Question
The prisoners’ dilemma is a two-person game
illustrating that
a. the cooperative outcome could be worse for both
people than the Nash equilibrium.
b. even if the cooperative outcome is better than
the Nash equilibrium for one person, it might be
worse for the other.
c. even if cooperation is better than the Nash
equilibrium, each person might have an incentive
not to cooperate.
d. rational, self-interested individuals will naturally
avoid the Nash equilibrium because it is worse
for both of them.

- Consider a modified Traveler’s Dilemma. In terms of strategy options that the players have and the dollars they earn, it is like the standard Traveler’s Dilemma, but the players do not have endless appetite for money. Up to 100 dollars, each dollar feels like a dollar. But any moneybeyond 100 is psychologically like 100 dollars. Assuming that players are maximizers of ‘psychological’ dollars instead of real dollars, describe all the Nash equilibria of this modified Traveler’s Dilemma.arrow_forwardPlease help me with 3b and explain it in detailsarrow_forward7.arrow_forward
