Consider the following two-player game, in which Player 1 is the IMF, and Player 2 is a debtor country.

	Reform	Waste
Aid	3, 2	-2, 3
No Aid	-2, 1	0, 0

a) Compute all (pure and mixed) Nash equilibria.

b) Do you think that the above game is the case of a resource curse? Interpret the game with a story of a resource curse.

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.

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...

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...
