Suppose Andrew and Beth are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Andrew chooses Right and Beth chooses Right, Andrew will receive a payoff of 5 and Beth will receive a payoff of 5.

the Consider a simultaneous-move integer game between two players: Marilyn and Noah. Each of player is required to announce a positive integer between 1 to 4. In other words, a player can announce 1, 2, 3, or 4. Two players announce their integers simultaneously. Notice that this game is different from the games we learned in class in that each player has four actions to take. The payoffs of the players in the game are specified as follows: (1) when the two announced integers are different, whoever reports the lower number pays $1 to the other player, so that the loser of the game has payoff -1 and the winner of the game has payoff 1; (2) when the two players announce the same integer, their payoffs are both O. What is Marilyn's maximin strategy? 01 02 03 O

6. Using a payoff matrix to determine the equilibrium outcome Suppose there are only two firms that sell tablets: Padmania and Capturesque. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn, depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its tablets. Capturesque Pricing High Low High 11, 11 2, 18 Padmania Pricing Low 18, 2 10, 10 For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Padmania prices low and Capturesque prices high, Padmania will earn a profit of $18 million, and Capturesque will earn a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Padmania and Capturesque are both profit-maximizing firms. If Padmania prices high, Capturesque will make more profit if it chooses a ▼ price, and if Padmania prices low, Capturesque will make more profit if it chooses a price. If Capturesque prices high, Padmania will make more profit if it chooses a price, and if Capturesque prices low, Padmania will make more profit if it chooses…
Consider the following centipede game consisting of two players, Pl and P2. The left/right number each terminal node represents Pl's/P2's payoff, respectively. Then, answer the following questions of [D5] and [M5]-|M8]: P1 G P2 P1 G -(0, 2) D (2, 0) (1, 1) (4, 0) Suppose that P2 chooses G or D randomly. Then, what is the Pl's best response of P1 for the P2's choice? And explain why. We assume that random choice is level-0 in the level-k theory. Then, answer the P2's choice in level-2.

Consider a new card game between 2 players: Jim (player 1) and Kelly (player 2) Jim is dealt two cards : 09 and 49. Kelly is also dealt two cards: 06 and 4. Now, each of the players will play 1 card both at the same time. The payoff of Jim is 1 points if he plays a card of opposite color (red/black) than Kelly, and otherwise his payoff is 7 points. The payoff of Kelly is 5 points if the difference of the already played card numbers is greater than 6, otherwise her payoff is 8 points. 1. Find the action sets of each player and the action profile of the game. 2. Represent the game in the Normal form. 3. Find the Best Responses for Jim. 4. Find the Best Responses for Kelly. 5. Find all the Nash Equilibriums of the game (if any).

Consider the following game. You will roll a fair, 6-sided die either once or twice. You decide whether to do the second roll after you see how the first one lands. The payoff is $n, where n is the outcome of the last roll. For example, if the first roll lands 4 and the second lands 2, you win $2. If you only do one roll and it lands 4, you win $4. Suppose you make your decision about whether to go for a second roll based on expected monetary value. Then you will go for a second roll if (and only if) the first roll lands x or lower. What is x?
