a) Find the Nash equilibria in the game (in pure and mixed strategies) and the associated payoffs for the players. b) Now assume that the game is extended in the following way: in the beginning Player 1 can decide whether to opt out (this choice is denoted by O) or whether to play the simultaneous-move game in a) (this choice is denoted by G). If Player 1 opts out (plays O) then both Player 1 and Player 2 get a payoff of 4 each and the game ends. If Player 1 decides to play G, then the simultaneous-move game is played. Find the pure-strategy Nash equilibria in this extended version of the game. (Hint: note that Player 1 now has 4 strategies and write the game up in a 4x2 matrix.) c) Write the game in (b) up in extensive form (a game tree). Identify the subgames of this game.
Which one of the following descriptions is WRONG, according to this Extensive Form shown below? 1.) There are 8 strategy profiles in this game. 2.) If Player 1 chooses strategy IA and Player 2 chooses strategy O, then player 1's payoff will be 4. 3.) If Player 1 chooses strategy OB and Player 2 chooses strategy I, then Player 2's payoff will be 2. 4.) Game over if Player 1 chooses O initially.
Question 1 Consider the following game. Player 1 has 3 actions (Top, middle,Bottom) and player 2 has three actions (Left, Middle, Right). Each player chooses their action simultaneously. The game is played only once. The first element of the payoff vector is player 1’s payoff. Note that one of the payoffs to player 2 has been omitted (denoted by x). 1. Determine the range of values for x such that Player 2 has a strictly dominant strategy.
Consider two players in the game-theoretic setting below: Player 2 Choice A Choice B Choice 20 |-30 A -20 30 Player 1 Choice |-30 40 B 30 -40 What is the (pure-strategy) Nash equilibrium? There are more than one (pure-strategy) Nash equilibria. O (P1, P2) = (A, B) is the only (pure-strategy) Nash equilibrium. O (P1, P2) = (A, A) is the only (pure-strategy) Nash equilibrium. O There is no (pure-strategy) Nash equilibrium. O (P1, P2) = (B, A) is the only (pure-strategy) Nash equilibrium. (P1, P2) = (B, B) is the only (pure-strategy) Nash equilibrium.
Consider the following two-player game.First, player 1 selects a number x≥0. Player 2 observes x. Then, simultaneously andindependently, player 1 selects a number y1 and player 2 selects a number y2, at which pointthe game ends.Player 1’s payoff is: u1(x; y1) = −3y21 + 6y1y2 −13x2 + 8xPlayer 2’s payoff is: u2(y2) = 6y1y2 −6y22 + 12xy2Draw the game tree of this game and identify its Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium.
Consider the following sequential game. Player 1 plays first, and then Player 2 plays after observing the choice of Player 1 (if necessary). At the bottom of the decision tree, the first number represents the payoff of Player 1, while the second number represents the payoff of Player 2. In equilibrium, the payoff of Player 1 is ✓ and the payoff of player 2 is Player 2 L₂ (-1,8) L₁ Player 1 R₂ (100,1) R₁ (1,0)

Suppose two players play a two-period repeated game, where the stage game is the normal-form game shown below. Is there a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium in which the players select (A, X) in the first period? If so, fully describe such equilibrium. If not, explain why not. Player 1 has choice A, B; Player 2 has choice X, Y, Z. Payoff: (A,X)-(5,7), (A,Y)-(2,4), (A,Z)-(3,8), (B,X)-(1,4), (B,Y)-(3,5), (B,Z)-(1,4)

Consider a game in which player 1 first selects between I and O. If player 1 selects O, then the game ends with the payoff vector (x, 1) (x for player 1), where x is some positive number. If player 1 selects I, then this selection is revealed to player 2 and then the players play the battle-of-the-sexes game in which they simultaneously and independently choose between A and B. If they coordinate on A, then the payoff vector is (5, 1). If they coordinate on B, then the payoff vector is (1, 5). If they fail to coordinate, then the payoff vector is (0, 0). c) Calculate the mixed-strategy Nash equilibria and note how they depend on x. d) Represent the proper subgame in the normal form and find its equilibria.
See the extensive form game in the image attached (the payoffs of player 1 are written on top and the payoffs of player 2 are on the bottom). a) Write this game in normal form (a player's strategy is a complete contingent plan that tells them what to play at each of their information sets) (b) Find all the Nash equilibria of the normal form game from part (a)
Consider the following game. There are two payers, Player 1 and Player 2. Player 1 chooses a row (10, 20, or 30), and Player 2 chooses a column (10/20/30). Payoffs are in the cells of the table, with those on the left going to Player 1 and those on the right going to player 2. Suppose that Player 1 chooses his strategy (10, 20 or 30), first, and subsequently, and after observing Player 1’s choice, Player 2 chooses his own strategy (of 10, 20 or 30). Which of the following statements is true regarding this modified game? I. It is a simultaneous move game, because the timing of moves is irrelevant in classifying games.II. It is a sequential move game, because Player 2 observes Player 1’s choice before he chooses his own strategy.III. This modification gives Player 1 a ‘first mover advantage’.
