论文摘要
患者玩家私下观察了一种持续的状态,该状态直接影响其近视对手的回报,并且可以成为每个时期都采取相同混合行动的几种承诺类型之一。我表征了一系列环境,无论他的阶段游戏回报功能如何,患者玩家至少在所有均衡中都获得了承诺的回报。由于相互依存的价值,患者玩家无法通过模仿混合策略承诺类型来保证他的混合承诺收益,而对纯粹承诺行动的小扰动可以显着降低患者球员的保证平衡收益。
A patient player privately observes a persistent state that directly affects his myopic opponents' payoffs, and can be one of the several commitment types that plays the same mixed action in every period. I characterize the set of environments under which the patient player obtains at least his commitment payoff in all equilibria regardless of his stage-game payoff function. Due to interdependent values, the patient player cannot guarantee his mixed commitment payoff by imitating the mixed-strategy commitment type, and small perturbations to a pure commitment action can significantly reduce the patient player's guaranteed equilibrium payoff.
