An order-centric treatment of the Bayesian supermodular game
نویسندگان
چکیده
We take an order-centric approach to an incomplete-information version of the supermodular game (SG). In particular, we first introduce concepts related to ordered normal form games and the stochastic dominance order. Then, we work on a Bayesian SG, for which we show the existence of a monotone equilibrium and its monotonic trend as the player type distribution varies. Our results complement those that appeared in the Bayesian-SG literature.

Robust Opponent Modeling in Real-Time Strategy Games using Bayesian Networks
Opponent modeling is a key challenge in Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games as the environment is adversarial in these games, and the player cannot predict the future actions of her opponent. Additionally, the environment is partially observable due to the fog of war. In this paper, we propose an opponent model which is robust to the observation noise existing due to the fog of war. In order to cope...
متن کاملInterim Bayesian Nash equilibrium on universal type spaces for supermodular games
We prove the existence of a greatest and a least interim Bayesian Nash equilibrium for supermodular games of incomplete information. There are two main differences from the earlier proofs in Vives (1990) and Milgrom and Roberts (1990): (a) we use the interim formulation of a Bayesian game, in which each player’s beliefs are part of his or her type rather than being derived from a prior; (b) we ...
متن کاملCesaro Supermodular Order and Archimedean Copulas
In this paper, we introduce a new kind of order, Cesaro supermodular order, which includes supermodular order and stochastic order. For this new order, we show that it almost fulfils all desirable properties of a multivariate positive dependence order that have been proposed by Joe (1997). Also, we obtain some relations between it with other orders. Finally, we consider different issues related...
متن کاملAbstract Interpretation of Supermodular Games
Supermodular games find significant applications in a variety of models, especially in operations research and economic applications of noncooperative game theory, and feature pure strategy Nash equilibria characterized as fixed points of multivalued functions on complete lattices. Pure strategy Nash equilibria of supermodular games are here approximated by resorting to the theory of abstract i...
متن کاملEndogenous information acquisition in Bayesian games with strategic complementarities
This paper studies covert (or hidden) information acquisition in common value Bayesian games of strategic complementarities. Using the supermodular stochastic order to arrange the structures of information increasingly in terms of preferences, we provide novel, easily interpretable conditions under which the value of information is globally convex, and study the implications in terms of the equ...
