Once beaten, never again : imitation in two-player potential games
Duersch, Peter; Oechssler, Joerg; Schipper, Burkhard - 2012
We show that in symmetric two-player exact potential games, the simple decision rule "imitate-if-better" cannot be beaten by any strategy in a repeated game by more than the maximal payoff difference of the one-period game. Our results apply to many interesting games including examples like 2x2...

Strategic Teaching and Learning in Games
Schipper, Burkhard C. - 2017
It is known that there are uncoupled learning heuristics leading to Nash equilibrium in all finite games. Why should … players use such learning heuristics and where could they come from? We show that there is no uncoupled learning heuristic …" or that could "learn itself". Rather, a player has an incentive to strategically teach such a learning opponent in order …

Individual Learning and Cooperation in Noisy Repeated Games - Second Version
Yamamoto, Yuichi - 2017
We investigate whether two players in a long-run relationship can maintain cooperation when the details of the underlying game are unknown. Specifically, we consider a new class of repeated games with private monitoring, where an unobservable state of the world influences the payoff functions...

Cognitive ability, character skills, and learning to play equilibrium : a level-k analysis
Gill, David; Prowse, Victoria L. - 2014
understand better how subjects with different cognitive abilities learn differently, we estimate a structural model of learning … ability to that of character skills, and find that both cognition and personality affect behavior and learning. More agreeable …

Common learning and cooperation in repeated games
Sugaya, Takuo; Yamamoto, Yuichi - 2019 - This Version: April 26, 2019
We study repeated games in which players learn the unknown state of the world by observing a sequence of noisy private signals. We find that for generic signal distributions, the folk theorem obtains using ex-post equilibria. In our equilibria, players commonly learn the state, that is, the...
