Then, answer the following questions of [D5] and [M5]-|M8]: P1 G P2 P1 G -(0, 2) D (2, 0) (1, 1) (4, 0) Suppose that P2 chooses G or D randomly. Then, what is the Pl's best response of P1 for the P2's choice? And explain why. We assume that random choice is level-0 in the level-k theory. Then, answer the P2's choice in level-2.

In your explanation to the questions below, please do refer to the figures in the matrix. Suppose player 2 could move before player 1 (i.e. has a first mover advantage). In your explanation to the questions below, please do refer to the figures in the matrix. What strategy would (s)he select? Is it really an ‘advantage’ for player 2 to move first? Or does player 2 benefit from being the second mover (and hence player 1 moving first)? I.e. for this question, do not make a comparison to the outcome of the…Consider the following game. There are two payers, Player 1 and Player 2. Player 1 chooses a row (10, 20, or 30), and Player 2 chooses a column (10/20/30). Payoffs are in the cells of the table, with those on the left going to Player 1 and those on the right going to player 2. Suppose that Player 1 chooses his strategy (10, 20 or 30), first, and subsequently, and after observing Player 1’s choice, Player 2 chooses his own strategy (of 10, 20 or 30). Which of the following statements is true regarding this modified game? I. It is a simultaneous move game, because the timing of moves is irrelevant in classifying games.II. It is a sequential move game, because Player 2 observes Player 1’s choice before he chooses his own strategy.III. This modification gives Player 1 a ‘first mover advantage’.

- Consider the following two-player game.First, player 1 selects a number x≥0. Player 2 observes x. Then, simultaneously andindependently, player 1 selects a number y1 and player 2 selects a number y2, at which pointthe game ends.Player 1’s payoff is: u1(x; y1) = −3y21 + 6y1y2 −13x2 + 8xPlayer 2’s payoff is: u2(y2) = 6y1y2 −6y22 + 12xy2Draw the game tree of this game and identify its Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium.1. Contract Enforcement Between Buyer and Seller in a Supply Chain. Suppose that two firms, 1 and 2, must undergo a certain amount of investment so as to coordinate their efforts in order to enable the supplier to produce a good to be used as an input in the buyer's production process. Such investment may involve the costs incurred by both parties in the initial planning and design phase of the relationship and/or involve the firms in having to incur the associated costs of purchasing specialized equipment and developing certain production processes in order to satisfy the needs and specific requirements of both parties. In any case, suppose that the technology of the relationship and the structure of the underlying game are given by the following normal form representation of the game: Firm 1 Invest (I) Not Invest (N) Firm 2 Invest (I) Z₁, Z₂ (41, 35) X1, Y2 (92,-42) Not Invest (N) Y1, X2 (-32, 21) (0, 0) Further suppose that the players contract in a setting of court-imposed breach…Consider a sequential game where there are two players, Jake and Sydney. Jake really likes Sydney and is hoping to run in to her at a party this weekend. Sydney can't stand Jake.

The payoff matrix is as follows: Sydney Party 1 Party 2 Party 1 6, 18 18, 6 Jake Party 2 24,8 0,24 a) Does this game have a pure strategy Nash Equilibrium? b) What is the mixed strategy Nash Equilibrium? c) Now suppose Sydney decides what party she is going to first.

- Consider a game in which two players simultaneously pick an integer from 1 through 10. Let s1 denote choice of player 1, and let S2 denote the choice of player 2. If s1 7 82 then player 1's payoff is: Si + 82 2 and player 2's payoff is 10 – ,*. Si + 82 2 If s1 = 82 then each player gets 5. How many pure strategy Nash equilibria does the game have (you will get full points if you are within 2 of the correct answer)? Numerical answer2. Consider the following 2 → 2 normal form games: In both games Player 1 (the row player) chooses either strategy A or strategy B. Player 2 (the column player) chooses simultaneously strategy A or B. The outcomes are defined by the following matrices. The first number in each cell indicates the payoff of Player 1, the second number (after the comma) indicates the payoff of Player 2.

(Round to two decimals if necessary.)Consider the Stackelberg game depicted below in which you are the row player. R U 4,0 1,2 3,2 0,1 0,0 2,0 You may choose whether you want to be the leader (and commit to a possibly mixed strategy) or the follower in a game against the course staff (column player). You may trust that we maximize our expected payoff. The points awarded to you will equal one half of the expected payoff you obtain. If you want to be the leader, please submit your commitment strategy. For example, if you want to commit to [0.5: U, 0.2: M, 0.3: D], then submit: 0.5 0.2 0.3 If you want to be the follower instead, just submit: FUsing the payoff matrix, suppose this game is infinitely repeated and that the interest rate is sufficiently “low.” Identify trigger strategies that permit players 1 and 2 to earn equilibrium payoffs of 140 and 180, respectively, in each period
