Consider the following two-period repeated game. The stage game is the following:
| payoff | S | H | C |
| S | 3,3 | 0,1 | 0,0 |
| H | 1,0 | 1,1 | 6,0 |
| C | 0,0 | 0,6 | 5,5 |
(a) Find all pure-strategy Nash equilibria if the stage game is played only once.
(b) Now consider the two-period game. Suppose the discount factor δ = 1 for both players. Find a subgame perfect equilibrium in which each player receives a total payoff of at least 8.
(c) For what other values of the discount factor δ, will the strategies described in part (b) still be subgame perfect equilibrium?
