The order and lattice structure of the equilibrium set in games with strategic complements do not survive a minimal introduction of strategic substitutes: in a lattice game in which all-but-one players exhibit strategic complements (with one player exhibiting strict strategic complements), and...

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...

Feng and Sabarwal (2018) show that there is additional scope to study strategic complements in extensive form games, by investigating in detail the case of two stage, 2x2 games. We show the same for two stage, 2x2 games with strategic substitutes and with strategic heterogeneity. We characterize...

This paper studies models where the optimal response functions under consideration are non-increasing in endogenous variables, and weakly increasing in exogenous parameters. Such models include games with strategic substitutes, and include cases where additionally, some variables may be...
