Game Theory 101: Chain Store Paradox

[@yannbouteiller2764]

Thank you very much for this lecture series , I watched it entirely as a crash course and it was very useful!

[@rasmikarangarajan3231]

Really love your videos, glad I stumbled upon them. They are insanely useful and informative, yet concise! The International Relations 101 has helped me a lot!!:D

[@commaspace2196]

Yep just flipping to the last video to see where we're headed. Gonna return to safety now lol

[@Dagguh]

Amazing series! You're explaining it very well. Thank you! PS. 20:30 typo: u(quit) -> u(acq)

Thank you so much for the whole series, just watched it from start to end 🎉🎉

Well ladies and gentlemen, this is it. As of October 27th, 2021, this is the final video in the Game Theory 101 playlist/course. I'd like to say that I sincerely enjoyed all of the videos and my conversations with William and everyone else. Even though our comments were usually separated by vast amounts of time (and certainly by geography), I got the sense that I was part of a genuine, albeit small, community. I can't wait to explore the rest of William's stuff, but before I leave, I wanted to give a heartfelt goodbye and thank everyone with whom I interacted on this wonderful journey. Also, knock knock.

Who’s there? Nash. Nash who? (Or at least I think that’s where we were on this…)

[@PunmasterSTP]

​@@Gametheory101 I think you are right! At any rate, it was Nash to meet you (and finally finish this pun)!

[@yves-loic9141]

Thank you for preparing and sharing this very clear introduction to game theory!

[@fedek4187]

Thanks for all William this videos really help me!

May I ask when the series will be updated？

Hi there! Not sure if you check older video comments, but it's worth a shot. I wanted to ask: what do you use to draw extensive forms of games? Your drawings are always very tidy and are easy to understand, so if you use a convenient tool for drawing them, I feel like that could be useful when practicing or learning game theory.

[@Gametheory101]

It’s just PowerPoint!

[@PunmasterSTP]

@@Gametheory101 Oh wow that's awesome! Also, did you ever want to finish that knock knock joke? Knock knock. Who's there? Nash.

The first complete information game paradox doesn't hold up, as the chain store going to war to signal that it would go to war in the second town too is an uncredible threat. The store at that stage would have higher payoff acquiescing than going to war.

[@mesplin3]

Is this still game theory 101? It seems somewhat advanced. Like maybe game theory 102.

[@Gametheory101]

We are definitely beyond the simple stuff, but most semester-long classes finish with perfect Bayesian equilibrium. So we’re still technically in 101 territory! But not for long...

[@PunmasterSTP]

@@Gametheory101 That sounds like a perfect way to end things. 😎

[@BS33875]

why would the player's only goal only to maximize payoffs, wouldn't the goal to be maximize the losses for opponents?

Probably of comment = “First” is 9/9 only if all other views have comment =“First” of probability 0/10. Therefore, First

[@rmt3589]

This is insane! I've never heard of this stuff before. Honestly, I was looking for a MatPat video. Though I'm an entrepreneur and I'm gifted in math, so I had enough basis to keep up an understanding. Still, this is mind-blowing. Now I just need to gain a functioning knowledge and figure out how it can be implemented. How'd you learn all this?
