The total time for your examination from the scheduled starting time will be:

2 hours 10 minutes including 10 minutes reading time..

A 15-minute submission period is available for submitting your examination. If your
examination is submitted after this period late penalties will be applied unless you can
demonstrate that there were problems with the system and/or process that were
beyond your control.

period that it is available.

 If it is found that you have given or sought outside assistance with this
examination, then that will be deemed to be cheating.

If you submit your online exam after the end of your specified reading time, duration,
and 15 minutes submission time, the following penalties will be applied to the total
mark available for the assessment:

 Less than 5 minutes – 5% penalty

 From 5 minutes to less than 15 minutes – 20% penalty

 More than 15 minutes – 100% penalty

These penalties will be applied to all online exams unless there is sufficient
evidence of problems with the system and/or process that were beyond your

Semester One Final Examinations, 2021 ECON2070 Introduction to Strategic Thinking

ECON2070 INTRODUCTION TO STRATEGIC THINKING

FINAL EXAMINATION

Section A – Short Questions: Answer all two (2) questions in this section. (Total marks: 30)

Question A1. (15 marks) Find ALL subgame perfect equilibria of the following extensive form

game with perfect information. Show your work. [For any payoff pair (x, y), x is the payoff of player

1 and y is the payoff of player 2.]

(4, 4) (2, 5) (1, 6) (3, 1) (1, 2) (3, 0) (7, 1)

Question A2. (15 marks) Consider the following claim: ”In every extensive form game with perfect

information, every subgame perfect equilibrium is Pareto optimal (efficient).” Is this claim true or

false? If it is true, then provide a proof. Otherwise provide a counterexample.

Section B – Problem Solving: Answer all three (3) questions in this section. (Total marks: 70)

Question B1. (25 marks) Alice and Bob work on a joint project. The project can either be difficult

or easy, which Bob observes before making his choice. Alice, however, only knows that the project

is difficult with 0.5 probability and is easy with 0.5 probability. Alice and Bob simultaneously decide

whether to exert high effort or not. The cost of low effort is zero and the cost of high effort is 1 for

each player. The utility of each player depends on whether the project is successful or not: if the

project is successful, each player gets a benefit of 2 before subtracting his/her cost of effort. If the

project is unsuccessful, each player gets zero before subtracting his/her cost of effort. If the project

is difficult, the project is successful if and only if both agents exert high effort (in other words, it is

unsuccessful if at least one agent exerts low effort). If the project is easy, the project is successful

if at least one agent exerts high effort (in other words, it is unsuccessful if and only if both agents

exert low effort).

(a) Model this problem as a Bayesian game. In your answer provide the payoff matrices.

(b) Solve for all Bayesian-Nash equilibria of this game (in pure and mixed strategies).

(17 marks)

Question B2. (20 marks) Find ALL separating perfect Bayesian equilibria of the following extensive

form game with imperfect information.

Question B3. (25 marks) Consider the following two-period game. There are two agents. In period

1, the players play the following prisoner’s dilemma game:

In period 2, each player observes the actions chosen in period 1 and play the following battle of the

sexes game:

Each agent’s overall payoff is the sum of his/her payoffs from the two periods. Is there a subgame

perfect equilibrium of this game such that both players play C in the first period? If yes, identify

such an equilibrium strategy, and show that it is indeed an equilibrium strategy. If no, explain your

Assumptions Question (no marks):

Specify any assumptions you have made in completing the exam and to which questions those

assumptions relate. You may also include queries you may have made with respect to a particular

question, should you have been able to ’raise your hand’ in an examination room.
