Question

Suppose that we have the following auction scheme. There are two bidders, and an item to be allocated to them. Each bidder submits a bid. The highest bidder gets the good, but both bidders pay their bids. Consider the case in which bidder 1 values the item at 3, while bidder 2 values the item at 5; this is commonly known. Each bidder can only submit one of three bids: 0, 1, or 2. If player i bids more than player j, player i gets the good and both pay. If both players bid the same amount, each gets the item with a probability of 0.5, but again, both pay. (a) Write down the game in matrix form. Which strategies survive IESDS? (b) Find the NE of the game.
