Provide an example of a strictly competitive game that is not a zero-sum game.

Expert Solution

Example -

In the below example there is a couple who wants to go on a night out. The boy wants to go to the club and the girl wants to go for movie . Both prefer to go together rather than going alone. While the boy prefers to go to the club, he would prefer to go with his girl to the movie theatre rather than go to the club alone. Similarly, the girl would prefer to go to the movie, but she too would rather go to the club with her guy than go to the movie alone. Below matrix shows the game :

BOY

CLUB

MOVIE

GIRL	CLUB	2,3	1,1
GIRL	MOVIE	1,1	3,2

The girl's payoff matrix is represented by the first element of the ordered pair while the girl's payoff matrix is represented by the second of the ordered pair.

The above matrix shows that the situation represents a non-zero-sum, non-strictly competitive conflict as the common interest between the couple is that no single person from these two would prefer to go alone to club or movie , they would like to be together .However, the opposing interests is that thegirlprefers to go to the movie while her guyprefers to go to the club.

Please let me know if you need further info or addition to this answer i will edit it as per your requirement , leave a upvote please , it means a lot :)

Determine whether the two-person, zero-sum matrix game is strictly determined. 7 2 −3 −2 2 1 Yes, it is strictly determined.No, it is not strictly determined. If the game is strictly determined, answer the following. (If the game is not strictly determined, enter DNE for each.) (a) Find the saddle point of the game. (b) Find the optimal strategy for each player. The optimal strategy for the row player is to play row . The optimal strategy for the column player...

Consider a following zero-sum game of two players a) Reduce the initial game to a 2x2 game. Eliminate only strictly dominated strategies. In the obtained 2x2 game name Player 1’s (Row player’s) strategies “Up” and “Down” and Player 2’s (Column player’s) strategies “Left” and “Right”. b) Find all Nash equilibria of the 2x2 game (both in pure and mixed strategies) ALL ANSWERS MUST BE EXPLAINED. 2 0 1 -1 1 0 1 2 3 1 2 0

Promoting international trade is not a zero-sum game. It is a win-win proposition; both parties gain from trade. Consider the following: Tariffs are paid by the citizens of the country imposing tariffs, not by the citizens of the country producing the products upon which the tariffs are levied. The term “trade deficits” is a misnomer. Every country’s trade is always in balance. Trade deficits do not mean the US no longer produces anything to export. The US is the world’s...
