(Game Theory) While grading a final exam, an econom- ics professor discovers that two students have virtually identical answers. She is convinced the two cheated but cannot prove it. The professor speaks with each student separately and offers the following deal: Sign a statement admitting to cheating. If both students sign the statement, each will receive an “F" for the course. If only one signs, he is allowed to withdraw from the cours- while the other student is expelled. If neither signs, both receive a "C" because the professor does not have suf- ficient evidence to prove cheating. a. Draw the payoff matrix. b. Which outcome do you expect? Why?

Why?A game is played as follows: First Player 1 decides (Y or N) whether or not to play.If she chooses N, the game ends. If she chooses Y, then Player 2 decides (Y or N) whetheror not to play. If he chooses N the game ends. If he chooses Y, then they go ahead and playanother game with the payoffs shown below. A player who opts out by choosing N gets 2 andthe other player gets 0.

Side-impact airbags raise the price of each automobile by $1,000. If both firms make side-impact airbags standard equipment, each company will earn profits of $1.6 billion. If neither company adopts the side-impact airbag technology, each company will earn $0.6 billion. If one company adopts the technology as standard equipment and the other does not, the adopting company will earn a profit of $2.5 billion and the other company will earn $-0.8 billion.

Consider a game where each player picks a number from 0 to 60. The guess that is closest to half ofthe average of the chosen numbers wins a prize. If several peopleare equally close, then they share theprize. The game theory implies that (A) all players have dominant strategies to choose 0 (B) all players have dominant strategies to choose 30 (C) there is a Nash equilibrium where all players pick 0 (D) there is a Nash equilibrium where all players pick positive numbers 13. Behavioral data in such games suggests that (A) most subjects choose 0; (B) most subjects choose 30; (C) common answers include 30, 15, 7.5, and 0; (D) most subjects use randomization.

- Question 4. Zeynep and Mehmet will eventually play the following game. Mehmet L R U 3,1 0,0 Zeynep D 0,3 1,3 In a preliminary stage, Zeynep has already asked Mehmet to allow her to move first and proposed to pay him 1 unit of her own payoff in exchange. So Mehmet has to options: • If he accepts Zeynep's offer: they will play the sequential move version of the above game in which Zeynep moves first. Mehmet will receive 1 unit of utility more, and Zeynep will receive 1 unit of utility less (in any outcome of the game) compared to the payoffs given in the bimatrix. 2 • If he rejects Zeynep's offer: they will play the simultaneous move game. a. Represent this strategic interaction in a game tree. b. How many information sets does each player have? c. Characterize the set of pure strategies for both players. d.

Whichever firm is first to develop the new widget wins a patent worth $20 million plus a penny.Developing a new widget involves several ‘steps’. The firms alternate moves, with A moving first, until oneof them wins the patent. All moves are observed. In each turn, a firm can choose whether to take 0, 1, or2 development ‘steps’. Taking 0 steps in a turn costs that firm $0. Taking 1 step in a turn costs $4 million.And taking 2 steps in a turn costs $11 million. For simplicity, assume a zero discount rate. Initially, eachfirm is 4 steps away from completing development.(a) Describe and explain carefully what will happen in this patent race and why. [Hint: it may help toread Dutta ch 12 (but notice I changed the numbers).](b) Very briefly explain what is the economic rationale for granting ‘intellectual property rights’ such aspatents. What are some disadvantages for society of granting such rights?
