We study population game dynamics under which each revising agent tests each of his strategies a fixed number of times, with each play of each strategy being against a newly drawn opponent, and chooses the strategy whose total payoff was highest. In the Centipede game, these best experienced...

In a Nash equilibrium, players' rationality is mutual knowledge. However, both intuition and experimental evidence … suggest that players do not know for sure the rationality of opponents. This paper proposes a new equilibrium concept … equilibrium, players do not necessarily know the rationality of opponents, but they view rationality as infinitely more likely …

The ultimatum game models social exchange in situations in which the rational motive to maximize gains conflicts with fairness considerations. Using two independent behavioral measurements, the authors tested two contradicting predictions: that the preference for fairness is a deliberative...

-equilibrium approach, we show that N-person sequential bargaining games with exit are solvable by a refinement of rationalizability for … multi-stage games (trembling-hand rationalizability) whatever the impatience of the players. That is, once we adopt the non …

By applying their Best-Reply Matching (BRM) equilibrium concept to the well known finite centipede game, Droste, Kosfeld & Voorneveld DKV (2003) showed that players continue the game with large probability. In this paper we build on their work by first showing that the BRM equilibria differ...

We introduce a definition of coalitional rationality for … social environments and show that it is satisfied by social rationalizability …

The centipede game is a two-player finite game of perfect information where a unique subgame perfect Nash equilibrium appears to be intuitively unappealing and descriptively inadequate. This paper analyzes behavior in the centipede game when a traditional game-theoretical assumption that players...
