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.

Solution

The correct statement about the trust game in our lecture is: "The 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." This statement is correct because in the Subgame Perfect Equilibrium (SPE), player 1 would not trust player 2 and would choose x=0. However, the experiment results suggest that in reality, people tend to trust each other more than what the SPE predicts.

Consider the following two-player game with three actions for each player. Choose the correct statement.1 pointFor Player 1, strategy C is the best action regardless of Player 2’s action.

In every strategy combination, someone has an incentive to deviate.

There are 8 players. Each player chooses one of the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10. The player or players whose number(s) is (are) closest to twice of the average of all numbers chosen wins. The payoff of each player is 1 if she wins (regardless of whether or not there are other winners), and 0 if she loses.What is true in this guessing game? None of the other alternatives is true. For each player, choosing the number 2 is the only strategy that survives iterated elimination of strongly dominated strategies. For each player, choosing the number 10 is the strongly dominant strategy. No player has a strongly dominant strategy. For each player, choosing the number 10 is the only strategy that survives iterated elimination of strongly dominated strategies. Every player has a strongly dominated strategy.
