Players 1, 2, and 3 are playing a game in which the strategy of player i isdenoted yi and can be any nonnegative real number. The payoff function for player 1 is V1(y1,y2,y3) = y1 + y1y2 - (y1)2,for player 2 is V2(y1,y2,y3) = y2 + y1y2 - (y2)2,and for player 3 is V3(y1,y2,y3) = (10 - y1 - y2 - y3)y3.These payoff functions are hill shaped. Find a Nash equilibrium. (Hint: Thepayoff functions are symmetric for players 1 and 2.)
1. Contract Enforcement Between Buyer and Seller in a Supply Chain. Suppose that two firms, 1 and 2, must undergo a certain amount of investment so as to coordinate their efforts in order to enable the supplier to produce a good to be used as an input in the buyer's production process. Such investment may involve the costs incurred by both parties in the initial planning and design phase of the relationship and/or involve the firms in having to incur the associated costs of purchasing specialized equipment and developing certain production processes in order to satisfy the needs and specific requirements of both parties. In any case, suppose that the technology of the relationship and the structure of the underlying game are given by the following normal form representation of the game: Firm 1 Invest (I) Not Invest (N) Firm 2 Invest (I) Z₁, Z₂ (41, 35) X1, Y2 (92,-42) Not Invest (N) Y1, X2 (-32, 21) (0, 0) Further suppose that the players contract in a setting of court-imposed breach…

Define a new game as a modified version of the game in Problem 1, which we will call the Matching Two Pennies game: each player choose heads (H) or tails (T) for two pennies.

If Player 1 opts out (plays O) then both Player 1 and Player 2 get a payoff of 4 each and the game ends. If Player 1 decides to play G, then the simultaneous-move game is played. Find the pure-strategy Nash equilibria in this extended version of the game.
