Consider the Tragedy of the Commons game from the chapter with two shepherds, A and B, where sA and sB denote the number of sheep each grazes on the common pasture. Assume that the benefit per sheep (in terms of mutton and wool) equal

Assume the (total and marginal) cost of grazing sheep is zero since the common can be freely used.
a. Compute the flock sizes and shepherds’ total benefits in the Nash equilibrium.
b. Draw the best-response-function diagram corresponding to your solution.
c. Suppose A’s benefit per sheep rises to 330 sA sB. Compute the new Nash equilibrium flock sizes. Show the change from the original to the new Nash equilibrium in your best-responsefunction diagram. C
