Question

Consider the Sequential Matching Pennies Game. Now assume player 1 is allowed to quit the game in the initial node, hence she has three actions. If she quits the game, the game ends and both players receive 0 payoff. If she chooses Head or Tail, the game is played as illustrated in the lecture. Which of the following is TRUE for this game? A. The set of pure strategy Nash equilibria and the set of subgame perfect equilibria are identical B. There are pure strategy Nash equilibrium which are not subgame perfect equilibrium C. There are subgame perfect equilibrium which are not Nash equilibrium
