A Game Theoretic Approach to Linear Systems with L2-bounded Disturbances
Engwerda, Jacob; Schumacher, Johannes M.; van den … - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2000
The aim of the present study is to construct a state feedback controller for a given linear system that minimizes the worst-case effect of an L2 -bounded disturbance. Our setting is different from the usual framework of H -theory in that we consider nonzero initial conditions. The situation is...

A Strategic Foundation for Proper Equilibrium
Borm, Peter; Hendrickx, Ruud; Kleppe, J. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2012
Abstract: Proper equilbrium plays an importent role in the literature on non-cooperative games. The underlying thought experiment is, however, unsatisfying, as it gives no justification for its fundamental idea that severe mistakes are made with a significantly smaller probability than innocuous...

Refinements of Rationalizability for Normal-Form Games
Herings, P.J.J.; Vannetelbosch, V. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 1997
strategy choices. Three main refinements of rationalizability have been proposed in the literature: cautious, perfect, and … proper rationalizability. Nevertheless, some of these refinements also fail to eliminate unreasonable outcomes and suffer … than trembling-hand rationalizability. The other relationships between the various refinements are illustrated by means of …

Time as a Medium of Reward in Three Social Preference Experiments
Noussair, Charles; Stoop, J.T.R. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2012
Abstract: We report results from three well-known experimental paradigms, where we use time, rather than money, as the salient component of subjects’ incentives. The three experiments, commonly employed to study social preferences, are the dictator game, the ultimatum game and the trust game....

A Theory of Sequential Reciprocity
Dufwenberg, M.; Kirchsteiger, G. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 1998
Many experimental studies indicate that people are motivated by reciprocity. Rabin (1993) develops techniques for incorporating such concerns into game theory and economics. His model, however, does not fare well when applied to situations with an interesting dynamic structure (like many...

Sequentially Stable Coalition Structures
Funaki, Y.; Yamato, T. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2007
In this paper, we examine the question of which coalition structures farsighted players form in coalition formation games with externalities. We introduce a stability concept for a coalition structure called a sequentially stable coalition structure. Our concept of domination between two...

The Socially Stable Core in Structured Transferable Utility Games
Talman, Dolf; Herings, P.J.J.; van der Laan, G. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2004
We consider cooperative games with transferable utility (TU-games), in which we allow for a social structure on the set of players, for instance a hierarchical ordering or a dominance relation.The social structure is utilized to refine the core of the game, being the set of payoffs to the...
