On the Stability of Equilibria in Incomplete Information Games under Ambiguity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract In this paper, we look at the (Kajii and Ui) mixed equilibrium notion, which has been recognized by previous literature as a natural solution concept for incomplete information games in which players have multiple priors on the space of payoff relevant states. We investigate the problem of stability of mixed equilibria with respect to perturbations on the sets of multiple priors. We find out that the (Painlevé-Kuratowski) convergence of posteriors ensures that stability holds; whereas, convergence of priors is not enough to obtain stability since it does not always implies convergence of posteriors when we consider updating rules (for multiple priors) based on the classical Bayesian approach.

Analyzing Games with Ambiguous Player Types
6 In many common interactive scenarios, participants lack information 7 about other participants, and specifically about the preferences of other 8 participants. In this work, we model an extreme case of incomplete 9 information, which we term games with type ambiguity, where a participant 10 lacks even information enabling him to form a belief on the preferences of 11 others. Under type ambigu...
متن کاملKnightian games and robustness to ambiguity
This paper considers incomplete information games with ambiguous beliefs represented by compact sets of probability measures. We propose a definition of equilibrium for such games that does not rely on a max-min decision rule, but instead requires equilibrium strategies to be approximate best responses for all measures that define a player’s belief. We apply the resulting model of a game with a...

متن کاملPrice of Stability in Games of Incomplete Information
We address the question of whether price of stability results (existence of equilibria with low social cost) are robust to incomplete information. We show that this is the case in potential games, if the underlying algorithmic social cost minimization problem admits a constant factor approximation algorithm via strict cost-sharing schemes. Roughly, if the existence of an α-approximate equilibri...
متن کاملApproximately Solving Sequential Games With Incomplete Information
Games of incomplete information are notorious for their difficulty which usually makes finding an exact solution intractable. The problem is even harder when the game has multiple stages and sequential decision-making is required. Some efforts have therefore addressed the issue of finding approximate equilibria for various classes of games, but these have mostly been restricted to 1-stage games...
