Consider a sequential-move game in which an entrant is considering entering an industry in competition with an incumbent firm. If the entrant does not enter ("Out"), the incumbent firm earms a payoff of 10, while the entrant earns a payoff of 0. If the entrant enters ("In"), then the incumbent can either accommodate or fight. If the incumbent accommodates, both eamn a payoff of 5. If the incumbent fights, then the entrant can either leave the industry ("Withdraw") or remain in it ("Stay"). If the entrant stays, both earn a payoff of -5. If the entrant withdraws, the entrant earns a payoff of - 1, and the incumbent earms a payoff of 8. The extensive form of the game is depicted in the following figure, where the payoffs are of the form (Entrant Payoff, Incumbent Payoff). Entrant In Out Incumbent Accommodate Fight O Entrant (5,5) (0,10) Stay Withdraw (-5,-5) (-1,8)
Two competing firms are each planning to introduce a new product. Each will decide whether to produce Product A, Product B, or Product C. They will make their choices at the same time. The resulting payoffs are shown to the right. Are there any Nash equilibria in pure strategies? If so, then what are they? O A. The Nash equilibria are for both firms to introduce Product B and for both firms to introduce Product A. O B. The Nash equilibria are for Firm 1 to introduce Product B and Firm 2 to introduce Product C and for Firm 1 to introduce Product C and Firm 2 to introduce Product B. O C. The Nash equilibria are for Firm 1 to introduce Product A and Firm 2 to introduce Product B and for Firm 1 to introduce Product B and Firm 2 to introduce Product A. O D. The Nash equilibria are for Firm 1 to introduce Product A and Firm 2 to introduce Product C and for Firm 1 to introduce Product C and Firm 2 to introduce Product A. There are no Nash equilibria. O E. If both firms use maximin strategies,…
15. Consider two competing firms, JR and OG. Suppose OG produces an estab- lished product and JR can either produce a clone or a differentiated product. If JR produces a clone, OG can either sue JR or not sue it. If JR produces a differentiated product rather than a clone, OG can either buy JR or not buy it. The two firms are in a non-cooperative game whose extensive form is rep- resented in the tree diagram below, where the payoffs on the right represent profits. -1 for OG 1 for JR sue OG don't -2 for OG clone sue 1 for JR JR don't clone 1 for OG -1 for JR buy OG don't buy 2 for OG 0 for JR If the two firms' managers are rational and recognize each other as rational, then (a) JR clones and OG sues (b) JR does not clone and OG buys (c) JR does not clone and OG does not buy (d) JR clones and OG does not sue (e) JR clones and OG sues with probability .5

O Macmillan Learning McLaren and Red Bull are competing for the Formula One Constructors' Championship and are deciding whether to increase their spending on their aerodynamic (aero) development. The matrix displays the payoffs to the team that result from each possible choice. Note that, due to other factors, the payoffs are not symmetrical. Assume that each team's goal is to earn as many points as possible. a. Does McLaren have a dominant strategy? If so, what is it? O Yes. Their dominant strategy is to leave aero development spending unchanged. O Yes. Their dominant strategy is to increase aero development spending. O No, they do not have a dominant strategy. b. Does Red Bull have a dominant strategy? If so, what is it? O Yes. Their dominant strategy is to increase aero development spending. Yes. Their dominant strategy is to leave aero Red Bull Raise spending Do not change spending McLaren Increase spending Do not change spending McLaren earns 142 points McLaren earns 360 points…
Which of the following accurately describes a player's strictly dominant strategy? O It is a strategy that is better than all the player's other strategies, no matter what the other players do. There is always at least one player who has one in every game.. O It is the strategy a player uses in the Nash equilibrium of a game. Since a Nash equilibrium always exists, players always have a strictly dominant strategy. O It is a strategy that is better than all the player's other strategies, no matter what the other players do. A player may or may not have one. O It is a strategy that is better than all the player's other strategies, no matter what the other players do. Every player has a dominant strategy in every game.. O It is the strategy a player uses in the Nash equilibrium of a game. Since a Nash equilibrium may not exist, players may not always have a strictly dominant strategy.
