1-If a static game where both players have dominant strategies was to be played sequentially,

	A.	the outcome of the dynamically played game would be the same with the outcome of the simultaneously played game.
	B.	the Nash equilibrium of the game will not be sub-game perfect.
	C.	the dominant strategies will no longer exist.
	D.	the outcome of the dynamically played game would be different than the outcome of the simultaneously played game.

2- A sub-game perfect Nash equilibrium is an equilibrium concept that:

	A.	eliminates equilibria based on non-credible threats
	B.	cannot be solved by backward induction
	C.	applies to static games
	D.	all of the above

Expert Solution

1. Ans is A. When the players have dominant strategy then it doenot matter whatever the type of game. Thus same outcome and same strategy will be played irrespective of sequential and simultaneously move game.

2.ans is A. Subgame perfect mash equilibrium is an equilibrium concept that non credible threats cant work here and will eliminate non credible threat. However it can be solved by backward induction.

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.

Coin taking game This game is played between 2 players, player 1 and player 2. There are two piles of coins. The values of a coin can be any integer. Both players know the values of all coins in both piles. Player 1 makes the first move, and play alternates between the players. A move consists of taking a coin from the top of either of the piles (either player can take from either pile). The game ends when both...

a) Explain what is meant by the “Prisoner’s Dilemma” game. Do players have a dominant strategy in this game? b) Create an example of a pay-off matrix for such a game c) Will the Nash equilibrium of this game result in the socially optimal outcome? Explain why/why not.

5. Consider the following games played between two players, A and B. Game 1: A and B have reached a verbal agreement: A would deliver a case of beer to B, and B would deliver a bag of beer nuts to A. Now, each player needs to take an action: keep the promise (to deliver the goods), break the promise. If both keep their promises, then each player gets a payoff of 5; if both break their promises, then each...

Describe what it means to say a strategic game played with 2 players is in a Nash equilibrium. Then, describe the standard trust game, and identify the Nash equilibrium. Explain why this equilibrium is a Nash Equilibrium. Finally, explain why people actually playing this game might not play as the Nash Equilibrium predicts.

3.The “Guess-the Mean Game” is played as follows: Each of the N players writes on a piece of paper an integer between 1 and 10 without showing it to any other players. The players then reveal the numbers they have written down. The winner is that person whose number comes the closest to equaling half the average of the number submitted by the other players. For example, if there are four players and they write down the numbers 1, 3,...

3.50 Passedix is a game of chance played with three fair dice. Players bet whether the sum of the faces shown on the dice will be above or below ten. During the late sixteenth century, the astronomer and mathematician Galileo Galilei was asked by the Grand Duke of Tuscany to explain why “the chance of throwing a 9 with three fair dice was less than that of throwing a 10.” (Interstat, Jan. 2004) The grand duke believed that the chance...
