Equilibria


Some foolish teenagers play "chicken" of Friday nights.  Two teenagers drive their cars at each other at high speeds.  The first to swerve to the side is the "chicken" and loses.  If both swerve out of the way, they are both chickens and both lose.  Neither of the drivers wants to get into an accident.  It causes a significant loss in utility (possibly death).  However, both do not want to be known as a chicken.  This causes some loss in utility.  
a. What is the equilibrium of this game?
b. Do you think the tow drivers will necessarily produce an equilibrium outcome?  
c. Do you think the chances are better or worse for achieving an equilibrium outcome if the two players know each other?  Explain.
d. Do you think it matters whether the two players have played the game before?  Explain.

Consider clubs in two different locations. One is located in a suburban area where the residents tend to be of similar age, income, and occupation. Which of the locations is more likely to charge a membership fe...
price discrimination/pricing policies - Consider three firms: a shoe store at the mall, an automobile dealership, and a house painting firm. a. Which firm would you expect to engage in the most price discrimination? Why? b. How has the Internet changed the pricing policies of these businesses?
Game theory/competition vs. coordination - Suppose Microsoft can produce a new sophisticated software product. However, it wants to do so only if Intel produces high-speed microprocessors. Otherwise, the software will not sell. Intel, in turn, wants to produce high-speed microprocessors only if there is popular software on the market that requires high-speed processing. Is this a game of compe...
