Solve for the Nash equilibrium (or equilibria) in each of the following games. (a) The following two-by-two game is a little harder to solve since firm 2’spreferred strategy depends of what firm 1 does. But firm 1 has a dominantstrategy so this game has one Nash equilibrium. Firm 2 Launch Don’tFirm 1 Launch 60, -10 100, 0 Don’t 80, 30 120, 0 What is the Nash equilibrium of this simultaneous-move game? (b) What would the outcome of this game be if instead firm 1 moved first and then, after seeing what firm 1 chose, firm 2 chose it strategy? In this case firm 1 doesn’t necessarily need to choose a best response, but firm 2 must choose a best response since it moves second.

The following payoff matrix depicts the profits for the only two firms in this oligopolistic industry. In each cell, the 1st number is Firm A’s profit and the 2ndnumber is Firm B’s Profit. (Scenario: Payoff Matrix for Firms A and B) In the scenario Payoff Matrix for Firms A and B. If they play the game for 10 times, what will be firm A's pay off if both A and B will choose "always choosing High price strategy", i.e the firm will always choose High price each time? 60 Need more information to tell. 100 6
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)

Barnes and Nobel and Amazon are the two largest online book retailers in the U.S.. The two companies compete in the online market for‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’, a famous book by the English author J. K. Rawling. Both companies can buy copies of the bookfrom Scholastic at $8 per copy and have an additional average cost $1 per copy.Use game theoretical concepts to explain why, even if the two companies have significant market power, on most days they both sell the bookat $9 per copy.

1) Put together an example of a 2x2 game (two players with each having two options) that has NO pure-strategyNash equilibria. (Hint: just try some values and then change them as you need to; as an example think aboutthe Rock, Scissors paper which has no pure strategy NE).2) Using your own words, explain how the concept of elimination of dominated strategies differs from theconcept of Nash equilibrium.3) Indicate whether the following statement is TRUE or FALSE and explain your answer: If one player is theleader in a game it means that s/he has the first move in the game. The key thing is that this move can beobserved by the follower before making his/her own decision, otherwise it would be a simultaneous movegame that cannot be solved by backwards induction.4) MULTIPLE CHOICE (identify the one best answer below and explain your reasoning for each option): Recallthe Game of chicken from the previous problem set.
