Manny buys a tuna sandwich at the school cafeteria. After buying the required textbook for his class, his best friend Lucas, didn't have any money left to buy lunch that day. Manny is deciding whether he would share his food with Lucas or not. In the end, he cut his tuna sandwich in half so that he could share half with Lucas. Which of the following statements is true? The tuna sandwich is non-rivalrous in nature. O The tuna sandwich is considered a collective good. O The tuna sandwich is considered a private good. The tuna sandwich is non-excludable in nature. O This is a classic example of Tragedy of the Commons.

4. Some types of resource conflicts can be modeled using the following game. Two players would each like to capture a valuable resource, worth R. Each player must choose a strategy from {Amicable, Belligerent}. If one player chooses Belligerent while the other chooses Amicable, the first will walk away with the resource, leaving nothing for the other player. If they both choose Amicable, the resource will be split equally between them. If they both choose Belligerent, the resource will also be split equally between them, but they will each suffer a cost C. P2 Amicable Belligerent 0, R R/2-C, R/2-C P1 Amicable R/2, R/2 Belligerent R, 0 4.1. What NEs in pure strategies will the game have for the case where a) R/2 > C, b) R/2 < C and c) R/2 = C? 4.2. Find a Nash equilibrium (NE) in fully (strictly) mixed strategies for this game using the indifference property. Assume that R and C are configured so that a fully mixed NE exists. 4.3. How is the mixed strategy NE affected by changes to R…
The payoff matrix below describes a one-shot game in which two farmers ("Player A" and "Player B") choose between planting corn or planting wheat. The payoffs in this matrix represent thousands of dollars of income, so more is better. Pla yer A Plant Corn Plant Wheat What kind of equilibrium is this? Plant Corn Dominant Strategy Equilibrium Nash equilibrium 3, 3 Player B 5,0 Both a Nash and a Dominant Strategy Equilibrium O No equilibrium Plant Wheat 0,5 1, 1
Question 24 In the coordination game shared in class and in the textbook, it shows players Alex and Tyler coordinating over using Microsoft or Apple software. The strategies lead to a situation with two Nash Equilibria where both use Microsoft or both use Apple with each associated with different equal payoffs. This game is illustrating which concept of Network Goods? O The contestability of the market for a network good. O The "best" product may not win. O The coordination amongst competing network goods. O The required scale of success in the market.
Use the table to answer the question.Peter and Olga live near a lake with open fishing, and both have fishing boats there. They are the only two sellers in their local fish market. What is likely to be the outcome in a Nash equilibrium? Peter and Olga Fish in the Lake Peter fishes every day Olga fishes every day Both Olga and Peter have smaller and smaller catches over time Peter fishes two times each week Olga catches and sells more fish than Peter Olga fishes two timeseach week Peter catches and sells more fish than Olga Both Olga and Peter have large catches each fishing trip Oa. Both Olga and Peter continue to have large catches on each fishing trip. Ob. Peter catches and sells more fish than Olga. OC. Olga catches and sells more fish than Peter. Od. Both Olga and Peter have smaller and smaller catches over time.
3. Consider the following game with nature: 6, 8 X Y 4, 5, 0 X 4, 6 Y 2 (p) L (1-P) High Low L' H 1 M (1/2) (1/2) 2 M' (9) (1-q) X' 3, 3 Y 10,7 X' 3, 0 Y' 8, 4 Does this game have any separating perfect Bayesian equilibrium? Show your analysis and, if there is such an equilibrium, report it (only one is required).
There are a kicker and a goalie who confront each other in a penalty kick that willdetermine the outcome of the game. The kicker can kick the ball left or right, while the goaliecan choose to jump left or right. Because of the speed of the kick, the decisions need to bemade simultaneously. If the goalie jumps in the same direction as the kick, then the goalie winsand the kicker loses. If the goalie jumps in the opposite direction of the kick then the kickerwins and the goalie loses. Model this as a strategic form game and write down the matrix thatrepresents the game you modeled. Find the Nash equilibrium.
In the game below, there are two equilibriums: both players play conserve or both players play plunder. If the game is repeated multiple times, players can maintain equilibrium in which conserve is played if: Player 2 Player 1 Conserve Plunder Select one: a. Conserve 100, 100 50,-100 Plunder -100, 50 0,0 Game is repeated many times and discount rates are high O b. Game is repeated few times and discount rates are low O c. Game is repeated few times and discount rates are high O d. Game is repeated many times and discount rates are low
Consider the following price game: Firm 1 Firm 2 High Low High 20, 20 12, 24 Low 24, 12 14, 14 Remark: In simultaneous move games (games with rows and columns) theconvention is to write the row player’s payoff first and the column player’spayoff second. (a) What is the Nash equilibrium of this game? Recall that for each playeryou should find the best response to each of the opponents’ strategies andunderline the associated payoff. Then look for a cell where both strategiesare best responses to each other. This is a Nash equilibrium. (b) Does either firm have a dominate strategy (a strategy that is always abest response)?
The next 3 questions involve the following game. There are two players, a husband and wife. They can either be selfish (S) or selfless (U) in their marriage. If they choose to be selfish, then there is a negative ʻguilt’ payoff of g. The payoff matrix is below. Figure 1: The Marriage Game Wife S U S 10-g, 10-g 15-g, 2 U 2, 15-g 12, 12 Number left (right) of comma refers to H's (W's) payoff. 40. Suppose that g = 0. What is the Nash equilibrium (or equilibria)? (A) (S, S). (B) (U, S) and (S, U). (C) (S, S) and (U, U) (D) (U, U). 41. Suppose that g = 5. What is the Nash equilibrium (or equilibria)? (A) (S, S). (B) (U, S) and (S, U). (C) (S, S) and (U, U) (D) (U, U). 42. Suppose that g = 10. What is the Nash equilibrium (or equilibria)? (A) (S, S). (B) (U, S) and (S, U). (C) (S, S) and (U, U) (D) (U, U).

Mary and Raj are the only two growers whoprovide organically grown corn to a local grocery store.They know that if they cooperated and produced lesscorn, they could raise the price of the corn. If theywork independently, they will each earn $100. If theydecide to work together and both lower their output,they can each earn $150. If one person lowers outputand the other does not, the person who lowers outputwill earn $0 and the other person will capture the entiremarket and will earn $200. Table 10.6 represents thechoices available to Mary and Raj. What is the bestchoice for Raj if he is sure that Mary will cooperate? IfMary thinks Raj will cheat, what should Mary do andwhy? What is the prisoner’s dilemma result? What is thepreferred choice if they could ensure cooperation? A =Work independently; B = Cooperate and Lower Output.(Each results entry lists Raj’s earnings first, and Mary'searnings second.)
You are playing a game with a friend. It’s yourmove but you don’t have a dominant strategy.Your payoff depends on what your friend doesafter your move. You consider flipping a coin todecide what to do. You are about to reach for acoin, but then you realize that your friend has adominant strategy. Explain how using backwardinduction (rather than a coin toss) will now determine your next move
Consider the battle of the sexes game from class. Here is they matrix for the simultaneous-move game. Stevie Football Game Concert Football 10, 20 0, 0 Lindsay Concert 5, 5 20, 10 a. Now consider this game if Stevie moves first. Draw the game tree and find the Nash equilibrium (technically it's the subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium). b. Now do the same thing if Lindsay moves first. c. If you were playing this game would you rather move first or second?
