Coarse correlated equilibria in linear duopoly games

چکیده
For duopoly models, we analyse the concept of coarse correlated equilibrium using simple symmetric devices that the players choose to commit to in equilibrium. In a linear duopoly game, we prove that Nash-centric devices, involving a sunspot structure, are simple symmetric coarse correlated equilibria. Any small unilateral perturbation from such a structure fails to be an equilibrium.

Coarse Correlated Equilibria and Sunspots
For duopoly models, we analyse the concept of coarse correlated equilibrium using simple symmetric devices that the players choose to commit to in equilibrium. In a linear duopoly game, we prove that Nash-centric devices, involving a sunspot structure, are simple symmetric coarse correlated equilibria. Any small unilateral perturbation from such a structure fails to be an equilibrium.
متن کاملImproving Nash by coarse correlation
We consider a class of symmetric two-person quadratic games where coarse correlated equilibria — CCE — (Moulin and Vial 1978) can strictly improve upon the Nash equilibrium payoffs, while correlated equilibrium — CE — (Aumann 1974, 1987) cannot, because these games are potential games. We compute the largest feasible total utility in any CCE in those games, and show that it is achieved by a CCE...
متن کاملImproving Nash by Correlation in Quadratic Potential Games∗
We consider a class of quadratic potential games and prove that (simple symmetric) coarse correlated equilibria (as introduced by Moulin and Vial 1978) can strictly improve upon the Nash equilibrium payoffs (that can not be improved upon by correlated equilibrium a la Aumann). We fully characterise the structure of the coarse correlated equilibrium that achieves the maximum improvement possible...
متن کاملZero-Sum Polymatrix Games: A Generalization of Minmax
We show that in zero-sum polymatrix games, a multiplayer generalization of two-person zerosum games, Nash equilibria can be found efficiently with linear programming. We also show that the set of coarse correlated equilibria collapses to the set of Nash equilibria. In contrast, other important properties of two-person zero-sum games are not preserved: Nash equilibrium payoffs need not be unique...
متن کاملCoarse Correlated Equilibria in an Abatement Game
We consider the well-analyzed abatement game (Barrett 1994) and prove that correlation among the players (nations) can strictly improve upon the Nash equilibrium payoffs. As these games are potential games, correlated equilibrium — CE — (Aumann 1974, 1987) cannot improve upon Nash; however we prove that coarse correlated equilibria — CCE — (Moulin and Vial 1978) may do so. We compute the larges...
