Your little twin sisters (whom you lovingly refer to as Thing 1 and Thing 2) are driving you crazy! You’ve baked them a lovely birthday cake, but they won’t stop fighting over who gets the biggest slice. To settle the dispute, you draw on a time-honoured ritual: You ask Thing 1 to cut the cake, and Thing 2 to choose which piece she wants.
Use backward induction to find the equilibrium outcome for this game. Is the equilibrium consistent with your experience?

However, the bother of actually voting costs each one unit of utility. Diagram a game in which they choose whether to vote or not to vote.

- Consider the following game - one card is dealt to player 1 ( the sender) from a standard deck of playing cards. The card may either be red (heart or diamond) or black (spades or clubs). Player 1 observes her card, but player 2 (the receiver) does not - Player 1 decides to Play (P) or Not Play (N). If player 1 chooses not to play, then the game ends and the player receives -1 and player 2 receives 1. - If player 1 chooses to play, then player 2 observes this decision (but not the card) and chooses to Continue (C) or Quit (Q). If player 2 chooses Q, player 1 earns a payoff of 1 and player 2 a payoff of -1 regardless of player 1's card - If player 2 chooses continue, player 1 reveals her card. If the card is red, player 1 receives a payoff of 3 and player 2 a payoff of -3. If the card is black, player 1 receives a payoff of 2 and player 2 a payoff of -1 a. Draw the extensive form game b.

Both countries wish to preserve the cod industry (and hence the cod stocks), so the two countries sign an agreement to limit fish hauls. Each country has two possible strategies: comply with the agreement (limit fishing) or renege on the agreement (overfish). Each country’s payoffs for different strategy combinations are given in the matrix below. The numbers in the cells represent utilities, and the payoff ordering is (US, Canada). QUESTIONS: 1.If this is a one-shot game (i.e., it is played once), do the players have a dominant strategy? If so, what is it? Briefly explain your answer. 2.What is the equilibrium of this game? Is it Pareto-optimal? How do you know?arrow_forward
- Consider a simultaneous move game with two players. Player 1 has three possible actions (A, B, or C) and Player 2 has two possible actions (D or E.) In the payoff matrix below, each cell contains the payoff for Player 1 followed by the payoff for Player 2. Identify any dominated strategies in this game. If there are none, state this clearly.arrow_forwardHello, please help me to solve this Game Theory question. Thanks in advance! Hobby hunter Jack decides what to do the next weekend. He can either stay at home and watch movies (Movies), or call his friend Katherine to go hunting (Hunt). If he stays in, both Jack and Katherine get a payoff of 2. If he decides to hunt, he knows the situation with his friend will resemble a classic stag hunt game with simultaneous moves: Hunting a stag is better than hunting a rabbit, but it only works if they cooperate. The hunting subgame is captured as: Katherine Stag Rabbit Jack Stag 3 , 3 0 , 1 Rabbit 1 , 0 1 , 1 Draw the entire game as an extensive form (game tree), capturing both Jack’s initial decision (M or H) and the subsequent hunting game. Make sure to correctly label all players, actions, and information sets.arrow_forwardSuppose a $1 bill is to be divided between two players according to a simultaneous-move, one-shot bargaining game. Is there a Nash equilibrium to the bargaining game if the smallest unit in which the money can be divided is $0.01? Assume that if the players ask for more in total than is available, they go home empty-handed.arrow_forward
- You suspect that you are a price leader in the market. Moreover, you are considering expanding your operations. H.R. Shovenstuff will observe your moves and then follow, but he is more secretive so you will not know whether to price high or low after his pricing decision has been made. Using the following game tree, solve for the Nash equilibrium. High Price Shovenstuff High Price Low Price You High Price (2,1) (6,2) Invest Low Price Invest, High Price, High Price O Invest, Low Price, High Price Invest, Low Price, Low Price O Don't Invest, High Price, High Price Don't Invest, Low Price, High Price LOW Price (2,4) You High Price (4,4) Don't Invest High Price Low Price Shovenstuff Low Price You High Price (8,1) (2.6) Low Price (2,1)arrow_forwardConsider the following 3-player static game with row player Batman (his choices are a and b), column player Catwoman (her choices are c and d), and matrix player Joker (his choices are left, middle and right). In the payoff triples the first entry is Batman's payoff, the second entry is Catwoman's payoff, and the third entry is Joker's payoff. left middle right d d d a 1,1,5 1,0,1 a 1,1,3 1,0,0 a 1,1,0 1,0,0 0,0,0 0,1,0 0,0,0 0,1,3 b 0,0,0 0,1,5 (a) Give a belief for Joker about his opponents' choice combinations that supports his choice of middle (i.e. such that middle is optimal for him). (b) Solve the game with iterated strict dominance. (c) Construct an epistemic model such that, for every choice found in (b) there exists a type such that: • the choice is optimal for the type, • and the type expresses common belief in rationality.arrow_forward
