many charity auctions, altruistic celebrities auction objects with special value for their fans to raise funds for charity. Madonna, for example, held an auction to sell clothing worn during her career and raised about 3.2 million dollars. In the charity auction the winner of the lot is the highest bidder. The difference with the standard auction is that all bidders are required to pay an amount equal to what they bid. Suppose there are two bidders and assume bidders have valuations randomly drawn from the interval [2, 4] according to the uniform distribution. 1. Derive the equilibrium bidding function. Hint: After getting the differential equation given by the FOC, propose a non-linear bidding function b(v) = α + βv2 as solution. Your task is to find α and β. 2. Derive the revenue of the seller in the charity auction. 3. Would the seller obtain higher profits if she organized a first-price sealed bid auction instead? A. Yes, higher revenue B. No, lower…
- When a famous painting becomes available for sale, it is often known which museum or collector will be the likely winner. Yet, the auctioneer actively woos representatives of other museums that have no chance of winning to attend anyway. Suppose a piece of art has recently become available for sale and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, with the winner paying an amount equal to the second highest bid. Assume that most collectors know that Yakov places a value of $35,000 on the art piece and that he values this art piece more than any other collector. Suppose that if no one else shows up, Yakov simply bids $35,0002=$17,500 $35,000 2 = $17,500 and wins the piece of art. The expected price paid by Yakov, with no other bidders present, is. Suppose the owner of the artwork manages to recruit another bidder, Bob, to the auction. Bob is known to value the art piece at $28,000. The expected price paid by Yakov, given the presence of the second bidder Bob, is.Consider the following simultaneous move game where player 1 has two types. Player 2 does not know if he is playing with type a player 1 or type b player 1. Player 2 C D Player 1 A 12,9 3,6 B 6,0 6,9 C D A 0,9 3,6 B 6,0 6,9 Type a Player 1 Prob = 2/3 Type b Player 1 Prob = 1/3 Find the all the possible Bayesian Nash Equilibriums (BNE) of this game.Assume that two collectors, X and Y are in a first prize sealed bid auction for a batch of vintage comic books. X and Y have different valuations (V) for this batch of comic books e.g. VX And VB are between $2000 and $4000. Both collectors know their own V but does not know the V of the other collector. All they know is that the other collector’s V is a uniformly distributed number between $2000 and $4000. Assume risk neutrality for X and Y e.g. expected payoff for X is: (VX – bX)Pr(bX) and expected payoff for Y is (VY – bY)Pr(bY). These collectors will make their bids strategically. Show how X’s bidding strategy is bX = ½ Vx + 1 and Y’s is bY = ½ Vy +1 in a Nash equilibrium.
