In Game Theory, what is the primary focus of analysis?

  1. Individual decision-making

  2. Group decision-making

  3. Market dynamics

  4. Social interactions


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Game Theory primarily analyzes how individuals make decisions in strategic situations where their choices affect the outcomes of others.

Which of the following is a fundamental concept in Game Theory?

  1. Nash Equilibrium

  2. Pareto Efficiency

  3. Opportunity Cost

  4. Diminishing Returns


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Nash Equilibrium is a central concept in Game Theory, describing a situation where no player can improve their outcome by unilaterally changing their strategy, assuming other players' strategies remain unchanged.

In a Prisoner's Dilemma game, what is the dominant strategy for each player?

  1. Cooperate

  2. Defect

  3. Tit-for-Tat

  4. Randomize


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In the Prisoner's Dilemma, the dominant strategy for each player is to defect, regardless of the other player's strategy. This leads to a suboptimal outcome for both players, known as the Prisoner's Dilemma.

Which type of game involves a fixed sum of payoffs, where one player's gain is another player's loss?

  1. Zero-Sum Game

  2. Non-Zero-Sum Game

  3. Cooperative Game

  4. Competitive Game


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A Zero-Sum Game is a type of game where the total sum of payoffs for all players is constant. This means that one player's gain is necessarily another player's loss.

In a game with complete information, what is the assumption about players' knowledge?

  1. Players know all possible strategies and payoffs

  2. Players know their own strategies and payoffs

  3. Players know the strategies and payoffs of other players

  4. Players know the rules of the game


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a game with complete information, it is assumed that all players have full knowledge of all possible strategies and the associated payoffs for each strategy.

Which strategy involves responding to an opponent's cooperative move with cooperation and an opponent's defection with defection?

  1. Tit-for-Tat

  2. Nash Equilibrium

  3. Prisoner's Dilemma

  4. Zero-Sum Game


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Tit-for-Tat is a strategy in which a player cooperates on the first move and then responds to the opponent's previous move: cooperation is met with cooperation, and defection is met with defection.

In a game with incomplete information, what is the assumption about players' knowledge?

  1. Players know all possible strategies and payoffs

  2. Players know their own strategies and payoffs

  3. Players know the strategies and payoffs of other players

  4. Players do not know all possible strategies and payoffs


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In a game with incomplete information, it is assumed that players do not have full knowledge of all possible strategies and the associated payoffs for each strategy.

Which of the following is an example of a non-cooperative game?

  1. Prisoner's Dilemma

  2. Oligopoly

  3. Cournot Competition

  4. Bertrand Competition


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Prisoner's Dilemma is an example of a non-cooperative game, where players have conflicting interests and no formal agreements or communication can be made.

In a game with perfect information, what is the assumption about players' knowledge?

  1. Players know all possible strategies and payoffs

  2. Players know their own strategies and payoffs

  3. Players know the strategies and payoffs of other players

  4. Players know the rules of the game


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a game with perfect information, it is assumed that all players have full knowledge of all possible strategies and the associated payoffs for each strategy.

Which of the following is an example of a cooperative game?

  1. Prisoner's Dilemma

  2. Oligopoly

  3. Cournot Competition

  4. Bertrand Competition


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Oligopoly is an example of a cooperative game, where firms in an industry can potentially collude or cooperate to maximize their collective profits.

In a game with imperfect information, what is the assumption about players' knowledge?

  1. Players know all possible strategies and payoffs

  2. Players know their own strategies and payoffs

  3. Players know the strategies and payoffs of other players

  4. Players do not know all possible strategies and payoffs


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In a game with imperfect information, it is assumed that players do not have full knowledge of all possible strategies and the associated payoffs for each strategy.

Which of the following is an example of a zero-sum game?

  1. Prisoner's Dilemma

  2. Oligopoly

  3. Cournot Competition

  4. Bertrand Competition


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Bertrand Competition is an example of a zero-sum game, where firms in an industry compete on price, and the total market share remains constant.

In a game with complete information, what is the assumption about players' knowledge?

  1. Players know all possible strategies and payoffs

  2. Players know their own strategies and payoffs

  3. Players know the strategies and payoffs of other players

  4. Players know the rules of the game


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a game with complete information, it is assumed that all players have full knowledge of all possible strategies and the associated payoffs for each strategy.

Which of the following is an example of a non-zero-sum game?

  1. Prisoner's Dilemma

  2. Oligopoly

  3. Cournot Competition

  4. Bertrand Competition


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cournot Competition is an example of a non-zero-sum game, where firms in an industry compete on quantity, and the total market share can expand or contract.

In a game with imperfect information, what is the assumption about players' knowledge?

  1. Players know all possible strategies and payoffs

  2. Players know their own strategies and payoffs

  3. Players know the strategies and payoffs of other players

  4. Players do not know all possible strategies and payoffs


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In a game with imperfect information, it is assumed that players do not have full knowledge of all possible strategies and the associated payoffs for each strategy.
