Prisoner's Dilemma is a:

  • A.zero-sum game
  • B.Non-zero-sum game
  • C.sequential game
  • D.repeated game

Answer: B

The prisoner's dilemma is a non zero sum game: the gains of one player are not exactly the losses of the other, and the players can both be better or worse off depending on the combination of strategies. In a zero sum game one player's gain is the other's loss. The dilemma may be played in one round or repeated, but its basic character is that it is non zero sum. The answer is option B. The best known outcome is that both prisoners confess although both would be better off if neither did.
