Equilibrium assumptions posit relations between different people's beliefs and behavior without describing a process … that causes these relations to hold. I show that because equilibrium models do not describe a causal process whereby one … misleading predictions about how these models work. Equilibrium assumptions also imply absurd paradoxes: history can determine …

We state conditions for existence and uniqueness of equilibria in evolutionary models with an infinity of locally and globally interacting agents. Agents face repeated discrete choice problems. Their utility depends on the actions of some designated neighbors and the average choice throughout...
