HOMEWORK POLICY:

I.                   You can discuss homework with other people (especiall with your classmates). However, you must write the answers to the homework questions alone, using your OWN WORDS. Copying and sharing homeworks will be penalized severly.

II.                If you submit your homework on time* you get 20% bonus, if you submit late* you receive 50% penalty, otherwise you get 0 points for that homework.

III.             On time* means you hand in the homework on the due date (or early) to the Professor (that’s me) at the start of the class.

IV.             Late* : Late homeworks can be submitted only to the TA (that’s Gül) at most within a week after the due date. After a week no late homeworks will be accepted.

UTI/UBI 553 Game Theory

HOMEWORK I

Due date: Oct. 10/11th, 2018

Note: This is a simple/short homework to get you warm to the Game Theory.

1. Two people go to a fish restaurant for dinner. They have two choices to order:

Expensive fish: value = 18, price = 20

Inexpensive fish: value = 12, price = 10

Total bill is shared equally. Assuming that each person has the same objective, to maximize

( his/her value - his/her payment).

Create the strategic form table of this two player game.

2. Solve the first problem for three people.
