1. Consider a two player, simultaneous move game. The strategies available to each player and payoffs are shown in the following matrix form: T Player 1 M B Player 2 L R 6,4 5,2 8,5 4,4 9,3 5,9 7,5 4,4 5,2 Game 5 a) Find and write down the Nash equilibria in pure strategies, if any exist. b) Say that instead of being a simultaneous move game this game had been sequential. First player 1 will choose a strategy and then player 2 will observe the choice made by player 1 and choose a strategy. The full structure of the game, including all payoffs, is common knowledge to both players. Sketch a game tree to represent the extensive form of this game. Find and write down the subgame perfect Nash equilibria.

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.
