6. Two players each pick a positive integer between 1 and 100. If the numbers are identical, noone wins. If the numbers differ by 1, the one with the lower number pays 1 to the opponent. If the difference is at least 2, the one with the higher number pays 2 to the opponent. What is the NE? Hint: Draw a sketch of the game matrix (while you can't consider all 100 strategies, at least consider the lowest 5-6 numbers) and think about dominated strategies.
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.

Explain why the value of a matrix game is positive if all of the payoffs are positive. A. If the matrix game is strictly determined and all of the payoffs are positive, D=(a+d)−(b+c)will be negative and ad−bcwill be negative. Therefore, the value, v, will be positive. If the matrix game is nonstrictly determined, and all of the payoffs are positive, the saddle value will also be positive. Thus, the value, v, is positive. B. If the matrix game is strictly determined and all of the payoffs are positive, the saddle value will be negative. Thus, the value, v, is positive. If the matrix game is nonstrictly determined, D=(a+d)−(b+c) will be positive and ad−bc will be positive. Therefore, the value, v, will be positive. C. If the matrix game is strictly determined and all of the payoffs are positive, D=(a+d)−(b+c) will be positive and ad−bc will be positive. Therefore, the value, v, will be positive. If the matrix game is nonstrictly determined, and all of the…
Paramter y = 0 If ⟨a, d⟩ is played in the first period and ⟨b, e⟩ is played in the second period, whatis the resulting (repeated game) payoff for the row player?
GAME ZZZ B1 Player B A1 30, 30 Player A A2 20, 40 B2 40, 20 35, 35 In the Game ZZZ (see table above), all payoffs are listed with the row player's payoffs first and the column player's payoffs second. In this game, neither player has a dominant strategy. the Nash equilibrium does not maximize the total payoff. there is no Nash equilibrium. the Nash equilibrium maximizes the total payoff.
A principal can choose to make the allocation of tasks broad (B) or narrrow (N). At the same time an agent can choose to work put in high effort (H) or low effort (L). The payoffs are 20 to the principal and 30 to the agent is the actions chosen are B and L. For all other combinations of actions the payoffs are 0 to both players. Which of the following statements are true? DA Nash equilibrium of the game is (B, H) A Nash equilibrium is (N, L) There is no Nash equilibrium in pure strategies in this game. A Nash equilibrium is (N, H) A Nash equilibrium is (B, L)
Problem 2. Consider the partnership-game we discussed in Lecture 3 (pages 81-87 of the textbook). Now change the setup of the game so that player 1 chooses x = [0, 4], and after observing the choice of x, player 2 chooses y ≤ [0, 4]. The payoffs are the same as before. (a) Find all SPNE (subgame perfect Nash equilibria) in pure strategies. (b) Can you find a Nash equilibrium, with player 1 choosing x = 1, that is not subgame perfect? Explain.
Game Theory Consider the entry game with incomplete information studied in class. An incumbent politician's cost of campaigning can be high or low and the entrant does not know this cost (but the incumbent does). In class, we found two pure-strategy Bayesian Nash Equilibria in this game. Assume that the probability that the cost of campaigning is high is a parameter p, 0 < p < 1. Show that when p is large enough, there is only one pure-strategy Bayesian Nash Equilibrium. What is it? What is the intuition? How large does p have to be?

In a sideshow game. A player gets 3 balls to place into a Clown's mouth. Each ball is swallowed by the Clown and is then deposited into slots that can hold only 1 ball. Slots are numbered 1 to 9 and prizes are allocated to a player depending on the slot value of the three balls. If for example the first ball landed in slot 8, the second in slot 2 and the third in slot 1, the resulting prize number would be 821 as shown in Figure 3. 3rd 2nd 1st dol 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Figure 3: A prize number of 821 is shown for a side show game. a) How many resulting prize numbers are possible in this game? b) How many resulting prize numbers are possible that end with the number 1?
Suppose Company A is about to play a game with Company B. The following facts are known about the two players. The first Company (Company A) is a row player and uses three different strategies i.e. (Strategy X, Strategy Y and Strategy Z). Whereas the column player (Company B) has two different strategies i.e. (M and N) that can be used accordingly. The payoff matrix is given in the table below. Player B Player A M N X -5 3 Y 3 -7 Z -6 5 Answer the following questions based on the information given above a. Determine the strategies of each firm using graphical technique b. Compute the value of the game.
Consider the below payoff matrix for a game of chicken. Two players drive their cars down the center of the road directly at each other. Each player chooses SWERVE or STAY. Staying wins you more payoff only if the other player swerves. Swerving loses face if the other player stays. However, the worst outcome is when both players stay. Stay Swerve Stay -0,-0 -6,6 Swerve 6,-6 9,9 Player 1 chooses rows and Player 2 chooses columns. Denote the probability of "Stay" for Player 1 as p and for Player 2 as 9. What is the value of p so that Player 2 is indifferent between Stay and Swerve? Write your answer as a decimal number with 2 decimal places (e.g. 0.05)
