(0, 2)

B

(1, 1)

(3, 4)

3) Consider the following game between Sony, a manufacturer ofvideo cassette players, and Columbia Pictures, a movie studio. Eachfirm must decide whether to use the VHS or Beta format - Sony tomake video players, Columbia to release its movies for rental orpurchase.

Columbia Pictures
Beta VHS
Sony Beta 20, 10 0, 0
VHS 0, 0 10, 20

a) Restrict attention to pure strategies. Does either firm have adominant strategy? What is (are) the Nash equilibrium (equilibria)of this game?
b) Is there a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium in this game? If so,what is it?

Consider the following game:

	A	B
A	12,18	5,9
B	6,8	20,15

List all of the Pure Strategy Nash Equilibria of this game.

There is also a mixed strategy Nash Equilibrium to this game. In that equilibrium, with what probabilities will each player play action A? Action B?

Consider the following game. Player 1 has an infinite set of pure strategies, which is the interval [0, 1]. Player 2 has only two pure strategies, L and R. When Player 1 chooses his pure strategy x â [0, 1], payoffs to Player 1 are u1(x, L) = 2 â 2x, u1(x, R) = x; and payoffs to Player 2 are u2(x, L) = x, u2(x, R) = 1 â x.

(i) Show that the game has no Nash equilibrium in pure strategies.

(ii) Find all Nash equilibria of the game when Player 2 is allowed to use a mixed strategy. Explain carefully why they are Nash equilibria. Give the payoffs to the two players.
