Minimax regret and strategic uncertainty
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a new solution concept, a minimax regret equilibrium, which allows for the possibility that players are uncertain about the rationality and conjectures of their opponents. We provide several applications of our concept. In particular, we consider pricesetting environments and show that optimal pricing policy follows a non-degenerate distribution. The induced price dispersion is consistent with experimental and empirical observations (Baye and Morgan (2004)).

A New Model for Stochastic Facility Location Modeling
We study a strategic facility location problem under uncertainty. The uncertainty associated with future events is modeled by defining alternative future scenarios with probabilities. We present a new model which minimizes the expected regret with respect to an endogenously selected subset of worst-case scenarios whose collective probability of occurrence is exactly 1-α. We demonstrate the effe...

متن کاملRobustness in portfolio optimization based on minimax regret approach
Portfolio optimization is one of the most important issues for effective and economic investment. There is plenty of research in the literature addressing this issue. Most of these pieces of research attempt to make the Markowitz’s primary portfolio selection model more realistic or seek to solve the model for obtaining fairly optimum portfolios. An efficient frontier in the ...
متن کاملHub Location under Uncertainty: a Minimax Regret Model for the Capacitated Problem with Multiple Allocations
In this paper the capacitated hub location problem is formulated by a minimax regret model, which takes into account uncertain setup cost and demand. We focus on hub location with multiple allocations as a strategic problem requiring one definite solution. Investigating how deterministic models may lead to sub-optimal solutions, we provide an efficient formulation method for the problem. A comp...
متن کاملMinimax Filtering via Relations between Information and Estimation
We investigate the problem of continuous-time causal estimation under a minimax criterion. Let X = {Xt, 0 ≤ t ≤ T} be governed by the probability law Pθ from a class of possible laws indexed by θ ∈ Λ, and Y T be the noise corrupted observations of X available to the estimator. We characterize the estimator minimizing the worst case regret, where regret is the difference between the causal estim...
