Game Theory Cont. -Rational Behaviors involve: - Complete information. - Preference Ranking- If A is preferred to B, and B is preferred to C, then A is preferred to C.- Choice: the highest payoff with the lease possible cost. - Strategic situation: the choice of one actor depends on the choices made by other actors. - There are 3 types of “games” - Extensive game: Players make their choices sequentially (topic 3)- Normal/strategic game: players make their choices simultaneously (topic 4) - Extensive form game has nodes: - Choice node: A point in this game at which a player must make an action. - Initial node: the place where the game begins.- Terminal node: where the game ends. - Branches: represent the actions that can be taken at choice nodes. - An important solution concept for games is a Nash equilibrium. - A Nash equilibrium is a set of strategies (one for each player) such that no player has an incentive to unilaterally switch to another strategy. - Games have rules about how decisions are made. The basic rule is that players choose to do what they believe is in their best interest. - Games can be represented by a game tree or by a payoff matrix. ***NOTE*** The following example is the exact same from the last lecture.

The following chart below is a representation of how the citizen may react. - Presumptions: The state starts with 1 (representing tax income). -Key: L = Loyal, E= Exit, V=Voice. 1 = taxes. C=Cost.
