Refinements of Nash equilibrium in potential games
A strategic-form game is a potential game if the incentive of all players to change their strategy can be expressed in one global function, called the game’s potential. Potential games have many applications in Economics and other disciplines (cf. Rosenthal 1973, Monderer and Shapley 1996, Ostrovsky and Schwarz 2005, Armstrong and Vickers 2001, Myatt and Wallace 2009, inter alia). Potential gam...
متن کاملRefinements of Nash Equilibrium
In game theory, “refinement” refers to the selection of a subset of equilibria, typically on the grounds that the selected equilibria are more plausible than other equilibria. These notes are a brief, largely informal, survey of some of the most heavily used refinements. Throughout, “equilibria” means Nash equilibria (NE), unless I state otherwise explicitly. And throughout, I assume that the g...
متن کاملNash equilibrium in compact-continuous games with a potential
If the preferences of the players in a strategic game satisfy certain continuity conditions, then the acyclicity of individual improvements implies the existence of a (pure strategy) Nash equilibrium. Moreover, starting from any strategy profile, an arbitrary neighborhood of the set of Nash equilibria can be reached after a finite number of individual improvements. JEL Classification Number: C 72.
متن کاملOn equilibrium refinements in supermodular games
We show that supermodular games satisfying sequential better-reply security possess a pure strategy perfect equilibrium and a strategically stable set of pure strategy equilibria. We illustrate that in continuous supermodular games, perfect equilibria may contain weakly dominated actions. Moreover, in discontinuous supermodular games satisfying sequential better-reply security, perfect equilibr...
متن کاملLearning and Equilibrium Refinements in Signalling Games∗
We propose two new signalling-game refinements that are microfounded in a model of patient Bayesian learning. Agents are born into player roles and play the signalling game against a random opponent each period. Inexperienced agents know their opponents’ payoff functions but not the prevailing distribution of opponents’ play. One refinement corresponds to an upper bound on the set of possible l...
