Approximate Common Knowledge and Co-ordination: Recent Lessons from Game Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
The importance of the notion of common knowledge in sustaining cooperative outcomes in strategic situations is well appreciated. However, the systematic analysis of the extent to which small departures from common knowledge affect equilibrium in games has only recently been attempted. We review the main themes in this literature, in particular, the notion of common p-belief. We outline both the analytical issues raised, and the potential applicability of such ideas to game theory, computer science and the philosophy of language.

SMEs Co-opetition and Knowledge Sharing: The IS Role
Co-opetition, simultaneous co-operation and competition, is a recent phenomenon. Co-opetition entails sharing knowledge that may be a key source of competitive advantage. Yet, the knowledge gained by cooperation may also be used for competition. There is little investigation of how this problem may be modeled and, hence, managed. A game-theoretic framework for analysing inter-organisational kno...
متن کاملUsing game theory approach to interpret stable policies for Iran’s oil and gas common resources conflicts with Iraq and Qatar
Oil and gas as the non-renewable resources are considered very valuable for the countries with petroleum economics. These resources are not only diffused equally around the world, but also they are common in some places which their neighbors often come into conflicts. Consequently, it is vital for those countries to manage their resource utilization. Lately, game theory was applied in conflict ...
متن کاملAbsence of Pure Nash Equilibria in a class of Co-ordination Games
We prove that for a certain class of co-ordination games with increasing payoffs for co-ordination there are not necessarily pure Nash equilibria. This is achieved by introducing a particular model for the payoffs. This result is in contrast to the congestion game with decreasing payoff. We discuss a generalization of the model introduced which is of independent interest.
متن کاملKnowledge Transfer under Coopetition
Recent business trends have given rise to coopetition: simultaneous cooperation and competition between firms. Coopetition entails the sharing of knowledge which may be a key source of competitive advantage. Under coopetition there is a paradox that the knowledge shared for cooperation may also be used for competition. While the existence of this problem is known, there is little investigation ...
متن کاملA New Approach for Determination of Break Points for Protection Co-Ordination
Interconnected power system networks are multi loop structured. Settings determination of all over current and distance relays in such networks can be in different forms and complicated. The main problem is the determination of starting points i.e. the location of starting relays in the procedure for settings, which is referred to as break points. In this paper, a new approach based on graph th...
