In an extensive form game, player A moves first, by choosing Invest or Not Invest. Player B moves next by selecting Disclose or Not Disclose. If A chooses Invest and B. chooses Disclose, A gets 10 and B gets 6. If A chooses Invest and B selects Not Disclose, then A gets 12 and B gets X. If A chooses Not Invest, then A gets 5 and B. gets 8 when B chooses Disclose, but if B chooses Not Disclose, then A gets Y and B gets 15. In the SPNE, A receives payoff 10 and B gets 6. This implies that X is and that Y is. 8:8 8; 12 4;8 4:12

David wants to auction a painting, and there are two potential buyers. The value for eachbuyer is either 0 or 10, each value equally likely. Suppose he offers to sell the object for $6, and the two buyers simultaneously accept or reject. If exactly one buyer accepts, the object sold to that person for $6. If both accept, the object is allocated randomly to the buyers, also for $6. If neither accepts, the object is allocated randomly to the bidders for $0. (a) Identify the type space and strategy space for each buyer. (b) Show that there is an equilibrium in which buyers with value 10 always accept. (c) Show that there is an equilibrium in which buyers with value 10 always reject.
Professor can give a TA scholarship for a maximum of 2 years. At the beginning of each year professor Hahn decides whether he will give a scholarship to Gong Yi or not. Gong Yi can get a scholarship in t=2, only if he gets it in t=1. Basically, the professor and TA will play the following game twice. TA can be a Hardworking type with probably 0.3 and can be a Lazy type with a probability of 0.7. Professor does not know TA's type. If TA is hard working, it will be X=5 and TA will always work if he gets a scholarship. If TA is lazy, it will be X= 1. There is no time discount for t=2. Find out a Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium of the game.
Pl and P2 play a simultaneous move game with payoffs given below. Suppose now that both players have private information. P1 knows the value of 01, but P2 does not. P2 knows the value of 02, but P1 does not. Р2 A В A 01,–1 1,0 P1 В 1,0 0, 02 Suppose 01 is equal to either 0 or –1, each with probability 1 Suppose 02 is equal to either –l or 1, each with probability 1/2. All of the above is common knowledge. Again, notice that even though 0; is random from Pj's perspective, Pi knows what O; is. Consider pure equilibria of the game. (By pure equilibrium, I mean that no type of any player mixes in the equilibrium, but this doesn't mean that each type of a player has to do the same thing.) How many pure equilibria does this game have? Numerical answer
Consider the game of Chicken in which each player has the option to “get out of the way” and “hang tough” with payoffs: Get out of the way Hang tough Get out of the way 2,2 1,3 Hang tough 3,1 00 a. Find all pure strategy Nash equilibria, if they exist b. Let k be the probability that player 1 chooses “hang tough” and u be the probability that player two chooses “hang tough.” Find the mixed stragety Nash equilibria, if they exist
Game Theory Consider the entry game with incomplete information studied in class. An incumbent politician's cost of campaigning can be high or low and the entrant does not know this cost (but the incumbent does). In class, we found two pure-strategy Bayesian Nash Equilibria in this game. Assume that the probability that the cost of campaigning is high is a parameter p, 0 < p < 1. Show that when p is large enough, there is only one pure-strategy Bayesian Nash Equilibrium. What is it? What is the intuition? How large does p have to be?

Phil, Stu, and Doug are deciding which fraternity to pledge. They all assign a payoff of 5 to pledging Phi Gamma and a payoff of 4 to Delta Chi. The payoff from not pledging either house is 1. Phi Gamma and Delta Chi each have two slots. If all three of them happen to choose the same house, then the house will randomly choose which two are admitted. In that case, each has probability 2/3 of getting in and probability 1/3 of not pledging any house. If they do not all choose the same house, then all are admitted to the house they chose. Find a symmetric Nash equilibrium in mixed strategies.
$11. Anne and Bruce would like to rent a movie, but they can't decide what kind of movie to get: Anne wants to rent a comedy, and Bruce wants to watch a drama. They decide to choose randomly by playing "Evens or Odds." On the count of three, each of them shows one or two fingers. If the sum is even, Anne wins and they rent the comedy; if the sum is odd, Bruce wins and they rent the drama. Each of them earns a payoff of 1 for winning and 0 for losing "Evens or Odds." (a) Draw the game table for "Evens or Odds." (b) Demonstrate that this game has no Nash equilibrium in pure strategies.
Person A can trust or not trust person B. If person A decides to not trust, both players get a zero payoff. If Person A trusts, Person B can abuse or honour the trust bestowed upon them. If person B abuses Person A's trust, Person A gets a negative payoff. If person B honours person A's trust, person A gets a positive payoff. Person B can be of two types: trustworthy or not trustworthy. Both trustworthy and untrustworthy person B types get a positive payoff if they honour A's trust. But a trustworthy person B prefers to honour person A's trust whereas an untrustworthy B prefers to abuse. 2 Nature determines randomly if person B is trustworthy or not. Person B knows if they are trustworthy or not but person A doesn't know. The probability that person B is not trustworthy is a and the probability that person B is trustworthy is 1 a. a is common knowledge, meaning that both person A and person B know the probability of person B being (not) trustworthy. a) Draw the extensive game version…
4. You have probably had the experience of trying to avoid encountering someone, whom we will call Rocky. In this instance, Rocky is trying to find you. It is Saturday night and you are choosing which of two possible parties to attend. You like Party 1 better and, if Rocky goes to the other party, you get a payoff 20 at Party 1. If Rocky attends Party 1, however, you are going to be uncomfortable and get a payoff of 5. Similarly, Party 2 gives you a payoff of 15, unless Rocky attends, in which case the payoff is 0. Rocky likes Party 2 better, but he is likes you. He values Party 2 at 10, Party 1 at 5, and your presence at either party that he attends is worth an additional payoff of 10. You and Rocky both know each others strategy space (which party to attend) and payoffs functions.
You and I play the following game. Hidden from you, I put a coin in my hand: with probability p it is a 10 pence coin and otherwise it is a 20 pence coin. You now guess which coin is in my hand: you guess it is 20 pence with probability s and otherwise you guess it is a 10 pence coin. You get to win the coin if you guess correctly and otherwise win nothing. What (in terms of p and s) is your expected gain in pence from playing this game once with me? Challenge: suppose we are going to play repeatedly and you want to maximise your gain and I wish to minimise my loss. What value of p should I choose and what value of s should you choose? (This question is somewhat ill-defined, but it does have an interesting possible answer.) (Note: anything labelled "challenge" will not be part of the hand-in.)
The deciding shot in a soccer game comes down to a penalty shot. If the goal-keeper jumps in one corner and the player shots the ball in the other, then it is a goal. If the goalie jumps left and the player shoots left, then it is a goal with probability 1/3. If the goalie jumps right and the player shots right, it is goal with probability 2/3. If both players play Nash strategies, what is the expected value of goals that will follow from this penalty shot. 1/9 2/9 3/9 4/9 5/9 6/9 O7/9
