In their paper, Davies and Gather (1993) formalized the task of outlier identification, considering also certain performance criteria for outlier identifiers. One of those Criteria, the maximum asymptotic bias, is carried over here to multivariate outlier identifiers. We show how this term...

In this paper we develop tests for whether play in a game is consistent with equilibrium behavior when preferences are unobserved. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for observed outcomes in extensive game forms to be rationalized first, partially, as a Nash equilibrium and then,...

Norde et al. [Games Econ. Behav. 12 (1996) 219] proved that none of the equilibrium concepts in the literature on equilibrium selection in finite strategic games satisfying existence is consistent. A transition to set-valued solution concepts overcomes the inconsistency problem: there is a...
