    重要的事情说三遍。

Practice exam, Practice exam, Practice exam

刷题,刷题,刷题


What do top students do differently? | Douglas Barton |

  1. not IQ
  2. not work hard
  3. do Practice exam

计划

  1. 首先,把近些年 last final 做好。
  2. 然后,复习近些年的midterm。
  3. 最后,根据做错的题目,阅读slides。
  4. 考试的时候,永远从最简单的题目,做起。不会的,难得,就留到后面。交卷前,一定检查。

midterm 1

Types of games

  • prisoner’s dilemma,
  • a battle of the sexes,
    • a pure coordination game
    • 2017 midterm1 q6
    • 合作,就获利,不合作,吃亏
  • a zero sum game
    • 2017 Midterm1 q1 A zero sum game (when the sum of all players payoff s for any strategy pro le is always equal to zero) has Nash equilibrium.

Static Game

  • weakly dominated
  • strictly dominated,
    • 2017 midterm1 q8
  • Solve the game by iterated elimination of strictly dominated strategies,
  • Equilibrium not payoff, is strategies.

Credible threat

  • Final – 2011 q1 In a sequential game, it can be useful for a player to have the ability to credibly commit to an action that would result in a disastrous outcome for all players

5.Nash Equilibrium in Pure Strategies for Continuous Strategy Spaces - Cournot/lecnotes5

5.1 - 2017 midterm1 q9

  • 这一题,双方有不一样的成本,所以,best response 不一样。
  • each payoff function.
  • Best response function
  • the Nash Equilibrium quantities
  • quantity should produce

6.mixed strategy/lecnotes6

  • 2017 midterm1 q4 In a mixed strategy equilibrium all pure strategies that are played with a strictly positive probability provide the same expected payoff against the other players’ strategies.

6.1 The Blue Chicken /2011 final q4

  • pure strategy
  • mixed strategy
    • 如果有一方A的payoff 结构变了。那不是他A的probability p要变。而是对方B要变q,从而让他A在两个action之间indifferent。
  • 警察抓醉驾司机的例子,也是一样。

9.Coase Theorem and Property Rights/lecnotes9

9.1 2017 midterm1 q8

  • the payoffs under an assignment of property rights
  • describe the range of Coasean contracts that could be written between the two farmers
  • ensure the socially desirable outcome.
  • 加总payoff最大的是socially desirable outcome.
  • 双方可以谈判,一方让渡一些好处给另一方,从低收益的NE,跳到高收益的cell。
