This paper shows how strategic matching generates reputation-building behavior in an evolutionary chain-store game. Strategic matching means the possibility for an entrant to choose in a strategic way the local market into which it will move. Players are boundedly rational and follow behavioral...

We apply the dynamic stochastic framework proposed by recent evolutionaryliterature to the class of strict supermodular games when two simplebehavior rules coexist in the population, imitation and myopic optimization.We assume that myopic optimizers are able to see how well their payoff...

A population of agents recurrently plays a two-strategy population game. When an agent receives a revision opportunity, he chooses a new strategy using a noisy best response rule that satisfies mild regularity conditions; best response with mutations, logit choice, and probit choice are all...

We use evolutionary game theory in order to determinate the long-run behaviours in the monetary policy game. The model we present firstly assumes the government as well as the private sector are boundedly rational players. The behavioral rule of the government is imitation of the best player...

We consider models of stochastic evolution in two-strategy games in which agents employ imitative decision rules. We … predictions: the asymptotics of the stationary distribution do not depend on the order in which the mutation rate and population …

A recent literature in evolutionary game theory is devoted to the question of robust equilibrium selection under noisy best-response dynamics. In this paper we present a complete picture of equilibrium selection for asymmetric binary choice coordination games in the small noise limit. We achieve...

We consider a basic stochastic evolutionary model with rare mutation and a best-reply (or better-reply) selection … bounded away from zero as the mutation rate decreases to zero. We prove that, for all finite extensive-form games of perfect …
