Assume the following game situation: If Player A plays UP and Player B plays LEFT then Player A gets $2 and Player B gets $4. If Player A plays UP and Player B plays RIGHT then Þlayer A gets $3 and Player B gets $6. If Player A plays DOWN and Player B plays LEFT then Player A gets $5 and Player B gets $2. If Player A plays DOWN and Player B plays RIGHT then Player A gets $1 and Player B gets $1. What is the mixed strategy expected payout for Player A?

6) Consider the following signaling game: 20, 5 0,0 10, -10 -10,0 Left Left Right Right Player 2 Player 2 1-a Up Up Nature Player 1-A Player 1-B Туре А — 50% Туре В — 50% Down Down Player 2 1-B Player 2 Left Right Left Right 10,5 0,0 5, -10 0,0 Let's see if it has a pooling equilibrium. Follow the following steps: a. Specify strategies of a possible pooling equilibrium b. Determine player 2’s on-path beliefs for the belief probabilities a and ß as appropriate. You can infer these beliefs from what we know about beliefs in pooling equilibria, and do not have fully calculate them. c. Check whether either player wants to deviate. Is there a pooling equilibrium? d. Determine the off-path beliefs that make the equilibrium hold.

4. Consider a two player game with Fred and Barney, who tal turns removing matchsticks from a pile. They start with 33 matchsticks, and Fred goes first. On each turn, ecach player may remove either one, two, three, four, or five matchsticks. The player to remove the last matchstick wins the game. What are the optimal strategies for each player? Who will win? b. Suppose now that they can remove up to six matchsticks, how will the optimal strategies change for- each player? a.
10. Here's another game that has interested researchers, especially those of the type who work in the Max Gluskin House on campus at UofT. It's also a two-player game, but this time the payment is integral to describing the game. There is no direct Researcher involvement in the game, other than potentially as the source of a payout. For the sake of describing the game, imagine that Anson and Kanav are our two players and that they are playing the game virtually via Zoom for bitcoins, denoted B. There are always two piles of bitcoin in play: a larger one and a smaller one. Ahead of the game Anson and Kanav decide the maximum number 2n of turns, for some n E N greater than or equal to 1. • During the first turn the large pile of bitcoin has 4 Band the smaller pile of bitcoin has 1 B. Anson can either take the bitcoin or pass. If Anson (4 B) takes the bitcoin he gets the larger pile, Kanav gets the smaller pile (1 B) and the game ends. If he passes, the size of each pile is doubled. • Now…

7. Which of the following is not true of the “Battle of the Sexes" Game? a. The predicted outcome demonstrates how independent and rational play by players can quickly reach an agreement or a convergence of expectations concerning which strategy will be played by each player in equilibrium. b. The Battle of the Sexes Game can be used to depict a variety of situations where the players' interests do not precisely coincide, except for the fact that they both want to avoid the outcomes that would result from choosing different actions from one another. c. Players do not have a dominant strategy but playing “Boxing" say, is a best response to the other playing "Boxing" even if it doesn't give the player the payoff associated with his or her preferred alternative. d. Played only once, the outcome where each goes to their preferred venue cannot be Nash Equilibrium.

Use the following game table to answer the question: Player 2 Y 6, 3 1, 3 A 10, 5 0,0 Player 1 B 2,6 0,0 3,5 3, 4 3, 3 Is the Nash equilibrium of this game for Player 1 to choose A and Player 2 to choose X? Why or why not? O It is; if Player 2 chose B or C they would get less than 10, and if Player 1 chose Y or Z they would get less than 5. It is not; Player 2 could get 6, instead of 5, if they chose B. O It is; if Player 1 chose B or C they would get less than 10, and if Player 2 chose Y or Z they would get less than 5. It is; if Player 2 chose B or C they would get less than 5, and if Player 1 chose Y or Z they would get less than 10. It is not; Player 1 could get 6, instead of 5, if they chose B.
