Question 5 (15 pts): Assume two companies A and B compete on the same market and face a technology adoption game. Both companies simultaneously decide about whether to adopt a new technology or not. a) Assume the following normal form representation: where x and y are unknown values. a1) Briefly explain what a strictly dominant strategy is. (1-3 sentences expected.) a2) For which values of x and y is adopt a strictly dominant strategy for company A ? b) Now assume x=3 and y=2, i.e., the normal form representation of the game is as follows: b1) Derive all Nash equilibria in pure strategies. b2) Derive the Nash equilibrium in mixed strategies. Explain your analysis and provide some intermediate steps of calculation. Question 5 (15 pts): Assume two companies A and B compete on the same market and face a technology adoption game.
