5. Design and solve a one-period game with two players who each have two possible actions. Assume the players make their respective choices of actions simultaneously. Design your game so that there are three Nash equilibria (at least). After solving the Nash equilibria of the game, interpret your game in the context of corporate culture.

Sam and Sarah are thinking about getting married. However if either of them cheats on the other, they would get a payoff of 10, while the other person gets zero. If neither cheat, they stay with each other and get a payoff of 7 each and if both cheat, the relationship falls apart and each get a payoff of 1. What is the Nash equilibrium of this game? a. Cheat, Cheat b. Not cheat, Not cheat Sam cheats, Sarah doesn't Sarah cheats, Sam doesn't

Roger and Rafael play a game with the following rules. Roger is given $250 to divide between himself and Rafael. Rafael does not get to choose but he can reject Roger’s offer if he does not like it. If Rafael rejects, both get nothing. If Rafael accepts, both get the split that Roger decided. a. What is this game called? b. Find all Nash equilibria for this game. c. When this game is played in the real world, do the predictions in part 1b materialize? Why/why not? d. Are all Nash equilibria in part 1b Pareto Optimal? Explain
Emma and Mia are invited to two events A and B. They want to go to both events but are not on speaking terms. Going to event A results in a payoff of 5 while going to B results in a payoff of 4. When they go to the same event, they each get a payoff of -8. 6. Write the payoff table for this game. 7. Find the maximin solution. (Show the steps leading to the solution.) 8. Find the Nash Equilibrium. (Show the steps leading to the NE.)
1. Each of two players simultaneously announces either Rock, Paper, or Scissors. Paper beats Rock, Rock beats Scissors, and Scissors beats Paper. The player who names the winning object receives $1 from her opponent. If both players make the same choice, no payment is made. Each players's preferences are represented by by the expected amount of money she receives. a) Formulate the situation as a strategic game and find all its mixed strategy equilibria. Make sure that you consider all different supports. b) Find all the mixed strategy equilibria of the modified game in which player 2 is prohibited from announcing Rock.
Game Theory Question A non-profit firm is on a local community online donation platform for a community event it wants to hold (only community members can donate via the website). The event will be held only if the non-profit firm collects $20,000 total from members of the community. Each member values the event at $500. Suppose that there are 100 community members. Community members can only donate by purchasing a lottery ticket from the firm. Each ticket costs $200 and only one ticket can be purchased per member. The proceeds will be collected by the firm. The lottery winner gets a premier meal at a local restaurant that's worth $100. Remember, the firm keeps all the donated money. If the amount of donations is less than $20,000, then the firm returns the donated money to the community members (since there'll be no event held but the lottery winner still gets to eat that fancy meal). If the donations sum up to $20,000, the community event will take place. What are the Nash…

Use the following payoff matrix for a one-shot game to answer the accompanying questions. a. Determine the Nash equilibrium outcomes that arise if the players make decisions independently, simultaneously, and without any communication. Which of these outcomes would you consider most likely? Explain. b. Suppose player 1 is permitted to “communicate” by uttering one syllable before the players simultaneously and independently make their decisions. What should player 1 utter, and what outcome do you think would occur as a result? c. Suppose player 2 can choose its strategy before player 1, that player 1 observes player 2’s choice before making her decision, and that this move structure is known by both players. What outcome would you expect? Explain.
Consider the game with the payoffs below. Which of the possible outcomes are MORE efficient than the Nash Equilibrium (NE)? Note, they do NOT need to be Nash equilibria themselves, they just need to be more efficient than the NE. Multiple answers are possible, but not necessary.
