What is the Nash Equilibrium in a game?
-
The set of strategies for all players such that no player can improve their payoff by changing their strategy.
-
The set of strategies for all players such that all players have the same payoff.
-
The set of strategies for all players such that all players have the highest possible payoff.
-
The set of strategies for all players such that all players have the lowest possible payoff.
The Nash Equilibrium is a set of strategies for all players such that no player can improve their payoff by changing their strategy. This means that each player is playing the best strategy they can, given the strategies of the other players.
What is the Prisoner's Dilemma?
-
A situation in which two players have conflicting interests and each player's best strategy is to betray the other player.
-
A situation in which two players have common interests and each player's best strategy is to cooperate with the other player.
-
A situation in which two players have no interests in common and each player's best strategy is to ignore the other player.
-
A situation in which two players have perfectly aligned interests and each player's best strategy is to do whatever the other player does.
The Prisoner's Dilemma is a situation in which two players have conflicting interests and each player's best strategy is to betray the other player. This is because each player knows that if they cooperate with the other player, they will get a lower payoff than if they betray the other player. However, if both players betray each other, they will both get a lower payoff than if they had both cooperated.
What is the Tragedy of the Commons?
-
A situation in which a shared resource is overused because each individual user has an incentive to use the resource as much as possible.
-
A situation in which a shared resource is underused because each individual user has an incentive to conserve the resource.
-
A situation in which a shared resource is used efficiently because each individual user has an incentive to use the resource in a way that maximizes the total benefit to all users.
-
A situation in which a shared resource is used inefficiently because each individual user has an incentive to use the resource in a way that maximizes their own benefit.
The Tragedy of the Commons is a situation in which a shared resource is overused because each individual user has an incentive to use the resource as much as possible. This is because each individual user knows that if they use the resource less, the other users will still use it, and they will get a lower payoff. However, if all users use the resource less, they will all get a higher payoff.
What is the Hawk-Dove Game?
-
A game in which two players compete for a resource, and each player can choose to be a hawk or a dove.
-
A game in which two players cooperate to achieve a common goal, and each player can choose to be a hawk or a dove.
-
A game in which two players compete for a resource, and each player can choose to be a hawk, a dove, or a mixed strategy.
-
A game in which two players cooperate to achieve a common goal, and each player can choose to be a hawk, a dove, or a mixed strategy.
The Hawk-Dove Game is a game in which two players compete for a resource, and each player can choose to be a hawk or a dove. Hawks are aggressive and always fight for the resource, while doves are peaceful and always yield to hawks. If both players choose to be hawks, they both get a lower payoff than if they had both chosen to be doves. If one player chooses to be a hawk and the other player chooses to be a dove, the hawk gets a higher payoff than the dove. However, if both players choose to be doves, they both get a higher payoff than if they had both chosen to be hawks.

If the offer is accepted, the game ends and the players receive the payoffs that were specified in the offer. If the offer is rejected, the other player then makes an offer to the first player. The game continues in this way until one player accepts an offer or the game reaches a predetermined number of rounds.

What is the Trust Game?
-
A game in which one player sends a sum of money to another player, and the other player can either return the money or keep it.
