Question

Suppose that two players are playing the following game. Player A can choose either Top or Bottom, and Player B can choose either Left or Right. The payoffs are given in the following table where the number on the left is the payoff for player A and the number on the right is the payoff to players b

1. Does player A have a dominant Strategy?

2. Does Player 2 Have a dominant strategy?

3.Player A plays top and b plays left. Is this Nash equilbrium?

4.A plays bottom and B plays left. is this Nash equilbrium?

5. A plays top and B plays right Is this Nash equilbrium?

6. A plays Bottom and B plays right. Is this Nash equilbrium?

Left Right Top 5    5 7   6 Bottom 3   4 6   2

Explanation / Answer

1. Does player A have a dominant Strategy?

    Yes , Playing TOP is the dominanat strategy for player 1, as it is giving higher payoff regardless of player 2 strategy

2. Does Player 2 Have a dominant strategy?

       No, Player 2 doesn't have adominant strategy

3.Player A plays top and b plays left. Is this Nash equilbrium?

       No, As both player can be made better off by player 2 deviating to Right

4.A plays bottom and B plays left. is this Nash equilbrium?

      No, As players can be made better off by player 1 deviating to Top

5. A plays top and B plays right Is this Nash equilbrium?

      Yes, as non of player can be made better-off by deviation from this point.

6. A plays Bottom and B plays right. Is this Nash equilbrium?

      No, Players can be made better off by player 1 deviating to Top
