Player 2 can then choose whether to buy tickets to the movies (Movie), to the basketball game (Game) or not buy tickets (None). This game is shown below. Player 1(row) Player 2 (column) Movie Game None Go (6, 4) (4, 6) (0, 0) Stay (2, - 2) (2, - 4) (3, 3) What is the Maxi-Min strategy for player 1 and for player 2? Explain why. What are the Nash equilibrium or equilibria for this game? Explain why. What kind of game is this? Argue what is the most likely outcome.Q3. Imagine that two partners are trying to divide up $66. Imagine that this game is played only once and that player 1 gets to decide how to divide the $66. Upload a picture of the game tree. You only need to include a minimum of 5 branches.Three players (player 1, player 2 and player 3) each chooses a positive integer QE {1, 2, 3, . 100}. If all three players choose the same integer Q, each player gets $100/3. If all three players choose different integers, the player with the largest integer gets $100, and the two other players get $0. If two players choose the same integer Q, and the third player chooses a different integer Q', then the player playing Q' gets $0, and the two players who played Q get $50 each. Find 2 Nash equilibriums in this game. ....
- Two workers are on a production line. They each have two actions: exert effort, E, or shirk, S. Effort costs a worker e > 0 and shirking costs them nothing. If two workers do action E a lot of output is produced and the workers earn £3 each. If only one worker chooses action E less output is produced and they both earn £1. The workers earn nothing if they both shirk. (i) Describe this situation as a strategic form game (assuming the workers do not observe each other's effort choice when making their own decision). (ii) For what values of e does this game have strictly dominant strategies? (iii) Describe the Nash equilibria of this game for e = 0,1, 2, 3. (iv) The workers now are re-arranged into a production line. First worker 1 moves and then worker 2 moves. Worker 2 can now see worker l's effort level before they choose their effort. Draw this extensive form game. (v) Find the subgame perfect equilibria of the production-line game for c = 1/2 and c = 3/2.Suppose two players, First and Second, take part in a sequential-move game. First moves first, Second moves second, and each player moves only once. (a). Draw a game tree for a game in which First has two possible actions (Up or Down), and Second has three possible actions (Top, Middle, or Bottom) at each node. Show which nodes are terminal/decision and write down all the (pure) strategies of each player. (b). Draw a game tree for a game in which First and Second each have three possible actions (Sit, Stand, or Jump) at each node. Show which nodes are terminal/decision and write down all the (pure) strategies of each player.Two politicians from the same party decide whether to support or oppose the gov- ernment's environmental policy. Politician A prefers that they both support, but Politician B prefers that they both oppose. Both politicians agree that the party should have a coherent position and the worst outcome is that one supports and the other opposes the policy. (a) Formulate this situation as a strategic game - specify the players, actions, and payoffs (you can set-up a table of the actions and payoffs). (b) What are the Nash equilibria of this game? Explain your answer.
- In a gambling game, Player A and Player B both have a $1 and a $5 bill. Each player selects one of the bills without the other player knowing the bill selected. Simultaneously they both reveal the bills selected. If the bills do not match, Player A wins Player B's bill. If the bills match, Player B wins Player A's bill. Develop the game theory table for this game. The values should be expressed as the gains (or losses) for Player A. Is there a pure strategy? Why or why not? Determine the optimal strategies and the value of this game. Does the game favor one player over the other? Suppose Player B decides to deviate from the optimal strategy and begins playing each bill 50% of the time. What should Player A do to improve Player A’s winnings? Comment on why it is important to follow an optimal game theory strategy.In a gambling game, Player A and Player B both have a $1 and a $5 bill. Each player selects one of the bills without the other player knowing the bill selected. Simultaneously they both reveal the bills selected. If the bills do not match, Player A wins Player B's bill. If the bills match, Player B wins Player A's bill. Develop the game theory table for this game. The values should be expressed as the gains (or losses) for Player A.Game Theory Question A non-profit firm is on a local community online donation platform for a community event it wants to hold (only community members can donate via the website). The event will be held only if the non-profit firm collects $20,000 total from members of the community. Each member values the event at $500. Suppose that there are 100 community members. Community members can only donate by purchasing a lottery ticket from the firm. Each ticket costs $200 and only one ticket can be purchased per member. The proceeds will be collected by the firm. The lottery winner gets a premier meal at a local restaurant that's worth $100. Remember, the firm keeps all the donated money. If the amount of donations is less than $20,000, then the firm returns the donated money to the community members (since there'll be no event held but the lottery winner still gets to eat that fancy meal). If the donations sum up to $20,000, the community event will take place. What are the Nash…
- A and B are a couple and they want to go into a concert. A comes from Bonn and loves the music of Ludwig van Beethoven. B comes from Salzburg and loves the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. There are two concerts in town: one with the music of Beethoven and one with the music of Mozart. Both (A and B) prefer to go to a concert together. If both go to a concert of Beethoven, A has a pay-off of 4 and B has a pay-off of 2. If both go to a concert of Mozart, B has a pay-off of 4 and A has a pay-off of 2. If A goes to a concert of Mozart and B to a concert of Beethoven, they are both miserable and get a pay-off of 0. But, if B goes to a concert of Mozart and A to a concert of Beethoven, they are both a little better off with a pay-off of 1. Both A and B have to make a simultaneous decision and cannot communicate prior to the decision. (a) Construct the pay-off matrix for this game. (b) Identify the Nash equilibrium or equilibria of the game. (c) Which off the allocations are…$11. Anne and Bruce would like to rent a movie, but they can't decide what kind of movie to get: Anne wants to rent a comedy, and Bruce wants to watch a drama. They decide to choose randomly by playing "Evens or Odds." On the count of three, each of them shows one or two fingers. If the sum is even, Anne wins and they rent the comedy; if the sum is odd, Bruce wins and they rent the drama. Each of them earns a payoff of 1 for winning and 0 for losing "Evens or Odds." (a) Draw the game table for "Evens or Odds." (b) Demonstrate that this game has no Nash equilibrium in pure strategies.An incumbent can commit to producing a large quantity of output before the potential rival decides whether to enter. The incumbent chooses whether to commit to produce a small quantity or a large quantity. The rival then decides whether to enter. Enter The payoffs are represented in the game treeillustrated in the figure to the right. What is the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium? (1,800,500) Rival Small O A. The Nash equilibrium is for the incumbent to produce the large quantity and for the rival to not enter regardless of the incumbent's quantity. (3,600,0) Don't enter O B. The Nash equilibrium is for the incumbent to produce the large quantity and for Incumbent the rival to enter regardless of the incumbent's quantity. OC. The game does not have a Nash equilibrium.
