Consider the game in normal form given in the followingtable. Player 1 is the “row” player with strategiesA,BandCandplayer 2 is the “column” player with strategiesL,CandR. The gameis given in the following table:

	L	C	R
A	0,0	2,-2	-2,3
B	-2,2	0,0	2,-1
C	3,1	-1,2	0,1

(a) Find whether there is a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium (M.S.N.E) where player 1 mixes between A and C and player 2 mixes between L,C and R with positive probability.

(b) Find whether there exists a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium where each player mixes between all her strategies with positive probability.

Consider a game in which, simultaneously, player 1 selects any real number x and player 2 selects any real number y. The payoffs are given by: u1 (x, y) = 2x − x2 + 2xy u2 (x, y) = 10y − 2xy − y2. (a) Calculate and graph each player’s best-response function as a function of the opposing player’s pure strategy. (b) Find and report the Nash equilibria of the game. (c) Determine the rationalizable strategy profiles for this game.

Consider a game between a tax collector (player 1) and a tax payer (player 2). Player2 has an income of 200 and may either report his income truthfully or lie. If he reports truthfully, he pays 100 to player 1 and keeps the rest. If player 2 lies and player 1 does not audit, then player 2 keeps all his income. If player 2 lies and player 1 audits then player 2 gives all his income to player 1. The cost to player 1...
