6、your actions”,Lecture 13,Slide 8,Gaming and Strategic Decisions,An Example: How to buy a dollar bill 1)Auction a dollar bill 2)Highest bidder receives the dollar in return for the amount bid,Lecture 13,Slide 9,Gaming and Strategic Decisions,An Example 3)Second highest bidder must pay the amount he o

Failure: Ts value = $0 Success: Ts value = $100/share All outcomes are equally likely,Lecture 13,Slide 12,Acquiring a Company,Scenario Ts value will be 50% greater with As management. A, must submit the proposal before the exploration outcome is known. T will not choose
9、to accept or reject until after the outcome is known only to T. How much should A offer?,Lecture 13,Slide 13,Key Ideas,Know your strategic situation, what is the game you are playing? Do not impose your own wishes and fancies on a game. that has been given to you . Your competitor is just as smart a
10、s you are! Has same information,rationality, and intelligence. you cannot “outguess” your opponent. Think about the response of others to your actions,Lecture 13,Slide 14,Game theory,Game theory is the study of strategic behavior in situation of conflict. In a oligopoly, a firms output choice depend
11、s on its prediction of its rivals output choices. These strategic choices are complex because other firms are also choosing output based on their predictions of their rivals outputs. To choose its best output, a firm must determine what the best choices of other firms will be, assuming rational beha
12、vior by all other firms and then do the best it can.,Lecture 13,Slide 15,Game Theory: Concept,A game is a general concept; it includes almost any situation in which each decision makers profits depends on actions of other decision makers. The decision makers are called the players. To describe a gam
13、e, we need to know the rules of the game, the possible strategies of each player, and the payoffs from each possible combination of actions. Players are assumed to want to maximize their payoffs. The rules include the order of moves by the players and whether binding agreements about actions are pos
14、sible. If no binding agreements are allowed, then the game is non-cooperative. The Cournot model is example of a non-cooperative game. Each firm independently makes its output choice with no possibility of entering into binding commitments with other firms. In fact, most games studied in economics a
15、re non-cooperative games. By contrast, in a cooperative game, firms can make binding commitments that allow them to plan joint strategies. Contract negotiations are an important example of cooperative games.,Lecture 13,Slide 16,Three Factors,1. Players 2. Strategies 3. Payoffs,Lecture 13,Slide 17,Ty

Non-cooperative Simultaneous Vs. sequential choice One-time Vs. repeated games,Lecture 13,Slide 18,Prisoners Dilemma,Two prisoners have been accused of collaborating in a crime. They are in separate jail cells and cannot communicate with each ot
17、her. Each has been asked to confess to the crime. If both prisoners confess, each will receive a prison term of five years. If neither confesses, the prosecutions case will be difficult to make, so the prisoners can expect to plea bargain and receive a term of two years. On the other hand, if one pr
18、isoner confesses and other does not, the one who confesses will receive a term of only one year, while the other will go to prison for ten years. If you were one of these prisoners, what would you do - confess or not confess?,Prisoner B,Confess,Dont Confess,Confess,Dont Confess,Prisoner A,-5, -5,-1,

35、R ( 1- 偷) + (-D) 偷小偷认为警卫不会愿意得益为负,最多为零。即R/D= 偷/ ( 1- 偷) 小偷偷不偷的概率等于R与D的比率,0,1,小偷偷 的概率,警卫睡觉的期望得益,R,D,P偷,Lecture 13,Slide 53,博弈模型与竞争策略,同样的道理警卫偷懒的概率 (睡觉) 睡 决定了小偷的得益为:(-P) ( 1- 睡) + (B) 睡警卫也认为小偷不会愿意得益为负,最多为零。即B / P = ( 1- 睡)/ 睡 警卫偷不偷懒的概率取决于 B与P的比率有趣的激励悖论 管理经济学考什么?,0,1,警卫偷懒 的概率,小偷的期望得益,P睡,P,B,Lecture 13,Sl
