Equilibrium with an Altruistic Anil and a Self-Interested Bala
When one player is altruistic and the other is self-interested, their strategies diverge. If Anil is altruistic, his dominant strategy becomes IPC. However, if Bala remains self-interested, his dominant strategy is still T. This combination of preferences leads to a dominant strategy equilibrium of (I, T). In this outcome, Bala benefits from a high payoff of 4, while Anil willingly accepts a low monetary payoff of 1, effectively bearing the cost of Bala's self-interested action.

Equilibrium with an Altruistic Anil and a Self-Interested Bala
Strategic Decisions with Social Preferences
Consider a two-player game with the following material payoffs, where the first number in each pair is the payoff for Player A and the second is for Player B:
Player B: Strategy X Player B: Strategy Y Player A: Strategy X (3, 3) (1, 4) Player A: Strategy Y (4, 1) (2, 2) Assume Player A is entirely self-interested and seeks only to maximize their own material payoff. Player B, however, is altruistic and makes decisions to maximize the sum of both players' payoffs. Given these preferences, what is the most likely outcome of the game?
The Impact of Altruism on Strategic Outcomes
Two individuals, Player 1 and Player 2, must independently decide whether to make a 'Cooperative' choice or a 'Self-Interested' choice. A Cooperative choice benefits the other player at a small cost to oneself, while a Self-Interested choice benefits oneself at a larger cost to the other player. The final outcome depends on the combination of their personal preferences (how much they care about the other's payoff). Match each description of the players' preferences to the most likely strategic outcome.
In a two-player game where each player's payoff depends on the choices of both, a shift in Player A's preferences from pure self-interest to altruism will not change the optimal strategy for a purely self-interested Player B.
Analyzing Strategic Shifts Due to Altruism
Consider a scenario with two players, Alex and Ben, who must each choose between two actions: 'Cooperate' or 'Defect'. The material payoffs for each player depend on the combination of actions chosen. Alex is known to be purely self-interested, always choosing the action that maximizes their own material payoff. Ben is altruistic, meaning they care about both their own payoff and Alex's payoff.
Under what circumstances will Ben choose to 'Cooperate' even if 'Defect' would yield a higher personal material payoff for Ben?
Calculating the Altruism Threshold
Altering Strategic Outcomes
Two business partners, Sarah and Tom, must independently decide whether to pursue a 'High-Risk' or 'Low-Risk' venture. The table below shows the potential profits (in thousands of dollars) for each partner based on their combined choices. The first number in each cell is Sarah's profit, and the second is Tom's.
Tom: High-Risk Tom: Low-Risk Sarah: High-Risk (10, 10) (0, 12) Sarah: Low-Risk (12, 0) (5, 5) Initially, both partners are purely self-interested, aiming only to maximize their own individual profit. An analyst makes the following claim: 'If Sarah's preferences change so that she becomes altruistic (meaning she now also values Tom's profit in addition to her own), the final strategic outcome of their decision will not change.'
Evaluate the analyst's claim.

Strategic Decision-Making with Different Motivations
Consider a one-time interaction between two individuals, Player A and Player B. The table below shows the monetary payoffs for each possible combination of choices (payoff for A, payoff for B). Player A is altruistic and cares about Player B's payoff in addition to their own. Player B is purely self-interested and only seeks to maximize their own monetary payoff. Based on these motivations, what is the most likely outcome of this interaction?
Player B: Cooperate Player B: Defect Player A: Cooperate (3, 3) (1, 4) Player A: Defect (4, 1) (2, 2) Explaining Equilibrium with Mixed Motivations
Consider a strategic interaction between two individuals. One individual is altruistic, meaning they care about the well-being of the other person in addition to their own. The second individual is purely self-interested, caring only about their own monetary gain. If the final outcome results in a low monetary payoff for the altruistic person and a high monetary payoff for the self-interested person, this outcome must be considered a failure or a mistake from the altruistic person's perspective.
Evaluating Outcomes with Mixed Social Preferences
Consider a one-time interaction between an altruistic player and a self-interested player. The table below shows the monetary payoffs for each possible combination of choices, with the altruistic player's payoff listed first. The altruistic player cares about the other player's payoff in addition to their own, while the self-interested player only cares about their own payoff. Match each concept to its correct description based on this scenario.
Self-Interested: Cooperate Self-Interested: Defect Altruistic: Cooperate (3, 3) (1, 4) Altruistic: Defect (4, 1) (2, 2) To predict the outcome of a one-shot strategic interaction between one purely self-interested player and one altruistic player, an economist would follow a logical sequence of analysis. Arrange the following steps into the correct order.
In a one-shot game between an altruistic player and a self-interested player, the dominant strategy equilibrium results in the altruistic player receiving a low monetary payoff while the self-interested player receives a high one. For the altruistic player, this outcome is not a mistake but a(n) ______ because their action maximized their total satisfaction, which accounts for the other player's gains.
Consider a one-time interaction between two farmers, A and B, who must choose a pesticide. Farmer A is altruistic, caring about both their own profit and Farmer B's profit. Farmer B is purely self-interested. The table below shows the monetary profits for each combination of choices (Profit for A, Profit for B).
Farmer B: Defect Farmer B: Cooperate Farmer A: Defect ($200, $200) ($400, $100) Farmer A: Cooperate ($100, $400) ($300, $300) Given that Farmer B will logically choose 'Defect' to maximize their own profit, which of the following statements best analyzes Farmer A's decision to choose 'Cooperate', resulting in the ($100, $400) outcome?
Evaluating Partnership Outcomes with Mixed Motivations
Consider a strategic interaction between two individuals. One individual is altruistic, meaning they care about the well-being of the other person in addition to their own. The second individual is purely self-interested, caring only about their own monetary gain. If the final outcome results in a low monetary payoff for the altruistic person and a high monetary payoff for the self-interested person, this outcome must be considered a failure or a mistake from the altruistic person's perspective.
