... (If both drive a hard bargain, there’s no deal, so there’s zero change relative to the baseline. If both drive an easy bargain, Hector pays $700 for a $1000 gain, and Menelaus receives $700 for accepting a $400 loss, yielding net $300 each. If Hector drives an easy bargain and Menelaus a hard barga ...

... Q2. (24 pts) Consider two firms that play a Cournot duopoly game with inverse demand p = 100 − q and costs for each firm given by ci (qi ) = 10qi . Suppose that before the Cournot duopoly game, Firm 1 can choose to invest in cost reduction. If Firm 1 does, then it must pay a one-time cost of F , an ...

Mixed Nash Equilibria 1 Normal Form Game 2 Pure Nash Equilibrium
... Proof of Theorem 2.11. Consider a finite normal form game. Without loss of generality let N = {1, . . . , n}, Si = {1, . . . , mi }. So the set of mixed states X can be considered a subset of P Rm with m = ni=1 mi . Exercise: Show that X is convex and compact. We will define a function f : X → X tha ...
