- Suppose that two players are playing the following game. Player 1 can choose either Top or Bottom, and Player 2 can choose either Left or Right. The payoffs are given in the following table: where the number on the left is the payoff to Player A, and the number on the right is the payoff to Player B. The Nash Equilibrium in pure strategies in this game is Player A O Top/Left O Top/Right Top Bottom Bottom/Left Bottom/Right None of these Left 4 3 Player B 2 0 Right 3 2arrow_forwardImagine two vendors (our players) who must simultaneously choose a location to position their displays. There are n possible locations that form a straight line. Further, there is one customer at each location, and customers will choose the closest vendor (and split their time at each vendor if they're equally distanced from both). The profit for each vendor equals the number of customers they attract. Using iterated elimination of dominated strategies (IEDS), what is the dominant strategy equilibrium? Explain. 2.arrow_forwardImagine that there are two snowboard manufacturers (FatSki and WideBoard) in the market. Each firm can either produce ten or twenty snowboards per day. The table below (see attached) shows the profit per snowboard for each firm that will result given the joint production decisions of these two firms. Draw the game payoff matrix for this situation. Does either player have a dominant strategy? If so, what is it? What is the Nash equilibrium solution and how many boards should each player produce each day? Since FatSki and WideBoard must play this game repeatedly (i.e. make production decisions every day), what strategy would you advise them to play in order to maximize their payoff over the long term?arrow_forward

- Consider the following representation of a hockey shootout. The shooter can shoot on their forehand, or deke to their backhand, and the goalie can anticipate either move. The number in each cell in the table below represents the percentage chance that the shooter scores for each pair of pure strategies. Anticipate Forehand Anticipate Backhand Shoot Forehand 20 40 Deke Backhand 40 10 In the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium of this game, what is the percentage chance that the player scores? (ie. An 80% chance should be recorded as 80)arrow_forwardSuppose we have two ice cream sellers, Blue Cool Ice Cream and Red Mango Ice Cream, deciding where to locate along a 1 kilometer long linear beach. Beachgoers are uniformly spread out everywhere along the beach. They do not like walking, and they view the ice cream from the two sellers as homogenous goods. Because of this, they will always buy from the nearest seller. The sellers cannot choose their price, only the location. A strategy for a player in this game is a distance between 0m and 1000m, which represents where the player will locate. For example, a distance of 0m is a strategy. The payoffs are the percentages of the market that each seller captures (depending on their two strategies). For example, if Blue Cool chooses 0m and Red Mango chooses 1000m, their payoffs are 50% and 50%. If the two sellers locate at exactly the same spot, they share the market and get 50% each. Suppose each player can only choose from 11 locations: 0m, 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m, 500m, 600m, 700m, 800m,…arrow_forwardSuppose we have two ice cream sellers, Blue Cool Ice Cream and Red Mango Ice Cream, deciding where to locate along a 1 kilometer long linear beach.
