  1. 2. Static Games with Complete Information 2.4 SMGs with Mixed Strategies – Non-zero sum games • In section 2.3, we studied the zero-sum games thathas no NE with pure strategies but found a NE under mixed strategies. • In this section, we study the Nonzero-sum games (NZSG) with multiple NEs under mixed strategies. • With multiple NEs, we can narrow down what would happen using the focal point. • In NZSG, there is no reason to make other player guessing what strategies I will take. • Thus, we will consider several issues associated with this.

  2. 2. Static Games with Complete Information 2.4 SMGs with Mixed Strategies – Non-zero sum games 2.4.1 MixingSustained by Uncertain Beliefs • Mixing strategies occurs because when a player chooses a strategy, she is unsure about what the other is choosing. This uncertainty makes her unsure about her own choice. • Ex)The meeting game of JD and JP • However, we will learn that when each player has correct beliefs on the other’s uncertain action, the game may have an equilibrium.

  3. 2. Static Games with Complete Information 2.4 SMGs with Mixed Strategies – Non-zero sum games 2.4.1 MixingSustained by Uncertain Beliefs A. Will JP Meet JD? • The meeting game (Both have friends in CE, thus they prefer to meet at CALES) is an example of the assurance game. If JD is certain that JP goes to CE, she has to stay at CE. If she is certain that JP stays CALES, she has to go to CALES. (click for NE) • However, she is NOT certain (go to CE or CALES?). What to do? Thus, we need to think deeper about JD’s uncertainty (on where to go). This kind of uncertainty is called ‘subjective uncertainty.’

  4. 2. Static Games with Complete Information 2.4 SMGs with Mixed Strategies – Non-zero sum games 2.4.1 MixingSustained by Uncertain Beliefs A. Will JP Meet JD? (cont’d) • From JD’s subjective judgment, she thinks that the probability of JP going to CE (in JD’s mind; subjective) is p. Or she thinks that the prob. of JP going to CALES is (1- p). JD thinks JP uses p-mix. • The prob. of JD staying at CE (in JP’s mind) is q. In this case, the payoffs are as follows. BR? q 1- q p 1- p

(Click) Upper envelope. Cross point? p=2(1-p)  p=2/3; JD goes to CALES if p <2/3, to CE if p > 2/3. • JD goes to CALES if the prob. JP goes to CE is smaller than 2/3.

Cross point? q=2(1-q) q=2/3 JP’s payoff *JD가 CE로 갈 확률이 2/3보다 크면 JP는 CE로 간다 1 2 JD가 CE에 있을 확률이 2/3보다 크면, JP goes to CE p=1 JP stays at CALES JP’s payoff against JD’s q-mix when JP goes to CALES =0*q+2*(1-q)=2-2q JD’sq-mix 2/3 1 JP goes to CE JD가 CE에 있을 확률이 2/3보다 낮으면, JP stays at CALES p=(prob.

  7. 2. Static Games with Complete Information 2.4 SMGs with Mixed Strategies – Non-zero sum games 2.4.1 MixingSustained by Uncertain Beliefs A. Will JP Meet JD? (cont’d) JD goes to CE BUT JP goes to CALES JD goes to CE AND JP goes to CE, Payoff=(1,1) • NE? 3 NEs. • When solving using mixed strategy, 2 NEs under pure strategy are found as well. • 2 pure strategy NE of (p=0,q=0); meeting at CALES(both are sure that both go to CALES; self-sustaining state) and (p=1,q=1); meeting at CE • 1 mixed strategy NE of (2/3, 2/3); both are not sure. But why should both go to CE more often (p=q=2/3) when payoffs are smaller [(1,1) for meeting at CE compared to (2,2) for meeting at CALES] for both? This is counter-intuitive???. 1  NE with Mixed Strategy⊃NE with Pure Strategy JP’s BR JD’sq-mix 2/3 JD’s BR 2/3 JP’sp-mix 1 0 JD goes to CALES BUT JP goes to CE JD goes to CALES AND JP goes to CALES Payoff=(2,2)

  8. 2. Static Games with Complete Information 2.4 SMGs with Mixed Strategies – Non-zero sum games 2.4.1 MixingSustained by Uncertain Beliefs A. Will JP Meet JD? (cont’d) Meeting at CE Payoff = (1, 1) • Thus, a careful interpretation is needed. • The mixed strategy NE of (2/3, 2/3) should be interpreted as the following. • If each (subjectively) believes that the prob. for the other to go to CE is lower than 2/3, both go to CALES. • If each believes that the prob. for the other to go to CE is higher than 2/3, both go to CE. • 2/3 is the MIN prob. that allows for both to go to CE. 1 CE에서 만날 확률= 1/9 2/9 JP’s BR JD’sq-mix 2/3 4/9 = CALES에서 만날 확률 2/9 JD’s BR 1 2/3 0 JP’sp-mix Meeting at CALES Payoff = (2, 2)  JD and JP will go to CE when the prob. is at least 2/3 or greater b/c payoffs are smaller. 5-8-19

  9. 2. Static Games with Complete Information 2.4 SMGs with Mixed Strategies – Non-zero sum games 2.4.1 MixingSustained by Uncertain Beliefs A. Will JP Meet JD? (cont’d) • When both are playing mixed strategies, πJP= p*q+(1-p)*2*(1-q) πJD= p*q+(1-p)*2*(1-q) ∂πJP/ ∂p = q+2(1-q)(-1)=0.  q=2/3 ∂πJD/ ∂q = p+2(1-p)(-1)=0.  p=2/3 • Therefore, the expected payoffs, E(·), from NE are equal.  This is how you maximize your E(·). E(πJP)= 2/3*2/3+(1-2/3)*2*(1-2/3)= 4/9+2/9=6/9=2/3 E(πJD)= 2/3*2/3+(1-2/3)*2*(1-2/3)= 4/9+2/9=6/9=2/3 • What if they play (if p<2/3, say, p=1/3, q=1/3)? E(πJP)= 1/3*1/3+(1-1/3)*2*(1-1/3)= 1/9+8/9=9/9=3/3? E(πJP)= 1/3*1/3+(1-1/3)*2*(1-1/3)= 1/9+8/9=9/9=3/3?  Expected Payoffs are Bigger!!??

  10. 2. Static Games with Complete Information 2.4 SMGs with Mixed Strategies – Non-zero sum games 2.4.1 MixingSustained by Uncertain Beliefs A. Will JP Meet JD? (cont’d) • Expected payoffs are bigger. But can they do this? NO. If JP plays p=1/3, JD plays q=0(JP goes to CALES more oftenJD goes to CALES), then JP plays p=0. In this case their payoffs are; E(πJP)= 0*0+(1-0)*2*(1-0)= 2 E(πJD)= 0*0+(1-0)*2*(1-0)= 2 • This is a pure strategy NE, not a random strategy NE. How about p>2/3? Then q=1, then p=1. E(πJP)= 1*1+(1-1)*2*(1-1)= 1 E(πJD)= 1*1+(1-1)*2*(1-1)= 1 • This is another pure strategy NE, not a random strategy.

(cont’d) p,q  1: CE로 간다 1 • In the figure on the right, if one plays other than 2/3, they will end up with pure strategies. • 결론 1: 계속 반복되면, 5/9의 확률로 만나고, 4/9는 CALES에서, 1/9은 CE에서 만남. • 결론 2: 2배 보상 높은 곳에서 만나는 경우 보상(4/9)이가 4(1/9*4)배 더 많음 • 결론 3: 순수전략의 경우보다 훨씬 더 정교한 예측가능 JP CALES로 가고, JD CE로 갈 확률 =2/9 둘 다 CE로갈 확률 = 1/9 JD’sq-mix 2/3 둘 다 CALES로 갈 확률 =4/9 JP CE로 가고, JD CALES로 갈 확률 =2/9 0 1 2/3 JP’sp-mix p,q  0: CE로 안간다 =CALES로 간다

(cont’d) • Exercise 1: What if the payoffs meeting at CALES are three times bigger? • Answer: Two pure strategies NE + 1 random strategy NE of p=q=3/4. CALES에서 만날 확률 9/16, CE에서 1/16, 못 만날 확률 6/16 • 3배 보상이 높은 곳에서 만나는 경우가 9(3^2)배

(cont’d) • Exercise 2: What if the payoffs are not symmetric? (JD gets twice more payoff than JP, butboth get 2 times higher payoffs) • Answer: Two pure strategies NE + 1 random strategy NE of p=q=2/3

  14. 2. Static Games with Complete Information 2.4 SMGs with Mixed Strategies – Non-zero sum games 2.4.1 MixingSustained by Uncertain Beliefs A. Will JP Meet JD? (cont’d) • Exercise 3: What if the payoffs are not symmetric? (JD gets the same payoffs) • Answer: Two pure strategies NE + 1 random strategy NE of p=1/2, q=2/3. • 만날 확률 6/12, CALES에서 4/12(JD 보상↑), CE에서 2/12 • 못 만날 확률 6/12, • JP CE로 가고 JD CALES로 가는 확률 4/12 (JD 보상높은 쪽) • JP CALES로 가고 JD CE로 가는 확률 2/12 (JD 보상 낮은 쪽)
