A three-person committee has to choose a winner for a national art prize. After some debate, there are three candidates still un

der consideration: a woman who draws antelope in urban set- tings, a man who makes rectangular lead boxes, and a woman who sculpts charcoal. Letâs call these candidates a, b and c; and call the committee members 1, 2 and 3. The preferences of the committee members are as follows:
O member 1 prefers a to b and b to c;
O member 2 prefers c to a and a to b;
O and member 3 prefers b to c and c to a.
The rules of the competition say that, if they disagree, they should vote (secret ballot, one member one vote) and that, if and only if the vote is tied, the winner will be the candidate for whom member 1 voted. Thus, it might seem that member 1 has an advantage.
(a) Consider this voting game. Each voter has three strategies: a, b, or c. For each voter, which strategies are weakly or strictly dominated? [Hints. Be especially careful in the case of voter 1. To answer this question, you do not need to know the exact payoffs: any payoffs will do provided that they are consistent with the preference orders given above. To answer this question, you do not have to write out matrices].(b) Now consider the reduced game in which all weakly and strictly dominated strategies have been removed. For each voter, which strategies are now weakly or strictly dominated? What is the predicted outcome of the vote? Compare this outcome to voter 1âs preferences and comment.

Explanation:

The preference committee members are as follows:

Member 1 prefers a to b and b to c

Member 2 prefers c to a and a to b

Member 3 prefers b to c and c to a

The order of this problem can be solved:

Preference for 1, 2 and 3 are as below:

1. a then b then c

2. c then a then b

3. b then c then

Member 1 knowing advantage , will always disagree with 2 and 3 so that he can win when it comes to vote

So, 2 and 3 in order to win , will have to cooperate with each other.

As we can see that the least suitable option according to Member 2 and Member 3 are b and a respectively. Therefore they would not consider supporting either b or a.

So the possible option of Member 2 and Member 3 supporting will be C.

Therefore both 2 and 3 will agree on C.

The predicted outcome of the game is C.
