a) If Alice chooses not buy‚ best response of Caterpillar is to choose bad. And if Caterpillar chooses bad‚ best response of Alice is to choose not buy. Therefore‚ pure strategy Nash equilibria is bottom right corner. Not buy from Alice and bad from Caterpillar. b) No‚ there isn’t a trigger strategy that induces buy/good for 10 periods. If this was infinitely repeated interaction‚ δ would equal to 1/3‚ computed from trigger condition Equation. Using the same tools‚ we derive following
