This table shows a game played between two firms, Firm A and Firm B. In this game each firm must decide l output (Q) to produce: 5 units or 6 units. The profit for each firm is given in the table as (Profit for Firm A, Pr Firm B). Refer to Table. The dominant strategy For Firm A is to produce 5 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 6 units. 5 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 5 units. 6 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 5 units. 6 units and the dominant strategy for Firm B is to produce 6 units.

Firm 1 and Firm 2 compete in the same product market by setting quantities q₁ and 92, respectively. They have the same marginal cost c₁ = C₂ = 40. The market demand is p=1240 Q, where Q = 91 +92. 19. Suppose the game is played for one period. What are the equilibrium quantities? (a) q₁ = 1000, 92 1000 (b) q₁ = 800, q2 = 800 (c) 91 = 600, q2 = 600 (d) 9₁ = 400, q2 = 400 (e) 9₁ = 200, q2 = 200 In questions 19-21, suppose that this game is repeated for infinitely many periods. Firms have the same discount rate 8. Consider the situation in which the two firms are trying to implement a collusion scheme. With this intent, they employ the following grim-trigger strategy: in the first period, each firm produces the collusion quantity; from period two onwards, the firm keep producing the collusion quantity as long as no firm has ever pro- duced any quantity other than the collusion quantity; otherwise, the firm plays the Nash Equilibrium of the stage game. As you will see, what varies from one…
Three firms share a market. The demand function is P(q1, 92, 93) = 10 – q1 – 92 – 93, where q; is the output of firm i, Player i. The marginal cost per unit for each firm is zero. Suppose firm 1 is a market leader, and that firm 2, and firm 3 choose q2 and q3 simultaneously after observing q1 Find the SPE of this game. How much is produced by firm 2? Numerical answer How much is produced by firm 1, 2, and 3?

Consider the following extensive form game between player 1 and player 2. T B (2, 2) L R R (3, 1) (0, 0) (5, 0) (0, 1) (a). Find the normal form representation of this game. (show the bimatrix) (b). Find all pure strategy NE. (c). Which of these equilibria are subgame perfect?
(a) Stan and Ollie are two students who share a flat. Both of them prefer to live in a clean flat. However, neither is too fond of housecleaning. Each of them receives a payoff of 12 if they both clean the flat. If neither person cleans the flat, they receive a payoff of 6 each. If one person cleans the flat but the other person does not, then the payoff for the person who does the cleaning is 5 and the payoff for the person who doesn't do any cleaning is 15. (i) Write down the payoff matrix of this game. Derive the dominant strategy equilibrium. Is this also a Nash equilibrium? (ii) Expiain your reasoning. Consider a game with N players. Each player chooses Black or White. If a player (b) chooses Black, she gets 100 if everyone else also chooses Black, and she gets 0 if any of the other players does not choose Black. If a player chooses White, she always gets 50. Show that everyone choosing Black and everyone choosing White are both Nash equilibria of this game.
