The letters a, b, c, d, x, y, z, w represent the actions. Write down the table in your answer script too. Now answer the following questions: 1. What is the distinction between strictly dominant strategy and weakly dominant strategy? Is it reasonable for a player to play a strictly dominated strategy? Explain why. 2. What are the minimum values for p and q that will make ba strategy that strictly dominates all other strategies for player 1, assuming both p and q are natural numbers? 3. Does player 2 have any strictly dominated pure strategy? If yes, which pure strategy dominates that strategy? If the submit button is off it is beacuse the due…

(ii) A mixed strategy profile (p, q) is one in which p = (p,P2.... P) is the mixed strategy of player 1, and q- (g1, q2,..q4) is the mixed strategy of player 2. Show that if p, >0 in a Nash equilibrium profile (p*, q*), the player 2 must also play i with strictly positive probability q'; > 0. (State clearly any theorem you use to show this. You are not required to justify the theorem.) %3D

Suppose that the game is repeated for two periods and the players know that the game will end at the end of two periods. They observe the first period outcome before they move to the second period. Assume that there is no discounting, i.e. 2nd period payoffs are not discounted. Which of the following outcomes could occur in some subgame perfect equilibrium (SPE) of this repeated game? Choose True if you think the outcome can be a SPE, otherwise choose False. i. (B, B) is played in the first period, (C, C) is played in the second period. ii. (A, A) is played in both periods. iii. (C, C) is played in both periods.
In Homework 1, we saw that there is no strict dominant strategy equilibrium in an inspection game. Thus, the players must randomize and play a mixed strategy in equilibrium. Suppose the agent shirks with probability p₁ and works with probability (1 - p₁), while the principal inspects with probability p2 and does not inspect with probability (1-P2). Find the mixed strategy equilibrium for this game. I NI S (0, -k) (w, -w) W (w c, p-w-k)| (wc, p-w) Table 1: Payoff matrix for the inspection game

The fraction of the population who are cooperators is a. a) Write the expected return functions for cooperate and defect as a function of s and a. b) Under which conditions does an interior equilibrium exist for the fraction of the population playing cooperate (a) c) If the interior equilibrium for a exists, is the interior equilibrium unstable or stable? d) Find the impact of higher s on the interior equilibrium for a.
