Two firms are considering going out of business and selling their assets. Each considers what happens if the other goes out of business. The payoff matrix below shows the net gain or loss to each firm Firm A Staya in business Sells business Firm B Stays in business A gains $90 million A gains $70 million B gains $70 million B gains $40 million A gains $40 million A gains S10 million B gains $80 million B gains $30 million Sells business Refer to Table. The dominant strategy for firm B is to not stay in business and there is no dominant strategy for firm A causing a 540 milion gain for firm A at the Nash equilibrium, for both firms is to stay in business causing a $70 million gain for firm B at the Nash equilibrium. for both firms is to not stay in business causing a $10 million gain for firm A at the Nash equilibrium. for firm Ais to stay in business and there is no dominant strategy for firm B causing a $80 million gain for firm B.

Players simultaneously announce the share they would like to receive $₁ and $2, with 0 ≤ $1, S2 ≤ 1. If $1 + $2 ≤ 1, then the players receive the shares they named and if 8₁ + 82 > 1, then both players fail to achieve an agreement and receive zero. Which of the following strategy profiles is a pure strategy Nash equilibrium? O a) (0.3, 0.7); Ob) (0.5, 0.5); O c) (1.0, 1.0); Od) All of the above

The following problem was first considered by John von Neumann and is a fundamentalresult game theory.A and B play the following game:A writes down either number 1 or number 2, and B must guess which one.If the number that A has written down is i and B has guessed correctly, B receives i units from A.If B makes a wrong guess, B pays 4/5 of a unit to A.First we consider the expected gain of player B.Suppose B guesses 1 with probability p and 2 with probability 1 −p.Let X1 denote B’s gain (or loss) in a game where A has written down 1.Let X2 denote B’s gain (or loss) in a game where A has written down 2.(a) Find the pmf of X1 and X2(b) Find B’s expected gain for these two cases, E[X1] and E[X2].(c) What value of p maximizes the minimum possible value of B’s expected gain?Now consider the expected loss of player ASuppose that A writes down 1 with probability q and 2 with probability 1 −q.Let Y1 be A’s loss (or gain) if B chooses number 1.Let Y2 be A’s loss (or gain) if B…

Game Theory Question A non-profit firm is on a local community online donation platform for a community event it wants to hold (only community members can donate via the website). The event will be held only if the non-profit firm collects $20,000 total from members of the community. Each member values the event at $500. Suppose that there are 100 community members. Community members can only donate by purchasing a lottery ticket from the firm. Each ticket costs $200 and only one ticket can be purchased per member. The proceeds will be collected by the firm. The lottery winner gets a premier meal at a local restaurant that's worth $100. Remember, the firm keeps all the donated money. If the amount of donations is less than $20,000, then the firm returns the donated money to the community members (since there'll be no event held but the lottery winner still gets to eat that fancy meal). If the donations sum up to $20,000, the community event will take place. What are the Nash…
Three roommates, Jim, Saleem, and Ritesh, are thinking about buying a new speaker system for their apartment. The speaker system would be a public good if they buy them, and the total cost would be $300 which would be shared equally among the three. Jim values it at $80, Saleem values it at $140, and Ritesh values it at $70. If the speakers are purchased each person gets a payoff equal to their net valuation (valuation minus cost share); if they are not purchased each gets zero payoff. a)Is it socially efficient that they buy the speaker system? With reference to the definition of a public good, why or why not? The roommates decide that they will write down their net valuations, and if these reports sum to more than zero, they will buy the TV (sharing the cost equally), or else they will not. b) If all were to report their true valuations, what payoff would each agent earn? c) Show that if Jim and Ritesh submit their true net valuation, then Saleem does better by submitting a false…
Firm B Q=5 Q=6 Q=5 (24, 24) (30, 10) Q=6 (10, 30) (19, 19) Firm A This table shows a game played between two firms, Firm A and Firm B. In this game each firm must decide how much output (Q) to produce: 5 units or 6 units. The profit for each firm is given in the table as (Profit for Firm A, Profit for Firm B). Refer to Table. The dominant strategy For Firm A is to produce 5 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 6 units. 5 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 5 units. 6 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 5 units. 6 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 6 units.
4. Consider the following game. There are two players and two possible simultaneous move games A and B. Player 1 first chooses which game is to be played; both player observe which game is played and choose their strategy. The payoff matrices for Game A and B are given by : where k> >0. Game A U D L (10,5) (0,0) R (0,0) (5,10) Game B: U D (a) Write down the extensive form of this game. (b) Assume k = 2. Solve for all subgame perfect Nash equilibria of this game.
