- Newfoundland’s fishing industry has recently declined sharply due to overfish- ing, even though fishing companies were supposedly bound by a quota agree- ment. If all fishermen had abided by the agreement, yields could have been maintained at high levels. LO4 Model this situation as a prisoner’s dilemma in which the players are Company A and Company B and the strategies are to keep the quota and break the quota. Include appropriate payoffs in the matrix. Explain why overfishing is inevitable in the absence of effective enforcement of the quota agreement. Provide another environmental example of a prisoner’s dilemma. In many potential prisoner’s dilemmas, a way out of the dilemma for a would-be cooperator is to make reliable character judgments about the trustworthiness of potential partners. Explain why this solution is not avail- able in many situations involving degradation of the environment.arrow_forward12 Mk Mc Graw Hill Connect 5.

Consider a three-player bargaining, where the players are negotiating over a surplus of one unit of utility. The game begins with player 1 proposing a three-way split of the surplus. Then player 2 must decide whether to accept the proposal or to substitute for player 1's proposal his own alternative proposal. Finally, player 3 must decide whether to accept or reject current proposal (it is player 1's if player 2 accepts or player 2's if player 2 offer a new one). If he accepts, then the players obtain the specified shares of the surplus. If player 3 rejects, then the players each get 0. (a) Draw the extensive form game of this perfect-information game.

However, the manufacturer does not use any barley in its products, and currently needs 20,000 bushels of wheat. If the current market price of barley is $3.80 per bushel and that of wheat is $15.80 per bushel, should this opportunity be taken, and why? A) Because the company has no need of barley, the opportunity should not be taken. B) Because the opportunity does not meet the company's need for wheat, the opportunity should not be taken. C) Because the value of the opportunity is positive, the opportunity should be taken. D) Because the value of the opportunity is negative, the opportunity should not be taken.arrow_forwardThe figure below shows the market for large bags of potato chips.

Consider the two-player game with the following matrix form representation A B A 0,0 0,0 B 0,0 0,0 where player 1 is the "row player,” player 2 is the "column player," and, for every cell, the left-most number is the utility that player 1 obtains from the corresponding (pure) strategy profile and the right-most number is the utility that player 2 obtains from the corresponding (pure) strategy profile. At the time they choose their strategies, the players are uncertain about 0 and put probability ½ on 0 = 6 and probability ½ on 0 = −8. (a) Find the Nash equilibria of this game. l 1 Now suppose that player 1 can acquire information about the value of 0 before choosing between A and B. In particular, player 1 can purchase an information structure at cost 1 that, conditional on 0 = 6, results in signal h with probability and signal with probability 1, and, conditional on 0 = −8, results in signal h with probability ½ and signal with probability .
