The grade game
Imagine in this module we assign grades as follows
You are randomly paired with a partner (you do not know who!)
You have to write X or Y on the piece of paper
You will get a grade based on the following rules:
If both you and your partner write X, then you both get a B
If you write X and your partner writes Y then you get D and your partner gets A If you write Y and your partner writes X then you get A and your partner gets D
If both you and your partner write Y then you both get C

The grade game
What would you do?
What you get depends also on the choice of your partner. This is the blueprint of strategic interaction.
There is a poll on KEATS to find out …

Game theory
Game theory is a framework for analysing interactions between a set of agents. Abstract specification of interactions.
Describes each agent’s preferences in terms of their utility.
‚ Assumeagentswanttomaximiseutility.
Give us a range of solution strategies with which we can make some predictions
about how agents will/should interact.

Payoff Matrices
We can characterise the “choose side” scenario in a payoff matrix j
left right left
i
right
we have two agents, each player picking a (pure) strategy
Agent i is the row player
gets the lower reward in a cell.
Agent j is the column player gets the upper reward in a cell.

Payoff Matrices

Payoffs are the US grade points that correspond to the problem statement. From the game earlier: Grade A is 4, Grade B is 3 etc.

Outcomes
An outcome is what we get when we combine the actions of all the players. An outcome corresponds to an element of the payoff matrix
j
left right up
i
down
We identify outcomes by the moves the players make:
pwhat i plays, what j playsq Thus pup, rightq identifies the outcome in which
i plays up and j plays right

Payoff Matrices
Actually there are two matrices here, one (call it A) that specifies the payoff to i and another B that specifies the payoff to j.
jA
Sometimes we’ll write the payoff matrix as pA, Bq in recognition of this.
