How does the Prisoner's Dilemma relate to oligopolies?
How does game theory (and the likely actions by the "players")
change if the game is only played once as opposed to it being an
on-going game?
A prisoner's dilemma is
a game that involves no dominant strategies.
a game in which players should work together towards the Nash
Equilibrium.
a game where if players act in rational and self-interested ways
everyone will be worse off than a cooperative outcome.
a game in which players collude to outfox authorities.
In the prisoner's dilemma game (watch the video on the
youtube, there are plenty of versions of this video available on
the Internet), why prisoner's chose to settle for their second best
option (they could do better that what most likely would occur).
Please explain.
In which scenario is cooperation more likely in the prisoner's
dilemma:
a) a "one shot" game
b) a game repeated 1,000 times
c) an infinitely repeated game
d) a repeated game that ends with a specified probability after
each time the game is player
Give a real-life situation in which you have noticed a
"prisoner's dilemma game". It could be at work, home, the
classroom, local business, etc. Briefly write what the situation
is, listing the three elements of the game, and what the outcome
is.
Using the Topic Material "Game Theory," discuss your perspective
on the use of game theory. How do "Nash equilibrium" and the idea
of one "player" impacting another "player" within an organization
affect the economic decisions and growth of an organization?
A. Explain the Prisoner's Dilemma.
B. According to Robert Axelrod, how does cooperation emerge in a
population of agents playing an iterated prisoners dilemma
game?
Create a prisoner's dilema table. Then use a prisoner’s dilemma
to show how hoarding behavior can arise as an equilibrium when an
emergency is expected. Explain why you chose the payoffs the way
you did.
