Solution

The correct statement about the centipede game in our lecture is: "The SPE strategy is 'stop at every turn' for both players, and our experiment did not support the SPE."

Here's why:

In the centipede game, the Subgame Perfect Equilibrium (SPE) strategy suggests that both players should stop at every turn. This is because, theoretically, each player should anticipate that the other player will stop at the next opportunity, thus they should stop first to get the higher payoff.

However, in many experiments, it has been observed that players often do not follow the SPE strategy. Instead, they continue for several rounds, indicating a level of trust or cooperation. Therefore, the statement "our experiment did not support the SPE" is correct.

Consider the following centipede game. At Player 1's first node, he chooses between down (D), which immediately ends the game with payoffs (1,1), or across (A). If A, then Player 2 chooses between down (d), which ends the game with payoffs (0,4), and across (a). If a, then Player 1 moves, choosing between going across (α) or down (δ). If he goes across, payoffs are (2,5); if he goes down, payoffs are (3,3). The game that we have constructed is as follows: Which of the following statements is FALSE? If Player 1 acts rationally at the last node, he will choose down Player 2, expecting that Player 1 will act rationally at the last node, will play down The equilibrium outcome is (3,3) Assuming both players play rationally, the game ends at the first node

Select the correct statement about the trust game in our lecture. Group of answer choicesThe SPE of the game does not capture "trust" between two players since x=0 in the SPE. However, our experiment suggests people tend to trust the other player in average. The game captures "trust" since x=100 in the SPE. This result is also supported by our experiment. Since x=0 in the SPE, player 1 cannot get a higher payoff regardless of player 2's choice of y. In our experiment, it was more profitable to play x=0 rather than x=100 in average if you are randomly matched with one of your classmates.
