We define a cautious version of extensive-form rationalizability for generalized extensive- form games with unawareness … set. We demonstrate the applicability of prudent rationalizability. In games of disclosure of verifiable information, we … show that prudent rationalizability yields unraveling under full awareness but unraveling might fail under unawareness. We …

We study experimentally persuasion games in which a sender (e.g., a seller) with private information provides verifiable but potentially vague information (e.g., about the quality of a product) to a receiver (e.g., a buyer). Various theoretical solution concepts such as sequential equilibrium or...

In modern elections, ideologically motivated candidates with a wealth of information about individual voters and sophisticated campaign strategies are faced by voters who lack awareness of some political issues and are uncertain about the exact political positions of candidates. We study to what...

Equilibrium notions for games with unawareness in the literature cannot be interpreted as steady-states of a learning … process because players may discover novel actions during play. In this sense, many games with unawareness are "self … state there is an extensive-form game with unawareness that together with the players' play determines the transition to …

We extend Kuhn's Theorem to extensive games with unawareness. This extension is not entirely obvious: First, extensive … games with non-trivial unawareness involve a forest of partially ordered game trees rather than just one game tree.

We study a game in which a sender with verifiable private information has to pay an access fee that is announced by a receiver to be able to convey her message to the receiver. The setting is motivated by the literature of pay-and-lobby politics, which finds that politicians decide to schedule...

Level-k thinking and Cognitive Hierarchy have been widely applied as a normalform solution concept in behavioral and experimental game theory. We consider the extension of level-k thinking to extensive-form games. Player's may learn about levels of opponents' thinking during the play of the game...
