Testable Restrictions of Nash Equilibrium in Games with Continuous Domains

Carvajal, Andrés - Banco de la Republica de Colombia

This paper studies the falsiability of the hypothesis of Nash behavoir, for the case of a finite number of players who choose from continuous domains, subject to constraints. The results obtained here are negative. Assuming the observation of finite data sets, and using weak, but non-trivial,...

Adaptive Dynamics and the Implementation Problem with Complete Information

Cabrales, Antonio - 1997

This paper studies the equilibrating process of several implementation mechanisms using naive adaptive dynamics. We show that the dynamics converge and are stable, for the canonical mechanism of implementation in Nash equilibrium. In this way we cast some doubt on the criticism of "complexity"...
