Your economics instructor assigns you and a student you do not know a joint project. Assume that you and your partner are both interested in maximizing your grade, but you are both very busy and get more happiness if you can get a good grade with less work. Since you do not know the student, making a credible commitment to how you are going to work is impossible. Note that on the payoff matrix below, 10/10 is happiest and 1/10 is...

You have to do a two-student project in a class. Assume that you
and your partner are both interested in maximizing your grade, but
you are both very busy and get more happiness if you can get a
good grade with less work. The strategy choices for you and your
partner and the resulting payoffs are described in the figure
below. (a) What is your dominant strategy? What is your partner’s
dominant strategy? Explain. (b) What is the Nash equilibrium in

3. Suppose you and your class mate have to do a group assignment. Both of you can decide to work or shirk. If you both work, then both will get a good mark but both incur the cost of working. If one person works, you get a bad mark but the person who shirked will not have to put in the effort. If both shirk then the students fail. The following table represents the individuals’ utilities (as always the first...

Two classmates, Jorge and George, are assigned an extra-credit group project. Each student can choose to Shirk or to Work. If one or more players choose Work, the project is completed and provides each with extra credit valued at 4 payoff units each. The cost of completing the project is 6 units of effort (measured in payoff units) that is divided equally among all players who choose to Work and this is subtracted from their payoff. If they both Shirk,...

4. Leo just got a job at a consulting firm. He is happy that he's got a job, but does not really feel like working too hard. His supervisor Arnold is well aware of that fact. Arnold can either come in to control what Leo is doing or enjoy another coffee break. Leo on the other hand can either shirk openly, pretend to work, or work for real. Leo likes to shirk, hates to pretend to work, and is okay...

Q: What inference do you think the author might draw from a
decision by the publisher to pay an advance? What strategy—work
hard or not—do you think the author would then adopt? What are the
implications for the publisher? Is there a sense in which the
publisher, in deciding to pay an advance, is sending a signal to
the author? Is sending this signal a good idea?
