Question
You and your friend are invited to a picnic and asked to bring either potato salad or fruit salad. You realize that if you both bring the same type of salad, people will be disappointed by not having the other kind available. You and your friend are in a(n):Question 18Answera.Nash equilibrium.b.anti-coordination gamec.collusive agreement.d.coordination game.
Solution
You and your friend are in a(n) b. anti-coordination game. This is because in an anti-coordination game, the best outcome is achieved when all players choose different strategies. In this case, the best outcome is when one of you brings potato salad and the other brings fruit salad.

Consider two restaurants, R1 and R2, simultaneously decide what sort of cuisine they will focus on, Thai (T) or Vietnamese (V). If both opt for T, the payoffs are 10 each. If both opt for V, the payoffs are 20 each. If R1 plays T and R2 V the payoffs are (30, 40). If R1 plays V and R2 T, the payoffs are (50, 60) for R1 and R2, respectively. What are the Nash equilibria?Group of answer choices(V, V)(T, T)(T, T) and (V, V); this is a coordination game(T, V) and (V, T); this is a coordination game.None of the above.
