Suppose Jacques and Kyoko are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Jacques chooses Right and Kyoko chooses Right, Jacques will receive a payoff of 5 and Kyoko will receive a payoff of 3Kyoko Left Right 3,72,6 4,5 Left Jacques Right 3,8 The only dominant strategy in this game is for to choose The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Jacques chooses_and Kyoko chooses

Suppose a new "payment technology" allows individuals to make payments using u.s. treasury bonds (i.e., u.s. treasury bonds are immediately cashed when needed to make a payment and that balance is transferred to the payee). how do you think this payment technology would affect the transactions component of the demand for money? a. this would lead to a decreased need to hold cash for transactions; however, the transactions demand for money would remain unchanged. b. this would lead to a decreased need to hold cash for transactions, thus the transactions demand for money would decrease. c. this would lead to an increased need to hold cash for transactions, thus the transactions demand for money would increase. d. this technology would not change the transactions component of the demand for money.
