4.(Scenario I) Consider the real-world observation that lottery winners tend to give away more of their money to friends and family than self-made millionaires give to theirs. Using the dictator game, which of these is the best way to model this in the laboratory? A) Study differences in Allocator behavior when the sum of money ranges from small to large. B) Compare typical performance with a modification in which the winner of a game of skill gets to be the Allocator. C) Study Allocator behavior under conditions where the Receiver is either a friend or a stranger. D) Compare allocations to Receivers who are either friends or strangers in a game in which the Allocator's own money is used.

Person "A" and Person "B" are deciding on whether to purchase a small or large car. Small cars have fuel efficiency advantages and convenience in parking, but some are concerned that the safety of small cars are compromised if too many large cars are on the road. Game Theory Matrix: Small vs Large Car Choice Person B: Small Car | Person B: Large Car Person A: Small Car | $80, $70 | $30, $90 Person A: Large Car | $105, $40 | $50, $60 Higher numbers indicate more benefit for the players. Assume both players know what the matrix looks like. What is the most likely outcome (i.e. the nash equilibrium)? "A" chooses Small Car; "B" chooses Large Car Both choose: Small Car Both choose: Large Car "B" chooses Small Car; "A" chooses Large Car

Pairs of members of a single population engage in the following game. Each player has three actions, corresponding to demands of 1, 2, or 3 units of payoff. If both players in a pair make the same demand, each player obtains her demand. Otherwise the player who demands less obtains the amount demanded by her opponent, while the player who demands more obtains ad, where a is her demand and 8 is a number less than 1/3. a. [10 points) Find the set of pure evolutionarily stable strategies. b. [10 points] Now suppose each player has n actions, corresponding to demands of (1, 2, ..., n) units of payoff and assume that d < 1/n. Find the set of pure evolutionarily stable strategies.

You are in charge of allocating residents to your dormitory's baseball and basketball teams. You are down to the last four people, two of whom must be allocated to baseball and two to basketball. The accompanying table gives each person's batting average and freethrow average. $$ \begin{array}{l|c|c} \text { Name } & \text { Batting average } & \text { Free-throw average } \\ \text { Kelley } & 70 \% & 60 \% \\ \text { Jackie } & 50 \% & 50 \% \\ \text { Curt } & 10 \% & 30 \% \\ \text { Gerry } & 80 \% & 70 \% \end{array} $$ a. Explain how you would use the concept of comparative advantage to allocate the players. Begin by establishing each player's opportunity cost of free throws in terms of batting average. b. Why is it likely that the other basketball players will be unhappy about this arrangement but the other baseball players will be satisfied? Nonetheless, why would an economist say that this is an efficient way to allocate players for your dormitory's sports teams?
