QUESTION 23 In the 1950s, Walt Disney began to plan the development of a theme park that would eventually become Disneyland. Disney hired an economist to help determine whether the park would be a financial success. This economist surveyed managers of existing amusement parks for advice. Many of these managers A. recommended that the theme park be located in California because population in the state would increase greatly in the future. Disney followed this advice.

C. recommended that Disney not build the park and leave the amusement park business to those who knew what they were doing. D. believed that a theme park would be very successful because the Disney name created a market among children…

Identify a real-world situation in which you see game theory/strategic behavior in action. Explain the game: Who are the players ? What are the strategies they have at their disposal?

Use the following information to answer questions 1 to 5. A firm is deciding whether or not to enter a new market. The decision tree for the firm is provided below. The prompt below the decision tree explains how the decision tree was created. Enter Do Not Enter Allowed 0.9 Denied 0.1 3 Research No Research Good 0.7 Bad 0.3 5 6 Produce Sell Produce Sell Produce Sell 8 9 10 High 0.75 Low 0.25 High 0.25 Low 0.75 High 0.6 Low 0.4 Profit (5000s) 1200 -800 -200 1200 -800 -200 1400 -600 0 -100 0 At node 1, the firm must decide whether to enter the new market or not. The cost of attempting to enter is $100,000. The upper branch from node 2 shows that the firm has a 0.9 probability of being allowed to enter the market. If the firm is allowed to enter, it will have to pay $1,500,000 to buy the facilities required to become a part of the market. Node 3 shows that the firm will then consider doing a research study to forecast demand for their new product prior to beginning production. The cost of…

Define the prisoner’s dilemma game.    The prisoner’s dilemma game is a:    two-person noncooperative sequential game that demonstrates the difficulty of cooperative behavior in certain circumstances. two-person cooperative simultaneous game that demonstrates the difficulty of cooperative behavior in certain circumstances. two-person noncooperative simultaneous game that demonstrates the difficulty of cooperative behavior in certain circumstances. two-person cooperative sequential game that demonstrates the difficulty of cooperative behavior in certain circumstances. a. What assumptions lead to the dilemma? If the prisoners confess, each would get a light sentence. But each prisoner is interrogated separately and is offered the chance to go free if he or she confesses to the crime and agrees to serve as a witness against the other prisoner. This creates the incentive for both prisoners to not confess. If the prisoners do not confess, each would get a…

The definition of Game Theory is: Game Theory is a field of mathematics that analyzes strategic-interaction between rational, self-interested players. Give an example of a situation that can be considered a game from the perspective of game theory. You can choose this example from your experience or you can consider a hypothetical scenario. Use your own imagination and make sure this is not any famous or known example used in game theory. 1. What is happening in this game? 2. Who are the players in this game? 3. What are the possible actions for each player? 4. Represent the game in normal form with the utilities you have mentioned in the description of the game. 5. Justify the utilities you have assigned. 6. Find the best responses of each player.

29. What is another name for a simultaneous-move game of incomplete information? a. Dynamic Game of Complete Information b. Static Game of Complete Information c. Dynamic Bayesian Game d. Static Bayesian Game

Say that you are bidding in a sealed-bid auction and that you really want the item being auctioned. Winning it would be worth $500 to you. Say you expect the next-highest bidder to bid $300.a. In a standard “highest-bid” auction, what bid would a rational person make? The rational choice is to bid $500 since that is what the item is worth to you. The rational choice is to bid a little bit more than $300 because that is the expected next-highest bid. The rational choice is to bid just under $500 so that you have a higher chance of winning the auction and would still have a net benefit. The rational choice is to bid over $500 to guarantee that you win the item. b. In a Vickrey auction, what bid would he make? The rational choice is to bid slightly more than $500. The rational choice is to bid $500. The rational choice is to bid slightly less than $500. The rational choice is to bid slightly more than $300.

**Practice***  Amy and Bob are playing the following board game:(I) Amy starts. She has three possible actions: Pass, Attack, or Defend.(II) Bob observes what Amy chose, and then chooses between three actions with the same names: Pass, Attack, or Defend.(III) If either player passes, or one attacks and the other defends, then the game ends. But if either both players attack, or if both players defend, then Amy has to choose between two actions: Respond or Not Respond. The payoffs are as follows:-  If both players pass, both players get a payoff of 0.- If a player attacks and the other player defends, the player that attacks gets a payoff of 1, while the player that defended gets a payoff of 2.- If a player passes but the other player attacks or defends, the player who passes gets a payoff of -1, and the player who attacked or defended gets a payoff of 3.- If both players attack or both players defend:– If Amy responds, she gets a payoff of 4, and Bob gets a payoff of 0.– If Amy does…

Economics Game theory: Consider a collective action game with thirty individuals (N = 30). When the number of participants in the joint project is n, each individual, including shirkers, receives a benefit of B(n) = 18n and each participant incurs a cost of C(n) = 32 – 2n. Please answer the questions I am asking! 1. Find all of the Nash equilibria, both stable and unstable ones. 2. Find the socially optimal outcome. 3. Check if any of the Nash equilibria is socially optimal. Explain your answer.
