Ex. 5-- Agenda SettingAn agenda-setting game is described as follows. The "issue space" (set of feasible poli-cies) is an interval X = [0,5]. An agenda setter (player 1) proposes an alternative x = Xagainst the status quo q = 4. After player 1 proposes x, the legislator (player 2) ob-serves the proposal and selects between the proposal x and the status quo q. Player 1'smost-preferred policy is 1, and for any final policy y = X his payoff is given byv1(y) = 10|y — 1|,-where |y1| denotes the absolute value of (y-1). Player 2's most preferred policy is 3,any final policy y Є X he payoff is given byand forv2(y) = 10|y3|.That is, each player prefers policies that are closer to his/her most-preferred policy.(1) Write down the strategic-form representation of the dynamic game.(2) Find a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium. Is it unique?

Consider two players, designated by i = 1,2, involved in a dynamic bargaining over a perfectly divisible surplus of size 1. At the beginning of the interaction (at timet 1), player 1 chooses x1 in [0, 1]. Player 2 observes this offer and decides whether or not to accept it. If player 2 accepts this offer, the game ends and the utilities of player 1 and 2 equal x1 and 1- x1, respectively. If player 2 does not accept this offer, the game goes into the second round with a probability of \pi = 2|1/2-x11, while with probability 1 -\ pi the game ends and both players get a payoff of 0. If the game reaches the second round, t = 2, player 2 makes a counter-offer x2 in [0, 1] observing the whole past. Player 1 sees this offer and decides whether or not to accept it. If player 1 accepts x2, then the game ends and player 1 gets a payoff of x2 and player 2 a utility of 1 - x2. Both players get a payoff of zero when player 1 rejects player 2's offer x2 and the game ends. We assume that the game is…
Type out the correct answer ASAP with proper explanation of it In the Ultimatum Game, player 1 is given some money (e.g. $10; this is public knowledge), and may give some or all of this to player 2. In turn, player 2 may accept player 1’s offer, in which case the game is over; or player 2 may reject player 1’s offer, in which case neither player gets any money, and the game is over. a. If you are player 2 and strictly rational, explain why you would accept any positive offer from player 1. b. In reality, many players reject offers from player 1 that are significantly below 50%. Why
Table 9-03. Suppose you are a general in the army. Your country is at war. You are trying to invade the enemy. You can attack on the enemys east coast or the west coast. The enemy has only enough troops to defend one coast. The payoff matrix below represents whether you or the enemy wins (represented by 1) or loses (represented by 0). Enemy Defend east coast Defend west coast Enemy: 1 Enemy: 0 Attack east coast You: 0 You: 1 You Enemy: 0 Enemy: 1 Attack west coast You: 1 You: 0 Refer to Table 9-03. To win the war, O a. you must attack the west coast, only if you have credible information that the enemy is defending the east coast. O b. you must attack the west coast, and information about whether the enemy is defending the east or the west coast is irrelevant to you. c. you must attack the west coast, only if you have credible information that the enemy is defending the west coast. d. you must never attack the west coast, and information about whether the enemy is defending the east or…
Consider the following game - one card is dealt to player 1 ( the sender) from a standard deck of playing cards. The card may either be red (heart or diamond) or black (spades or clubs). Player 1 observes her card, but player 2 (the receiver) does not - Player 1 decides to Play (P) or Not Play (N). If player 1 chooses not to play, then the game ends and the player receives -1 and player 2 receives 1. - If player 1 chooses to play, then player 2 observes this decision (but not the card) and chooses to Continue (C) or Quit (Q). If player 2 chooses Q, player 1 earns a payoff of 1 and player 2 a payoff of -1 regardless of player 1's card - If player 2 chooses continue, player 1 reveals her card. If the card is red, player 1 receives a payoff of 3 and player 2 a payoff of -3. If the card is black, player 1 receives a payoff of 2 and player 2 a payoff of -1 a. Draw the extensive form game b.

Here is a Bayesian BOS game. Man has a special preference t1 on boxing while woman has a special preference t2 on opera. Both are in [0,2]. The preference information is private. i.e. Each knows his (her) own preference but does not know the other's preference. The below is the payoff. M/W Boxing Opera Воxing 3+t1,1 0,0 Opera 0,0 1,3+t2 We are checking whether the below strategy profile is a Bayesian Nash Equilibrium. "Man chooses boxing if t1>p while woman chooses opera if t2>g." 1) Given t1, man will choose boxing if t1> /g- 2) Given t2, woman will choose opera if t2> /p- 4) By shoving the simultaneous equations, we get p=q=sqrt(6)-
Find the SPNE for the centipede game. Centipede game: Two players, 1 and 2, take turns choosing one of two actions each time, continue or stop. They both start with $1 in their respective piles, and each time i says continue, $1 is taken away from his pile, and $2 are added to the other player's pile. The game automatically stops when both players have $100 in their respective piles.
Question 2. Two students are working together to submit their Microeconomics mid-semester group coursework. Each student i can put in the effort x; that costs c(x;), in which x; E [0, 1]. This gives each student the utility of u(x1, x2). Formu- late this situation as a strategic game.
Question 4 Consider allocating an object to one of two players when each player's pref- erences are her private information. Player 1's value for the object, denoted by vị is drawn from a continuous distribution with (1. 2] as its support. Player 2's value for the object, denoted by v2, is likewise drawn from the interval 0, 1]. 1. What is the equilibrium in dominant strategies if a second price auction is used to allocate the object. Is the outcome ex-post efficient? 2. For what pairs (v1, v2) should Player 1 and Player 2 respectively be allocated the object in a mechanism that maximizes expected revenue for the seller? 3. Comment on the differing allocations you obtained in the previous two parts.
Jane is interested in buying a car from a used car dealer. Her maximum willingness to pay for thecar is 12 ($12,000). Bo, the dealer, is willing to sell the car as long as he receives at least 9($9,000). What is the Nash bargaining solution to this game?
3. Two individuals are involved in a synergistic relationship. If both individuals devote more effort to the relationship, they are both better off. Specifically, an effort level is a nonnegative number, and player 1's payoff function is e₁(1+€₂-e₁), where ei is player i's effort level. For player 2 the cost of effort is either the same as that of player 1, and hence her payoff function is given by e2(1+e₁ - e₂), or effort is very costly for her in which case her payoff function is given by e₂(1 + e₁ — 2e2). 1 Player 2 knows player 1's payoff function and whether the cost of effort is high for herself or not. Player 1, however, is uncertain about player 2's cost of effort. He believes that the cost of effort is low with probability p, and high with probability 1 - p, where 0 < p < 1. Find the Bayesian Nash equilibrium of this game as a function of p.
An auditor and a taxpayer play the following strategic game. The auditor must choose whether to Audit (A) the taxpayer or not (N). The taxpayer independently decides whether to be Honest (H) in reporting her income or to Cheat (C). Since auditing is costly, the auditor prefers not to audit the taxpayer if she reports honestly, but prefers to audit if the axpayer cheats. If the taxpayer is caught cheating (i.e. if she cheats and is audited), then she receives a severe punishment. If she is not caught, she prefers cheating to being honest. Suppose that payoffs are as in the following matrix: Auditor Taxpayer C 4, -10 0,4 H A 2,0 N 4,0 (a) Find all (mixed strategy) Nash equilibria of this game. Solution: There is no NE in pure strategies. Moreover, since each pure strategy has a unique best response, there is no NE in which either player plays a pure strategy. If the Auditor chooses A with probability p and the Taxpayer chooses H with probability q, then the condition for the Auditor to…
A and B are a couple and they want to go into a concert. A comes from Bonn and loves the music of Ludwig van Beethoven. B comes from Salzburg and loves the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. There are two concerts in town: one with the music of Beethoven and one with the music of Mozart. Both (A and B) prefer to go to a concert together. If both go to a concert of Beethoven, A has a pay-off of 4 and B has a pay-off of 2. If both go to a concert of Mozart, B has a pay-off of 4 and A has a pay-off of 2. If A goes to a concert of Mozart and B to a concert of Beethoven, they are both miserable and get a pay-off of 0. But, if B goes to a concert of Mozart and A to a concert of Beethoven, they are both a little better off with a pay-off of 1. Both A and B have to make a simultaneous decision and cannot communicate prior to the decision. (a) Construct the pay-off matrix for this game. (b) Identify the Nash equilibrium or equilibria of the game. (c) Which off the allocations are…
