Exercise 4 [25]: Consider the following version of the prisoners' Dilemma egin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} hline 12 & $L$ & $R$ \ hline $L$ & 6,6 & 0,10 \ hline $R$ & 10,0 & 1,1 \ hline end{tabular} 1. Determine the Nash equilibrium of the one-shot game. Explain your answer. (5 pts) Suppose that this one-shot game is repeated twice. 2. What are the subgames to this new game? (5 pts) 3. What is the Subgame Perfect Nash equilibrium? Explain. (5 pts) Imagine now that it is infinitely repeated. 4. Find the smallest value of the discount rate for which trigger strategies support cooperative outcome as a SPNE. (10 pts)

Step 1
The Nash equilibrium of the one-shot game: In this game, each player has two strategies: L (Left) and R (Right). A Nash equilibrium is a set of strategies, one for each player, such that no player has incentive to unilaterally change her action given the other Show more…

The following game is a version of the Prisoners' Dilemma, but the payoffs are slightly different than in Figure 8.1 a. Verify that the Nash equilibrium is the usual one for the Prisoners' Dilemma and that both players have dominant strategies. b. Suppose the stage game is repeated infinitely many times. Compute the discount factor required for their suspects to be able to cooperate on silent each period. Outline the trigger strategies you are considering for them.

Two people can perform a task if, and only if, they both work. The cost of effort is 0 < c < 1; and if the task is performed their payoff is 1 each. This results in the following bimatrix representation, where W stands for working, and S stands for shirking. a) (10 points) Find all the pure strategy Nash equilibria of this game. Show all your work for full credit (b) (15 points) Find all the mixed strategy Nash equilibria of this game. Show all your work for full credit. How does the mixed strategy equilibrium change as c increases?
