Backward induction involves: Question 64 options: starting with the first choice and working forward to determine an optimal strategy. analyzing the decision in a prisoner's dilemma-type game. a process of analyzing a problem in forward looking way. thinking backward and working forward.

On a decision tree, once the tree has been drawn and the payoffs and probabilities have been placed on the tree, the analysis (computing the Expected Value (EV) and selecting the best alternative) is done by: a. Working forward in time from left to right b. Working backwards in time from right to left c. Working from both ends of the tree towards the center d. Working from the center of the tree towards both ends

Question 1: Consider the following game. a) Solve the game by backward induction and report the strategy profile that results. [5 points] b) How many proper subgames does this game have? [5 points]

Consider again Example 1 in Lecture Notes 8: Sequential-Move Games. This time, assume the players reverse their order of moves: Player B goes first, and Player A goes second. (a) (4 pts) Draw the game tree. Make sure to assign players to the correct nodes, label edges with actions, and write payoffs next to appropriate terminal nodes. (b) (3 pts) Use backward induction to solve the game: put an arrow on each edge that each player will choose when the player gets the chance. (c) (3 pts) What is the subgame perfect equilibrium (SPE)? What is the SPE outcome? What are the SPE payoffs?
