Problem 3: More Players and Extensive Form [9 Points]
Suppose that three players (A, B, and C) are playing a game. These three players are choosing
which of them has to mow the lawn. Player A and Player B will vote for who has to mow the lawn.
The game goes like this: Player A and Player B both play simultaneously. Player A gets to choose
a Player, so Player A, Player B, or Player C. Player B also gets to choose a Player, so Player A,
Player B, or Player C. Player C then gets to observe the choices that Player A and Player B chose,
and then gets to choose a Player, so Player A, Player B, or Player C.
The player with the most votes has to mow the lawn. Whichever player gets the most votes has
to mow the lawn, and receives a payoff of -10. If you do not have to mow the lawn, then you
receive a payoff of +1, enjoying the smell of fresh-cut grass without doing any of the work.
If the vote is a tie, then the lawn is not mowed, and everybody receives a payoff of zero.
7. Draw this game in Extensive Form. Include the payoffs each player receives, the strategies
they might choose, and show every point that is an information node. [3 points]
8. Shrink this game tree as much as you can through backwards induction. [1 point]
For Q9 and Q10, change the game in 1 way. Now all three players move simultaneously, so Player
C does not get to observe the choices of Players A and B before making their choice.
9. Draw this full game in Matrix Form. [3 points]
10. What are the Pure Strategy Nash Equilibria in this game? [2 points]
