(d) Consider a simultaneous-move game between two firms choosing to sell their product at either £6, £7 or £8. The actions and payoffs are given in the matrix below.

Game theory is often used by firms competing under an oligopoly as a means of determining their best strategy. Why is game theory a useful tool and which characteristics of an oligopoly make it particularly useful for firms competing in this market structure? One outcome of an oligopoly is that firms may have an incentive to collude. Explain some of the conditions that make collusion more likely to occur and how game theory can explain why collusive agreements often break down.
38. Consider the following game. There are ten churches in town: nine are Catholic and one is Eastern Orthodox. All churches conduct their divine services at 10am on Sunday morning. You and your friend, without communication, agree to meet at a church service. If you fail to meet at the same church, then you are sad and become a Doomer. What is this game's focal point? Remember that you cannot communicate about this. (A) You meet at any of the Catholic churches. (B) You meet at any of the churches – denomination does not matter. We're all the same bro. (C) You meet at the Orthodox church. (D) There is no focal point. 39. Consider a fractional-reserve banking system in which an initial deposit of $1,000 can generate up to $4,000 in money.

Two business partners jointly own a firm and share equally the revenues. They individually and simultaneously decide how much effort to put into the firm. Let s₁ and s2 denote the effort choices of partner 1 and partner 2, respectively. Assume si € [0, 4]. The cost of effort is given by s? for i E {1, 2}. The firm's revenue is given by 4(81 +82 + bs182) where 0 ≤ b ≤ 1. (Note that the parameter 6 reflects the synergies between the effort levels. b> 0 implies that the more one partner works, the more productive the other partner is.) The payoffs for partners 1 and 2 are: u₁ (81, 82) u2 (81, 82) - = 1 [4(81 +82 +68182)] − 8² - 1 [4(81 +82 + bs182)] – $²
GAME ZZZ B1 Player B A1 30, 30 Player A A2 20, 40 B2 40, 20 35, 35 In the Game ZZZ (see table above), all payoffs are listed with the row player's payoffs first and the column player's payoffs second. In this game, neither player has a dominant strategy. the Nash equilibrium does not maximize the total payoff. there is no Nash equilibrium. the Nash equilibrium maximizes the total payoff.
