What can they do?Outcomes: for each possible set of actions by the layers, which is the outcome of the gamePayoffs: what are the players preferences over the possible outcome?,6,St
4、rategy & Payoffs,博弈论把人间一切竞争活动看成是玩策略游戏。这种策略游戏是在一定的游戏规则之下进行它的两个最基本的概念是策略与支付矩阵一种策略(Strategy)表示游戏参与者的一套运作计划和手段。如“降价15%”就是一种策略收益矩阵(Payoff matrix)是表示游戏参与者在各种不同策略下的利润额的一套支付表格寡头垄断,尤其是双寡头垄断竞争,特别适合使用博弈论研究,7,Strategy & Payoffs,Prisoners Dilemma(囚犯两难)两个嫌犯被捕并受到指控,但除非至少一人招供犯罪,警方并无充分证据将其按罪判刑警方将他们分开审讯(不能沟通),并对他们说明不
5、同行动带来的后果。如果二人都不坦白,只能判简单刑事罪,坐牢1个月如果二人都坦白,两人都会定罪,判刑六个月;如果其中一个坦白,另一个不坦白;那么坦白者马上释放(从宽)、不坦白者将会判刑九个月。请问两个嫌犯该怎么办?,8,Strategy & Payoffs,Prisoners Dilemma(囚犯两难)策略(Strategy): “沉默” & “招认”收益矩阵(Payoff Matrix)如下:,9,Strategy & Payoffs,Prisoners Dilemma(囚犯两难)囚犯两难的问题在现实中常常出现。比如两家企业的价格战。,10,Strategy & Payoffs,性别战博弈 (

7、 disk drives are compatible. Strategies: “Large” or “Small” Payoffs are as follows.,13,Strategy & Payoffs,Other Examples Coordination games: payoff matrix,14,Dominant Strategies (支配策略),We say a player has a dominant strategy if it is the strictly best response to any strategies the other players mig
8、ht pick.In the analysis of any game, the first step is to determine if any player has a dominant strategy. If such a strategy exists, then the outcome of the game should be easily determined, since the player will use the dominant strategy and other players will subsequently adopt their best respons
9、es. Examples: Does the Prisoners Dilemma have any dominant strategy? How about the Coordination Game?,15,Dominated Strategies (被支配策略),A dominated strategy is an alternative that yields a lower payoff than some other strategy, no matter what the other players in the game do. A rational player will ne
10、ver use a dominated strategy in the actual action of game playing. Hence it can be eliminated. It is clear that if the existence of a dominant strategy implies that all other choices are in fact the dominated strategies. But it is possible that there are dominated strategies, while there is no domin
11、ant strategy,16,Application: Iterative Eliminations,Example,17,Nash Equilibrium (纳什均衡),Even though using a dominant strategy or a dominated strategy is a powerful simple way of “solving” a game, this kind of game is usually an exception, instead of a norm. We must have a generic method of finding th
12、e solution(s) of a game. Solution ConceptsNash Equilibrium is the very first solution concept for non-cooperative games.,18,Nash Equilibrium (纳什均衡),Essence of Nash EquilibriumA Nash Equilibrium is defined as a set of strategies such that non of the participants in the game can improve their payoff,
13、given the strategies of the other participants.No one has a strictly incentive to deviate from the strategies in a Nash Equilibrium.,19,Nash Equilibrium (纳什均衡),Example Consider the following game. Is there any dominant or dominated strategy?,20,Nash Equilibrium (纳什均衡),Problem of Nash Equilibrium: Mu
14、ltiple solutions! Examples: Battle of Sex Coordination Game,21,Nash Equilibrium (纳什均衡),Problem of Nash Equilibrium:Insensitive to extreme payoffs (risks) Example: Dangerous Coordination Game,In Practice, it is almost sure that Smith wants to “play safe” and never try “large”!,22,Nash Equilibrium (纳什
15、均衡),Problem of Nash Equilibrium:Non-existence of pure strategy Nash EquilibriumExample: Match the PenniesNo dominant strategy, no dominated strategy & no pure strategy Nash equilibrium as well!,23,Nash Equilibrium (纳什均衡),Mixed Strategies (混合策略)A mixed strategy is a profile that specifies the probabi
16、lity of each pure strategy that is to be played. Nash Theorem: For any game with finite number of pure strategies, there always exists a Nash Equilibrium in mixed strategy form.,24,Nash Equilibrium (纳什均衡),Mixed Strategies (混合策略): ExamplesCoordination GameJones plays (Large, Small) according to (p, 1
17、-p)Smiths expected payoffs are: “Large”: 2p+(-1)(1-p) = US(L |(p, 1-p)“Small”: (-1)p+1(1-p) = US(S |(p, 1-p) Smith should be “indifferent” between the two choices US(L |(p, 1-p) = US(S |(p, 1-p) p = 2/5 Hence Jones optimal mixed strategy must be (0.4, 0.6)Exercise: find the optimal mixed strategy fo

The players each start with 1 dollar in front of them. They altern
19、ate saying stop or continue, starting with player 1. When a player says continue, 1 dollar is taken by a referee from her pile and 2 dollars are put in her opponents pile. As soon as either player says stop, ply is terminated, and each player receives the money currently in her pile. Alternatively,
20、play stops if both players piles reach 100 dollars.,28,Player 1,Player 2,Player 1,Player 2,Player 1,Player 2,S,C,C,C,C,C,C,S,S,S,S,S,11,03,22,97100,9999,98101,100,100,29,Maxmin Strategies (最大最小策略),When each player in the game will select the option that maximizes the minimum possible profit (or othe
21、r desirable outcome), we say that the decision rule is a maxmin strategy. This may happen in situations when the market is highly competitive and decision makers are risk averse. So this is a useful case for managerial decision making.,30,31,迄今为止,对市场结构分析都以假定管理决策的中心是谋求最大利益。但是在如垄断寡头那样竞争十分激烈的场合,决策者可能采取
22、一种风险厌恶政策,即确保在可能的最坏结果中得到最好的结果。也就是每个博弈者将在可能最少的利润方案中选择利润最大的方案。,32,(续)Nash 均衡为 (3,6) 和(6,3),企业1 最小32,企业2 最小 3 2,结果: 双方都没有新产品推出 在这个例子中,Nash 不是小中取大解!,33,Maxmin Strategies (最大最小策略),Another example:,34,Sequential Game (顺序性博弈),顺序性博弈:先下弈的优势 (First-mover Advantage)迄今为止,我们都隐含假定双方下弈者都是同时实施。在顺序(Sequential game)中,
23、就是有先有后了。进入新的市场就是一个顺序博弈的例子。,35,36,37,38,39,Strategic Behavior: Barriers of Entry,Four traditional barriers to entry (passive)Economies of scale, product differentiation, control over scare resources, and legal factors Market Entry Decision (Entry Game) (aggressive)Present vs. Future Profits: Entry-Li
24、miting PricingMain ideas: Motivation: short-run Monopoly pricing practice earns “too much profits”, hence attract new entrants that will eat up the market share and drive down the prices in the long run Entry-Limit Pricing: need to set a price below the short-run monopoly price (Fig 11-1, p. 293)Fig

29、g firms in a position to expand their production as relatively low cost. The existence of excess capacity provides a strong signal that the established firms can (and probably will) reduce prices as a strategic response to entry in their market.,43,Strategic Behavior: Barriers of Entry,Preemptive Ac
30、tion: Market Saturation (先发制人:使市场饱和)One entry-deterring strategy for the existing firm would be to disperse its production facilities. By the existing firm spreading its plants throughout the market area (the analysis of geographic saturation can also be applied to product characteristics) the opportunity for the new entrant to take advantage of high transportation costs is greatly reduced.
