QUESTION ONE A. A Nash equilibrium is a strategy profile such that every player's strategy is the best response to all the other players. It requires that each player makes a best response and that expectations regarding the play of other players are correct. Below is the table showing strategies and payoff for Player 1 and Player 2. PLAYER 1 R1 R2 R3 R4 C1 0,7 5,2 7,0 6,6 C2 2,5 3,3 2,5 2,2 PLAYER 2 C3 7,0 5,2 0,7 4,4 CA 6,6 2,2 4,4 10,4 REQUIRED; Transform the normal form game above into an imperfect extensive game form Find the Nash equilibrium for the game above using iterative deletion of strictly dominated strategies. Find the Nash equilibrium using brute force or cell by cell inspection.

If they choose the exact same glass of wine, then they each earn $1,000. Otherwise, they earn nothing. Draw the payoff matrix. What is this game's Nash equilibrium (or equilibria)? What is this game's focal point? Explain. (20%) 5. Rational ignorance poses a serious problem for democracy, but can be partially resolved by implementing Skin in the Game policies.
