We consider global games with general payoff structures and prove existence of equilibrium. This shows that the global games method is well-defined with arbitrary strategic interaction among players, thus providing a foundation for the study of more general equilibrium behavior, especially as...

Some results in the monotone comparative statics literature tell us that if a parameter increases, some old equilibria are smaller than some new equilibria. We give a sufficient condition such that at a new parameter value every old equilibrium is smaller than every new equilibrium. We also...

In games with strategic substitutes (GSS), convergence of the best-response dynamic starting from the inf (or sup) of the strategy space is equivalent to global stability (convergence of every adaptive dynamic to the same pure strategy Nash equilibrium). Consequently, in GSS, global stability...
