Games Played through Agents
We introduce a game of complete information with multiple principals and multiple agents. Each agent makes a decision that can affect the payoffs of all principals. Each principal offers monetary transfers to each agent conditional on the action taken by the agent. We characterize pure-strategy equilibria and we provide conditions in terms of game balancedness for the existence of an equili...
متن کاملConstructing Efficient Equilibria in Games Played Through Agents
For the game of complete information with multiple principals and multiple common agents discussed by Prat and Rustichini (2003), we construct a general set of equilibrium transfers which implement any efficient outcome as a weakly truthful equilibrium, and the subset of such equilibria that are Pareto optimal for the principals. We provide conditions under which the general set completely char...
متن کاملGames Played on Networks
This chapter studies games played on fixed networks. These games capture a wide variety of economic settings including local public goods, peer effects, and technology adoption. We establish a common analytical framework to study a wide game class. We unearth new connections between games in the literature and in particular between those with binary actions, like coordination and best-shot game...
متن کاملGames played by Boole and Galois
We define an infinite class of 2-pile subtraction games, where the amount that can be subtracted from both piles simultaneously is an extended Boolean function f of the size of the piles, or a function over GF(2). Wythoff’s game is a special case. For each game, the 2nd player winning positions are a pair of complementary sequences. Sample games are presented, strategy complexity questions are ...
متن کاملGames of Incomplete Information Played by Statisticians
The common prior assumption is a convenient restriction on beliefs in games of incomplete information, but conflicts with evidence that agents publicly disagree in many economic environments. This paper proposes a foundation for heterogeneous beliefs in games, in which disagreement arises not from different information, but from different interpretations of common information. I model players a...
