Solution

A Nash equilibrium, named after Nobel winning economist John Nash, is a concept of game theory where the optimal outcome of a game is one where no player has an incentive to deviate from their chosen strategy after considering an opponent's choice.

Here are the steps to find a Nash equilibrium:

  1. Identify the strategies of the players involved in the game.

  2. Determine the payoffs for each player for each possible combination of strategies.

  3. For each player, identify which strategies are best given the strategies of the other players. This is done by comparing the payoffs of each strategy given the strategies of the other players.

  4. The Nash equilibrium is where the strategies intersect, meaning that no player can improve their payoff by unilaterally changing their strategy.

Remember, there can be more than one Nash equilibrium in a game or there may be none at all.

Consider the following game in which Sally can play T or B and John chooses between L or R. Each player makes their choice simultaneously. If Sally chooses T and John chooses L ,Sally gets a payoff of 3 and John has a payoff of 7. If Sally plays T and John R, Sally’s payoff is 2 and John gets 1. If Sally Chooses B and John L, the payoffs are 1 to Sally and 2 to John. Finally, if Sally chooses B and John R, the payoffs are 4 to Sally and 3 to John.

Consider the following game. Player A and B simultaneously choose to work on either Project 1 (P1) or Project 2 (P2). The payoffs are as follows: if both players choose P1 the payoffs are 6 to A and 2 to B; if A chooses P1 and B chooses P2 the payoffs are 0 to each party; likewise, if A chooses P2 and B chooses P1 the payoffs are 0 to each party; and, finally, if A chooses P2 and B P2 the payoffs are 3 to both players. What are all of the Nash equilibria of this game? a. (P1, P1) b. (P1, P1), (P2, P2) c. (P1, P1), (P2, P2) and (Player A plays P1 with probability 1/3, Player B plays P1 with probability 1/2) d.
