cut no longer works in tables!
I rebuilt from cvs yesterday. It seems that when selecting multiple cells in a table (mine was 5x4 with 1 digit numbers), it is no longer possible to clear the table with "cut". hawk -- Richard E.

the other is holding to the agreement.

Notice that the numbers are all negative--a jail sentence is worse than
nothing, and has negative value.

To determine which pair of payoffs to use, look at each player's actions--if
Larry cooperates and Moe defects, chose the first row (C) and the second
column (D) for a payoff of (-60,0), meaning that since Larry kept his mouth
shut while Moe ratted him out, Larry does five years while Moe walks.

Predicting the Outcome of the Game
\layout Standard
Both players must choose their moves without knowing the other's move.
Nonetheless, if Larry and Moe are bright enough, we can predict what will
happen in this game.
Look at the game first from Larry's perspective.
If Moe cooperates, keeping his mouth shut, what is the best thing for Larry
to do? If Larry cooperates, he'll do six months, but he'll walk if he defects
by ratting out Moe.
Larry is clearly better off defecting if Moe cooperates.
Now consider what happens to Larry if Moe defects.
If Larry defects as well, he does two years--which increases to five if
he cooperates.
\layout Standard
No matter what Moe does, Larry's best result comes when he defects, and
Larry should defect.
Moe faces the same choices, and we conclude that Moe will also

Actually, I've used the raw lyx format on a number of occasions. vim can make formatting changes to the file that would otherwise be awkward. At times, it's been my way out when a format changed across versions of lyx. And most importantly, when I was stranded for two days with an old copy of my dissertation and a deadline looming, I was able to make the changes, and use diff and patch to modify the current file on my desktop.

The Story
\layout Standard
Larry and Moe have successfully robbed the bank while well disguised.
District Attorney Curley knows this, but can't prove it--but he can prove
a minor assault charge for the two of them.
Larry and Moe, like all good crooks, have agreed not to rat on one another
if caught, but they've been put in separate cells and can't tell whether
the other is holding to the agreement.
\layout Standard
Curly makes an offer to the prisoners: Defect from your criminal enterprise
(thus the

confess, it's two years.
If you don't confess and your partner does, it's five years.
If neither confesses, they will both be locked up for six months for assault.

\layout Standard
Game theory can be quite useful in understanding economics.
It does not seek to explain the games we play for entertainment, but to
express decisions by multiple agents in the form of a game, modeling decisions

he Prisoners' Dilemma
\layout Standard
Before considering games in general, let's consider the most popular game
of all, the prisoners' dilemma, as seen in Figure
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{pd1}
\end_inset
.
This table may not have any immediate and obvious meaning, but it conveys
several types of information to those who can read it.
On the other hand, without a story to accompany it, it means absolutely
nothing.

\layout Subsection
The Story
\layout Standard
Larry and Moe have successfully robbed the bank while well disguised.
District Attorney Curley knows this, but can't prove it--but he can prove
a minor assault charge for the two of them.
Larry and Moe, like all good crooks, have agreed not to rat on one another
if caught, but they've been put in separate cells and can't tell whetehr
theother is holding to the agreement.
\layout Standard
Curly makes an offer to the prisoners: Defect from your criminal enterprise
(thus the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
D
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in the chart), by ratting on the other, and get a better sentence.
If you confess, and the other doesn't, you can go free, but if you both
confess, it's two years.
If you don't confess and your partner does, it's five years.
If neither confesses, they will both be locked up for six months for assault.
\layout Subsection
Relating the Story to the Chart
\layout Standard
If you look at the numbers from the sentences, you will see that in Figure
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{pd1}
\end_inset
, the negative numbers are the sentence lengths in months.
In each pair of numbers, the first is the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
payoff
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
to the player on the left, or what he receives, and the second is the payoff
for the player on the top.
Notice that the numbers are all negative--a jail sentence is worse than
nothing, and has negative value.
\layout Standard
To determine which pair of payoffs to use, look at each player's actions--if
Larry cooperates and Moe defects, chose the first row (C) and the second
column (D) for a payoff of (-60,0), meaning that since Larry kept his mouth
shut while Moe ratted him out, Larry does five years while Moe walks.
\layout Subsection
Predicting the Outcome of the Game
\layout Standard
Both players must choose their moves without knowing the other's move.
Nonetheless, if Larry and Moe are bright enough, we can predict what will
happen in this game.
Look at the game first from Larry's perspective.
If Moe cooperates, keeping his mouth shut, what is the best thing for Larry
to do? If Larry cooperates, he'll do six months, but he'll walk if he defects
by ratting out Moe.
Larry is clearly better off defecting if Moe cooperates.
Now consider what happens to Larry if Moe defects.
If Larry defects as well, he does two years--which increases to five if
he cooperates.
\layout Standard
No matter what Moe does, Larry's best result comes when he defects, and
Larry should defect.
Moe faces the same choices, and we conclude that Moe will also defect.
We predict that if both players in this game are rational, they will both

Game Theory II
\layout Date
January 21, 2000c
\layout Author
Richard E.
Hawkins
\layout Standard
Game theory can be quite useful in understanding economics.
It does not seek to explain the games we play for entertainment, but to
express decisions by multiple agents in the form of a game, modeling decisions

he Prisoners' Dilemma
\layout Standard
Before considering games in general, let's consider the most popular game
of all, the prisoners' dilemma, as seen in Figure
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{pd1}
\end_inset
.
This table may not have any immediate and obvious meaning, but it conveys
several types of information to those who can read it.
On the other hand, without a story to accompany it, it means absolutely
nothing.

\layout Subsection
The Story
\layout Standard
Larry and Moe have successfully robbed the bank while well disguised.
District Attorney Curley knows this, but can't prove it--but he can prove
a minor assault charge for the two of them.
Larry and Moe, like all good crooks, have agreed not to rat on one another
if caught, but they've been put in separate cells and can't tell whetehr
theother is holding to the agreement.
\layout Standard
Curly makes an offer to the prisoners: Defect from your criminal enterprise
(thus the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
D
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in the chart), by ratting on the other, and get a better sentence.
If you confess, and the other doesn't, you can go free, but if you both
confess, it's two years.
If you don't confess and your partner does, it's five years.
If neither confesses, they will both be locked up for six months for assault.
\layout Subsection
Relating the Story to the Chart
\layout Standard
If you look at the numbers from the sentences, you will see that in Figure
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{pd1}
\end_inset
, the negative numbers are the sentence lengths in months.
In each pair of numbers, the first is the
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
payoff
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
to the player on the left, or what he receives, and the second is the payoff
for the player on the top.
Notice that the numbers are all negative--a jail sentence is worse than
nothing, and has negative value.
\layout Standard
To determine which pair of payoffs to use, look at each player's actions--if
Larry cooperates and Moe defects, chose the first row (C) and the second
column (D) for a payoff of (-60,0), meaning that since Larry kept his mouth
shut while Moe ratted him out, Larry does five years while Moe walks.
\layout Subsection
Predicting the Outcome of the Game
\layout Standard
Both players must choose their moves without knowing the other's move.
Nonetheless, if Larry and Moe are bright enough, we can predict what will
happen in this game.
Look at the game first from Larry's perspective.
If Moe cooperates, keeping his mouth shut, what is the best thing for Larry
to do? If Larry cooperates, he'll do six months, but he'll walk if he defects
by ratting out Moe.
Larry is clearly better off defecting if Moe cooperates.
Now consider what happens to Larry if Moe defects.
If Larry defects as well, he does two years--which increases to five if
he cooperates.
\layout Standard
No matter what Moe does, Larry's best result comes when he defects, and
Larry should defect.
Moe faces the same choices, and we conclude that Moe will also defect.
We predict that if both players in this game are rational, they will both

displays the first element as 5, continuing the count from the previous

Course Description and Goals
\layout Standard
Economics is the study of choices.
Particularly, we study choices in the face of scarcity, where something
else is given up as a consequence of a choice (such as lost income when
going to school).
We consider how consumers and producers make such choices, and how these
determine price and quantity as seen in the market.
We will also consider what happens when the government or other agents
interfere with the normal process of making choices.
\layout Standard
By the time you finish this course, you will understand the processes that
are commonly known as supply and demand, as well as common fallacies about
them.
You will be able to apply these to the real world, and understand what
is going on behind the scenes when economic news is reported--and recognize
that it is frequently misreported!
\layout Section*
Course Objectives
\layout Standard
A wide variety of topics will be covered, but you should be able to find
common things throughout them.

enumeration miscount
As I rewrite my syllabus, I find a display error in lyx. In the
attached document, the enumeration under "Course Methods and Learning"
displays the first element as 5, continuing the count from the previous
enumeration. The postscript output is correct.
