Game Theory (Nash)Live

2×2 strategic games

Row player vs Column player

	Cooperate	Defect
Cooperate	3 3	0 5
Defect	5 0	1 1 Nash

cyan = row payoff · green = column payoff

Controls

A Nash equilibrium is a pair of strategies where neither player can do better by unilaterally changing — the cornerstone of game theory. In the Prisoner's Dilemma both defect even though cooperating pays more; Matching Pennies has no pure equilibrium at all. Highlighted cells are the pure-strategy Nash equilibria.

Governing equation

((3, 3) (5, 0) (0, 5) (1, 1)), u_{i} (s_{i}^{*}, s_{- i}) \geq u_{i} (s_{i}, s_{- i})

Reading this result: The lone equilibrium has both players defect, even though mutual cooperation pays more — individually rational, collectively worse.
