Use the following payoff matrix for a one-shot game to answer the accompanying questions. a. Determine the Nash equilibrium outcomes that arise if the players make decisions independently, simultaneously, and without any communication. Which of these outcomes would you consider most likely? Explain. b. Suppose player 1 is permitted to “communicate” by uttering one syllable before the players simultaneously and independently make their decisions. What should player 1 utter, and what outcome do you think would occur as a result? c. Suppose player 2 can choose its strategy before player 1, that player 1 observes player 2’s choice before making her decision, and that this move structure is known by both players. What outcome would you expect? Explain.
Sam and Sarah are thinking about getting married. However if either of them cheats on the other, they would get a payoff of 10, while the other person gets zero. If neither cheat, they stay with each other and get a payoff of 7 each and if both cheat, the relationship falls apart and each get a payoff of 1. What is the Nash equilibrium of this game? a. Cheat, Cheat b. Not cheat, Not cheat Sam cheats, Sarah doesn't Sarah cheats, Sam doesn't
i. ii. 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.

1. Consider the following N-player game. Each agent has a choice of strategy A or B. The state variable is x, the proportion of agents choosing strategy A. For every agent, the utility of choosing strategy A is U(A) = 10 +2x and the utility of choosing strategy B is U(B) = 10+3x. What is the Nash equilibrium to this game? Explain.
