We study the perfect type-contingently public ex-post equilibrium (PTXE) of repeated games with incomplete information where players observe imperfect public signals of the actions and the map from actions to signal distributions is itself unknown. The PTXE payoffs when players are patient are...

We experimentally examine whether communicating private signals after each stage game affects cooperation in an infinitely repeated two-player prisoner’s dilemma where players can only observe imperfect and private signals about the partner’s actions. Based on evidence from two...
