If you advertise and your rival advertises, you each will earn $4 million in profits. If neither of you advertises, you will each earn $10 million in profits. However, if one of you advertises and the other does not, the firm that advertises will earn $1 million and the non-advertising firm will earn $5 million. If you and your rival plan to be in business for 10 years, then the Nash equilibrium is Multiple Choice for each firm to advertise every year. for neither firm to advertise in early years but to advertise in later years.

Consider the following representation of a hockey shootout. The shooter can shoot on their forehand, or deke to their backhand, and the goalie can anticipate either move. The number in each cell in the table below represents the percentage chance that the shooter scores for each pair of pure strategies. Anticipate Forehand Anticipate Backhand Shoot Forehand 20 40 Deke Backhand 40 10 In the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium of this game, what is the percentage chance that the player scores? (ie. An 80% chance should be recorded as 80)
q52 If you advertise and your rival advertises, you each will earn 14 million in profits. If neither of you advertises, you will each earn 20 million in profits. However, if one of you advertises and the other does not, the firm that advertises will earn 10 million and the non-advertising firm will earn 16 million. If you and your rival plan to be in business for only one year, the Nash equilibrium is a. for each firm to advertise. b. for the other firm to advertise and your firm not to advertise. c. for your firm to advertise and the other not to advertise. d. for neither firm to advertise.
Airbus and Boeing are the two largest producers of commercial aircraft in the world. They are each trying to determine whether or not they should build an ultra-large passenger plane. They have both decided that building such a plane would be profitable, but only if one of them produces it. The market is simply not large enough for them to both make profits selling this new plane. Consequently, if they both produce the plane, each will lose $10 billion. If only one of them produces, that firm will make $50 billion. Regardless of what the other does, if they choose not to produce the plane, they neither make nor lose money. a. Construct the normal or strategic form of this game and find the pure strategy NE. b. Airbus is a corporation in the European Community while Boeing is an American corporation. The EC has a long history of subsidizing Airbus as well as other man- ufacturers it deems important. Let us remodel this game assuming that the EC tells Airbus that if Airbus produces the…

Two hunters are on a stag hunt. They split up in the forest and each have two strategies: hunt for a stag (S), or give up the stag hunt and instead hunt for rabbit (R). If they both hunt for a stag, they will succeed and each earn a payoff of 9. If one hunts for stag and the other gives up and hunts for rabbit, the stag hunter receives 0 and the rabbit hunter 8. If both hunt for rabbit then each receives 7. Compute all Nash equilibria for this game, called 'The Stag Hunt', depicted below. Which of these equilibria do you think is most likely to be played? Why? S R S 9,9 8,0 R 0,8 7,7
The world has changed a bit. Microsoft and Google could still either cooperate or compete in the market for social media video software currently captured by Tik Tok, but their payoffs have changed.

Boeing and Airbus are the two primary producers of passenger aircraft. Both firms are preparing to announce their new long-distance jets. Each firm can design their plan to maximize comfort or the number of seats. If both firms choose to maximize the same characteristic they will sell 100 planes each and if they maximize different characteristics they will each sell 150 planes each. Both firms want to maximize sales. Draw a game tree and find the equilibrium strategies and payoffs. Show your work.
Consider the Nash Bargaining game. There are 2 players who have to decide how to split one dollar. The bargaining process works as follows. Players simultaneously announce the share they would like to receive sį and s2, with 0 1, the both players fail to achieve an agreement and receive zero. Find a strictly dominant strategy. Find a pure strategy Nash equilibrium?
Alice and Betsy are playing a game in which each can play either of two strategies, leave or stay. If both play the strategy leave, then each gets a payoff of $400. If both play the strategy stay, then each gets a payoff of $800. If one plays stay and the other plays leave, then the one who plays stay gets a payoff of $C and the one who plays leave gets a payoff of $D. When is the outcome where both play leave a Nash equilibrium? a) never, since 800 > 400 b) when 400 > C and D > 800 but not when 800 > D c) whenever 400 > C d) when D > C and C > 400 e) whenever d < 800
Let's think about a traditional game theory principal agent game. In this game we have two players, Lauren and Jason Lauren will choose to invest $500 dollars with Jason If she doesn't invest the money, she keeps the $500 and Jason gets nothing If she does invest the money, then Jason has a choice-he can cooperate by investing Lauren's money and then splitting the profit of another $500. This would give Lauren $750 (her original $500 investment plus $250 of profit) and would give Jason $250. Jason's other choice is to appropriate, or to steal Lauren's money and not invest it. If he does this, Lauren ends up with nothing and Jason has the entire $500. The following diagram outlines this game. Principal Agent Game Jason (750.250) Invest appropriate 10. 500) doninve What will happen in this game? Lauren will not invest Lauren will invest and Jason will cooperate Lauren will invest and Jason will appropriate Next page
