What are the lessons to be learnt from SPE(subgame perfect
equilibrium) or why is there a SPE(subgame perfect equilibrium)
discuss and compare your answers with the lessons from Centipede
game. Please explain briefly.
A challenger (Firm 2) is considering entry into the local phone
market in the Bay Area. The incumbent (Firm 1), predicts that a
price war will result if Firm 2 enters. If Firm 2 stays out, Firm 1
earns monopoly profits valued at $10 million (net present value, or
NPV of profits), while Firm 2 earns zero. If Firm 2 enters, it must
incur irreversible entry costs of $2 million. If there is a price
war, each firm earns $1...
Derive the unique subgame perfect Nash equilibrium payoffs for
two players who have different discount factors (take the discount
factor of player 1 as 0.6 and the discount factor of player 2 as
0.8) in a five‐period alternating offers bargaining game. Assume
that player 1 is the first mover.
(i) What happens to these payoffs if you keep players' discount
factors constant but make player 2, the first mover? Explain.
(ii) What happens to these payoffs if you keep discount...
From the Economics chapter, we learnt that Nash Equilibrium is a
situation where, given the strategies that everyone else is
playing, no player can be better off by changing his strategy.
Do you think it is possible to achieve Nash Equilibrium
in real life? (Other than the example of Prisoner's
Dilemma.)
If yes, what kind of situations would these be
in?
If no, what are the factors in that situation would
prevent it from happening?
No two situations are the...

Subgame-perfect Nash Equilibria
Consider the situation where the journalist J can either write a

the politician Z has managed to implement a
so-called media tribunal according to which he can decide to punish
or not to punish J whenever J writes harshly about him. J would
really love to write harshly about Z as long as he can get away
without any punishment. However, J would rather write...
