Applying unawareness belief structures introduced in Heifetz, Meier, and Schipper (2013a), we develop Bayesian games … with unawareness, define equilibrium, and prove existence. We show how equilibria are extended naturally from lower to … higher awareness levels and restricted from higher to lower awareness levels. We apply Bayesian games with unawareness to …

We define a generalized state-space model with interactive unawareness and probabilistic beliefs. Such models are … desirable for many potential applications of asymmetric unawareness. We develop Bayesian games with unawareness, define … restricted from higher to lower awareness levels. We use our unawareness belief structure to show that the common prior …

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 …

The standard state-spaces of asymmetric information preclude non-trivial forms of unawareness (Modica and Rustichini …-trivial unawareness among several individuals, and which satisfies strong properties of knowledge as well as all the desiderata on … unawareness proposed this far in the literature. …

Case studies of cartels and recent theory suggest that repeated communication is key for stable cooperation in … environments where signals about others' actions are noisy. However, empirically the exact role of communication is not well … understood. We study cooperation under different monitoring and communication structures in the laboratory. Under all monitoring …

In the last years, many contributions have been exploring population learning in economies where myopic agents play bilateral games and are allowed to repeatedly choose their pure strategies in the game and, possibly, their opponents in the game. These models explore bilateral stage-games...

Many strategic interactions in the real world take place among delegates empowered to act on behalf of others. Although there may be a multitude of reasons why delegation arises in reality, one intriguing possibility is that it yields a strategic advantage to the delegating party. In the case...

We consider a general-sum N-player linear-quadratic game with stochastic dynamics over a finite horizon and prove the global convergence of the natural policy gradient method to the Nash equilibrium. In order to prove convergence of the method we require a certain amount of noise in the system....

It is commonly assumed that friendship should decrease strategic uncertainty in games involving tacit coordination. However, this has never been tested on two "opposite poles" of coordination, namely, games of strategic complements and substitutes. We present an experimental study having...
