Epistemic game theory

E Dekel, M Siniscalchi - Handbook of game theory with economic …, 2015 - Elsevier
Epistemic game theory formalizes assumptions about rationality and mutual beliefs in a
formal language, then studies their behavioral implications in games. Specifically, it asks …

Continuous implementation

M Oury, O Tercieux - Econometrica, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, we introduce a notion of continuous implementation and characterize when a
social choice function is continuously implementable. More specifically, we say that a social …

Higher order uncertainty and information: Static and dynamic games

A Penta - Econometrica, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Weinstein and Yildiz (2007) have shown that in static games, only very weak predictions are
robust to perturbations of higher order beliefs. These predictions are precisely those …

Robust predictions in infinite-horizon games—An unrefinable folk theorem

J Weinstein, M Yildiz - Review of Economic Studies, 2013 - academic.oup.com
We show that in any game that is continuous at infinity, if a plan of action ai is played by a
type ti in a Bayesian Nash equilibrium, then there are perturbations of ti for which ai is the …

Robust multiplicity with a grain of naiveté

A Heifetz, W Kets - Theoretical Economics, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Rationalizability is a central concept in game theory. Since there may be many rationalizable
strategies, applications commonly use refinements to obtain sharp predictions. In an …

Reputation without commitment in finitely repeated games

J Weinstein, M Yildiz - Theoretical Economics, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
In the reputation literature, players have commitment types, which represent the possibility
that they do not have standard payoffs, but instead are constrained to follow a particular …

Opinion dynamics via search engines (and other algorithmic gatekeepers)

F Germano, F Sobbrio - Journal of Public Economics, 2020 - Elsevier
Ranking algorithms are the information gatekeepers of the Internet era. We develop a
stylized model to study the interplay between a ranking algorithm and individual clicking …

Sensitivity of equilibrium behavior to higher-order beliefs in nice games

J Weinstein, M Yildiz - Games and Economic Behavior, 2011 - Elsevier
We analyze “nice” games (where action spaces are compact intervals, utilities continuous
and strictly concave in own action), which are used frequently in classical economic models …

Robust refinement of rationalizability with arbitrary payoff uncertainty

YC Chen, S Takahashi, S Xiong - Games and Economic Behavior, 2022 - Elsevier
Abstract Following Fudenberg et al.(1988) and Dekel and Fudenberg (1990), we say that a
refinement of (interim correlated) rationalizability is robust if it is prescribed by a solution …

On the structure of rationalizability for arbitrary spaces of uncertainty

A Penta - Theoretical Economics, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
[22] show that only very weak predictions are robust to misspecifications of higher order
beliefs. Whenever a type has multiple rationalizable actions, any of these actions is uniquely …
