Question

1 (Rat race/Too cool for school). Consider the following game • N = {1, 2}: two students • Ai = [0, 1]: effort level • vi(ai, a-i) = ai - 2 |ai - 2/3a-i| such that every student derives utility from studying, but also derives disutility from mismatching with the other students (peer pressure). Question: Apply iterated strict dominance to this game. Show all steps and final solution
