Characterizing the Common Prior Assumption
Logical characterizations of the common prior assumption (CPA) are investigated. Two approaches are considered. The first is called frame distinguishability, and is similar in spirit to the approaches considered in the economics literature. Results similar to those obtained in the economics literature are proved here as well, namely, that we can distinguish finite spaces that satisfy the CPA fr...
متن کاملThe positive foundation of the common prior assumption
The existence of a common prior is a property of the state space used to model the players’ incomplete information. We show that this property is not just a technical artifact of the model, but that it is immanent to the players’ beliefs. To this end, we devise a condition, phrased solely in terms of the players’ mutual beliefs about the basic, objective issues of possible uncertainty, which is...
متن کاملHow to make sense of the common prior assumption under incomplete information
The Common Prior Assumption (CPA) is central to the economics of information and the foundations of game theory. Recent contributions (Dekel and Gul, 1997, Gul, 1996, Lipman, 1995) have questioned its meaningfulness in situations of incomplete information where there is no ex ante stage and the primitives of the model are the individuals’ belief hierarchies. We address this conceptual issue by ...
متن کاملCharacterizing the Instrumental Variable Identifying Assumption as Sample Selection Conditions
Characterizing the Instrumental Variable Identifying Assumption as Sample Selection Conditions We build on Rosenzweig and Wolpin (2000) and Keane (2010) and show that in order to fulfill the Instrumental variable (IV) identifying moment condition, a policy must be designed so that compliers and non-compliers either have the same average error term, or have an error term ratio equal to their rel...
متن کاملProof by Assumption of the Possible in Prior Analytics 1.15
In Prior Analytics 1.15 Aristotle undertakes to establish certain modal syllogisms of the form XQM. Although these syllogisms are central to his modal system, the proofs he offers for them are problematic. The precise structure of these proofs is disputed, and it is often thought that they are invalid. We propose an interpretation which resolves the main difficulties with them: the proofs are v...
