Question 1
Consider the following game. Player 1 has 3 actions (Top, middle,Bottom) and player 2 has three actions (Left, Middle, Right). Each player chooses their action simultaneously. The game is played only once. The first element of the payoff vector is player 1’s payoff. Note that one of the payoffs to player 2 has been omitted (denoted by x).
1. Determine the range of values for x such that Player 2 has a strictly dominant strategy.
In the following 3-player game, the payoffs represent the number of years in jail. The equilibrium is ________

Consider the following scenarios in the Ultimatum game, viewed from the perspective of the Recipient. Assume that the Recipient is motivated by negative reciprocity and will gain $15 of
value from rejecting an offer that is strictly less than 50 percent of the total amount to be divided between the two players by the Proposer. Assume that the Proposer can only make offers
in increments of $1.
If the pot is $30, what is the minimum offer that the Responder will accept? What percent of the pie is this amount?
The minimum offer that will be accepted is S. which represents percent of the pie.
If the pot is $100, what is the minimum offer that the Responder will accept? What percent of the pie is this amount?
The minimum offer that will be accepted is S, which represents percent of the pie. (Round answers to 2 decimal places as needed)

The recipient does not have an opportunity to reject the proposed distribution. As such, if the dictator only cares about how much money she makes, she should keep all $10 for herself and give the recipient nothing. However, when economists conduct experiments with the dictator game, they find that dictators often offer strictly positive amounts to the recipients. Are dictators behaving irrationally in these experiments? Whether you think they are or not, your response should try to provide an explanation for the behavior.arrow_forwardConsider a game between 2 payers (Ann and Bill) where each chooses between 3 actions (Up, Middle and Down). 1) Create a payoff matrix that reflects this. 2) Fill in payoff numbers that makes this game a Prisoner's Dilemma. 3) Explain why your game is a Prisoner's Dilemma.arrow_forward
- Some collector has a painting that he no longer values. However, there are two buyers that would be happy to acquire it. Buyer 1 assigns a value of $900 to the painting, and buyer 2 of $1,000. Explain that this situation can be represented as a cooperative game with transferable utility. Obtain the set of players and write down the characteristic function (supposing that the grand coalition’s value is $1000). Find the Core and the Shapley value of the game.arrow_forwardQuestion 1 Consider the following game. Player 1 has 3 actions (Top, middle,Bottom) and player 2 has three actions (Left, Middle, Right). Each player chooses their action simultaneously. The game is played only once. The first element of the payoff vector is player 1’s payoff. Note that one of the payoffs to player 2 has been omitted (denoted by x). A) Suppose that the value of x is such that player 2 has a strictly dominant strategy. Find the solution to the game.

How might we best explain this? A) Participants are altruistic, and so value the payoff which other participants receive, benefiting (indirectly) from making a contribution. B) Participants believe that if they make a contribution, then other participants will be more likely to make a contribution. C) Participants in experiments believe that they have to make contributions in order to receive any payoff from their participation. D) Participants have experience of working in situations in which cooperation can be sustained for mutual benefit and so have internalised a social norm of cooperationarrow_forward

Player A is thinking to choose Up 50 percent of the time, and Down 50 percent of the time. This type of strategy is called a ____ ? 2) Consider a payoff matrix of a game shown below. In each cell, the number on the left is a payoff for Player A and the number on the right is a payoff for Player B. In order for (Down, Right) to be a unique pure strategy Nash equilibrium, a must be (greater, or smaller) than 3 and b must be (greater, or smaller) than 3. refer to imagearrow_forwardConsider a normal form game in which player 1 has two strategies, A1,B1 and player 2 has two strategies, A2,B2.
