Which Is the Worst-Case Nash Equilibrium?

, is the worst-case Nash equilibrium. ...
In particular, we are interested in identifying the worst-case Nash equilibrium -the one that maximizes social cost. ...
The worst-case Nash equilibrium is one that maximizes social cost. ...

On the other hand, a maximin strategy assumes that all opposing agents are playing to minimize our payoff (even if it is not in their best interest), and ensures the maximal possible worst-case payoff, ...
The standard game-theoretic solution concept, Nash equilibrium, assumes that all players behave rationally. ...

Beyond equilibrium
2010
Proceedings of the Behavioral and Quantitative Game Theory on Conference on Future Directions - BQGT '10
It is standard in multiagent settings to assume that agents will adopt Nash equilibrium strategies. ...
However, studies in experimental economics demonstrate that Nash equilibrium is a poor description of human players' actual behaviour. ...
First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor Kevin Leyton-Brown, for introducing me to behavioural game theory in the first place, and for his continued guidance in every aspect of research. ...

Conditional strategy equilibrium
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
In this note, we prove the existence of an equilibrium concept, dubbed conditional strategy equilibrium, for non-cooperative games in which a strategy of a player is a function from the other players' ...
We study the properties of efficiency and coalition-proofness of the conditional strategy equilibrium in n-person games. ...
benchmark model, we assume that a conditional strategy profile that produces a disagreement induces the worst utility in the game to the players, which is similar to the disagreement outcome in the Nash ...

Legitimate equilibrium
2021
International Journal of Game Theory
AbstractWe present a general existence result for a type of equilibrium in normal-form games, which extends the concept of Nash equilibrium. ...
A strategy profile is called a legitimate equilibrium if each player evaluates this profile by the upper integral, and each player evaluates all his possible deviations by the lower integral. ...
This new equilibrium concept is a novel generalisation of the concept of Nash equilibrium. ...

Empirical Equilibrium
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
We study the foundations of empirical equilibrium, a refinement of Nash equilibrium that is based on a non-parametric characterization of empirical distributions of behavior in games (Velez and Brown,2020b ...
The refinement can be alternatively defined as those Nash equilibria that do not refute the regular QRE theory of Goeree, Holt, and Palfrey (2005). ...
If some of these outcomes are implausible, then a worst case scenario analysis can be unnecessarily pessimistic, and a best case scenario analysis can be unrealistically optimistic. ...

We test a single-parameter variant of our model that embeds Bayesian Nash equilibrium as a special case and find that parameter values corresponding to cursedness fit a broad range of experimental data ...
Moreover, the existence of a Bayesian Nash equilibrium (which is to say, a χ = 0 cursed equilibrium) is neither necessary nor sufficient for the existence of a χ-cursed equilibrium for each χ ∈ (0, 1]. ...

Stackelberg versus Cournot Equilibrium
1999
Games and Economic Behavior
While our findings essentially confirm the predominance of the former, they also indicate that the latter is natural under some robust but restrictive conditions. ...
For quantity duopoly we provide different sets of minimal conditions, directly on the demand and cost functions, yielding respectively the simultaneous and the two sequential modes of play. ...
2 y > y s P x s + y s − C 2 y s This says that the follower prefers the worst Cournot-Nash equilibrium (for himself) to any Stackelberg equilibrium. ...

How long to equilibrium? The communication complexity of uncoupled equilibrium procedures

Games and Economic Behavior
Specifically, we show lower bounds that are exponential in the number of players in each one of the following cases: (1) reaching a pure Nash equilibrium; (2) reaching a pure Nash equilibrium in a Bayesian ...
We then show that, in contrast, the communication complexity of reaching a correlated equilibrium is polynomial in the number of players. ...

Perfect Prediction Equilibrium

Finally, the PPE is put in perspective with existing literature (Newcomb's Problem, Superrationality, Nash Equilibrium, Subgame Perfect Equilibrium, Backward Induction Paradox, Forward Induction). ...
In the Nash paradigm, rational players consider that the opponent's strategy is fixed while maximizing their payoff. ...
Introduction In non-cooperative game theory, one of the most common equilibrium concepts is the Subgame Perfect Equilibrium (SPE) (Selten 1965) , a refinement of the Nash Equilibrium (Nash 1951) . ...

Learning and Equilibrium
2009
Annual Review of Economics
If agents' strategies are completely observed at the end of each round, and agents are randomly matched with a series of anonymous opponents, fairly simple rules perform well in terms of the agent's worst-case ...
The theory of learning in games studies how, which and what kind of equilibria might arise as a consequence of a long-run non-equilibrium process of learning, adaptation and/or imitation. ...
This universality property (called worst-case analysis in computer science) has proven important in the theory of learning, perhaps because it is fairly easy to achieve. ...

Equilibrium in Combinatorial Public Projects
[chapter]
2013
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
For Pure Nash Equilibria we show that the worst-case loss in efficiency is proportional to the number of agents. ...
For public projects in which only one item is selected we show constructively that there always exists a Pure Nash Equilibrium that guarantees at least 1 2 (1 − 1 n ) of the optimum. ...
For each equilibrium notion above, we can measure worst-case efficiency by way of the price of anarchy. ...

Team-maxmin equilibrium: efficiency bounds and algorithms
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
In this paper, we investigate bounds of (in)efficiency of the Team-maxmin equilibrium w.r.t. the Nash equilibria and w.r.t. the Maxmin equilibrium when the team members can play correlated strategies. ...
Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, the Team-maxmin equilibrium is almost completely unexplored in the literature. ...
Therefore, there are instances in which the worst Nash equilibrium is arbitrarily worse than the Team-maxmin equilibrium and, in its turn, the Team-maxmin equilibrium is arbitrarily worse (in this case ...

Collusion constrained equilibrium

Theoretical Economics
In each case we show that equilibria in which groups choose the best alternative exist and that limits of these equilibria lead to collusion constrained equilibria. ...
This allows groups to randomize between alternatives to which they are not indifferent in certain razor's edge cases where slight perturbations of group beliefs change the set of incentive compatible plans ...
