- Question 2 The game of Chicken is played by two teens who speed toward each other on a single lane road. The first to veer off is branded the chicken, whereas the one who doesn’t veer gains peer- group esteem. Of course, if neither veers, both die in the resulting crash. Payoffs to the Chicken game are provided in the following table. TEEN 2 TEEN 1 Veer Don't Veer Veer Don't Veer 2,2 3,1 1,3 0,0 a) Draw the extensive form. b) Find the pure-strategy Nash equilibrium or equilibria. c) Compute the mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium. As part of your answer draw the best- response function diagram for the mixed strategies. d) Suppose the game is played sequentially with teen A moving first and committing to this action by throwing away the steering wheel. What are teen B's contingent strategies? Write down the normal and extensive forms for the sequential version of the game. e) Using the normal form for the sequential version of the game, solve for the Nash equilibria. f) Identify the proper…"Show how the concept of focal points can lead us towards unique outcomes in games where multiple Nash equilibria exist" Guidance: you should use (numerous) examples to frame your discussion, and each example should focus upon a different aspect of why focal points existi. ii. QUESTION ONE A. A Nash equilibrium is a strategy profile such that every player's strategy is the best response to all the other players. It requires that each player makes a best response and that expectations regarding the play of other players are correct. Below is the table showing strategies and payoff for Player 1 and Player 2. PLAYER 1 R1 R2 R3 R4 C1 0,7 5,2 7,0 6,6 C2 2,5 3,3 2,5 2,2 PLAYER 2 C3 7,0 5,2 0,7 4,4 CA 6,6 2,2 4,4 10,4 REQUIRED; Transform the normal form game above into an imperfect extensive game form Find the Nash equilibrium for the game above using iterative deletion of strictly dominated strategies. Find the Nash equilibrium using brute force or cell by cell inspection.

Empirical data suggests that subjects do better than predicted by game theory at (A) signalling and coordination; (B) backward induction; (C) mixing their strategies; (D) none of the above. can you help me answer number 14 please?4. Consider the following game. There are four distinct glasses of wine on a table: three are red wine, and one is white. Two players must pick a glass of wine at the same time. If they choose the exact same glass of wine, then they each earn $1,000. Otherwise, they earn nothing. Draw the payoff matrix. What is this game's Nash equilibrium (or equilibria)? What is this game's focal point? Explain. (20%) 5. Rational ignorance poses a serious problem for democracy, but can be partially resolved by implementing Skin in the Game policies. For example, consider the following law: politicians who vote for war must enlist in the military, or have a family member enlist. How does this law (a) fall under Skin in the Game; and (b) Resolve the problem of Rational Ignorance when it comes to foreign policy?

(b) Formulate a linear program that can be used to calculate a mixed strategy x € A(R) that maximises Rosemary's security level for this modified game. (c) Solve your linear program using the 2-phase simplex algorithm. You should use the format given in lectures. Give a mixed strategy x E A(R) that has an optimal security level for Rosemary and a mixed strategy y E A(C) that has an optimal security level for Colin.
