a. Represent the game in normal form (bimatrix).

b. Support with link to news article, pictures, or similar.

		Player A
		Product M	Product L
Player B	Product L	(4,4)	(4,5)
Player B	Product M	(5,4)	(8,8)

In above game there are two countries, A and B which have competitive advantage in products L and M. Country A has competitive advantage in producing commodity L whereas Country B has competitive advantage in producing commodity M.

CASE-1-Now if player A (country A) chooses to produce commodity M and player B(Country B) also decides to produce commodity L. What happens both have to bear extra cost because of lack of expertise in others expertise areas.

CASE-2- Now if player A (country A) chooses to produce commodity L and player B(Country B) also decides to produce commodity L. What happens that because of extra burden of cost, player B could earn 4 units profit and A could earn only 5 units of profits because player B captures certain market share.

.CASE-3- Now if player A (country A) chooses to produce commodity M and player B(Country B) also decides to produce commodity M. What happens that because of extra cost, player A could earn 4 units of profit and, player B could earn only 5 units of profits. This happens because A captures certain market share.

.CASE-4- Now if player A (country A) chooses to produce commodity L and player B(Country B) also decides to produce commodity M. What happens that because of expertise and monopoly status in the market of commodity L, player A earns 8 units of profit. And, player B also earns 8 units of profits for the similar reasons.

In such game there is only one Nash equilibrium.

Provide an example of a 2-player normal form game where each player has 3 (pure) strategies such that: (i) There is exactly one pure strategy Nash equilibrium. (ii) There are exactly two pure strategy Nash equilibria. (iii) There are exactly three pure strategy Nash equilibria. (iv) There are exactly nine pure strategy Nash equilibria

Below is a game between player A and player B. Each player has two possible strategies: 1 or 2. The payoffs for each combination of strategies between A and B are in the bracket. For example, if A plays 1 and B plays 1, the payoff for A is -3, and the payoff for B is -2. Player B Strategy 1 Strategy 2 Player A Strategy 1 (-3,-2) (10,0) Strategy 2 (0,8) (0,0) How many pure strategy Nash equilibria does...

This game is meant for two or more players. In the game, each player starts out with 50 points, as each player takes a turn rolling the dice; the amount generated by the dice is subtracted from the player’s points. The first player with exactly one point remaining wins. If a player’s remaining points minus the amount generated by the dice results in a value less than one, then the amount should be added to the player’s points. (As an...

Two players play a rock-paper-scissors game. The losing player will give $1 to the winning player. If it is a draw, no payment is made. The payoff to a player is the amount of money (s)he gets. Represent the situation in a matrix form. Find all the Nash equilibria.

The game of Pig is a simple two-player dice game in which the first player to reach 100 or more points wins. How to play: Players take turns rolling one six-sided dice and following these rules: If the player rolls 2 through 6, then he/she can either a. “Roll Again” or b. “Hold” At this point, the sum of all rolls is added to the player’s score, and it becomes the other player’s turn. If the player rolls 1 before...

Two players (player A and player B) are playing a game against each other repeatedly until one is bankrupt. When a player wins a game they take $1 from the other player. All plays of the game are independent and identical. Suppose player A starts with $6 and player B starts with $6. If player A wins a game with probability 0.5, what is the probability the game ends (someone loses all their money) on exactly the 10th play of...

Two players (player A and player B) are playing a game against each other repeatedly until one is bankrupt. When a player wins a game they take $1 from the other player. All plays of the game are independent and identical. a) Suppose player A starts with $2 and player B starts with $1. If player A wins a game with probability p, what is the probability that player A wins all the money? b) Suppose player A starts with...
