Solution

The fact that Nash equilibrium is often inefficient can be explained by the following reasons:

  1. The benefit of a player's good behavior often goes partly to other players.
  2. Players compete with each other and try to minimize each other's payoffs.
  3. Good behavior is not publicly observed.
  4. Good behavior is not appreciated by other players.

What is the definition of the Nash equilibrium? 1 pointA combination of strategies that is most desirable for players. A combination of strategies where players cannot increase their payoffs by deviating together. A combination of strategies that are best replies to each other. A combination of strategies where each player is minimizing other players’ payoffs.

What are the general properties of Nash equilibrium? Choose all applicable properties.1 pointThe sum of players’ payoffs is maximized. Each player assumes that other players take the worst strategies for their opponents. Players are making mutual best replies. No players can increase their payoffs by deviating by themselves.

NASH equilibrium

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. (P1, P1), (P2, P2) and (Player A plays P1 with probability 3/5, Player B plays P1 with probability 1/3) e. (P1, P2), (P2, P2) and (Player A plays P1 with probability 1/2, Player B plays P1 with probability 2/3)
