equilibrium. Players are assumed to make strategy choices using a combination of imitation and innovation. We begin by looking at … an imitation dynamic and provide conditions under which play evolves to an imitation equilibrium; convergence is … conditional on the network of social interaction. We then illustrate, through example, how imitation and innovation can complement …
