Capital Accumulation Games of Infinite Duration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Consider a market in which firms accumulate capital according to the Nerlove-Arrow capital accumulation equation. Each player chooses a path of investment and thus an induced path of capital to maximize his total discounted profits which depend on his own capital and the capital stocks of his rivals. Existence is proved for such a nonzero sum, infinite horizon differential game and conditions under which the game converges to a particular stationary point, regardless of the initial conditions are shown. Thus, the game possesses the property of conditional global asymptotic stability. Journal of Economic Literature, Classification Numbers: 022. 611.

Existence of perfect equilibria in a class of multigenerational stochastic games of capital accumulation
In this paper we introduce a model of multigenerational stochastic games of capital accumulation where each generation consists ofm different players. The main objective is to prove the existence of a perfect stationary equilibrium in an infinite horizon game. A suitable change in the terminology used in this paper provides (in the case of perfect altruism between generations) a new Nash equili...
متن کاملThe intrinsic comparative dynamics of locally differentiable feedback Nash equilibria of autonomous and exponentially discounted infinite horizon differential games ¬リニ
The comparative dynamics of locally differentiable feedback Nash equilibria are derived for the ubiquitous class of autonomous and exponentially discounted infinite horizon differential games. The resulting refutable implications are intrinsic to the said class of differential games, and thus form their basic, empirically testable, properties. Their relationship with extant results in the optim...
متن کاملOn Fixed-Parameter Complexity of Infinite Games
We investigate and classify fixed parameter complexity of several infinite duration games, including Rabin, Streett, Muller, parity, mean payoff, and simple stochastic, using different natural parameterizations. Most known fixed parameter intractable games are PSPACEor EXP-complete classically, AW [∗] or XP-hard parametrically, and are all finite duration games. In contrast, the games we consid...
متن کاملDi¤erential Oligopoly Games where the Closed-Loop Memoryless and Open-Loop Equilibria Coincide
We illustrate two di¤erential oligopoly games using, respectively, the capital accumulation dynamics à la Nerlove-Arrow, and the capital accumulation dynamics à la Ramsey. We prove that these games bene...t from the property that closed-loop memoryless solutions degenerate into open-loop solutions, since the best reply of a generic ...rm is independent of the rivals’ state variables, which enta...
متن کاملPlaying Pushdown Parity Games in a Hurry ( Extended Abstract )
We continue the investigation of finite-duration variants of infinite-duration games by extending known results for games played on finite graphs to those played on infinite ones. In particular, we establish an equivalence between pushdown parity games and a finite-duration variant. This allows to determine the winner of a pushdown parity game by solving a reachability game on a finite tree.
