Player 1 observes her type and decides whether to choose L or R. If player 1 chooses R, the game ends. http://gametheory101.com/courses/game-theory-101/This lecture begins a new unit on sequential games of incomplete information. 3. This problem addressed by sequential equilibrium, which explicitly requires that the players play a best reply at every information set (sequential rationality) and that the players’ beliefs are "consistent" with the other players’ strategies. Networks: Lectures 20-22 Incomplete Information Incomplete Information In many game theoretic situations, one agent is unsure about the preferences or intentions of others. Get the latest machine learning methods with code. Problem Set 5 Due: November 21, 2006 Recall that what Osborne calls “Weak Sequential Equilibrium” is equivalent to our “Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium.” 1. The problem is that the set of actions available to agent 1 depends on the state of the world.

Solution: ThesubgamethatfollowsR hasaNashequilibrium(r,r)foranyvalueofx.Therefore,L is always a SPE outcome. Problems with Weak Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium Example Beliefs are generated by Bayes rule wherever possible 1(S) = 1(S 2) = 0:5 But, notice that P2™s information set is never reached, so we can use Bayes™rule 2(S 1jd) = 2(S 1 \d) 2(d) 2(d) = 0! Generally, the first step to solving an extensive-form game is to find all of its Nash equilib- ria. Each group submits one copy of problem set with the names of all members. Since this equilibrium reaches every information set, it must be weak perfect Bayesian. A weak perfect Bayesian equilibrium for this game is that Player 1 chooses L, Player 2 believes that Player 1 chooses L with probability 1, and Player 2 chooses L™. Recall that: De nition 1 A ebhaviaolr sattrgey for player i is a function i: H i ( A i) such that for any h i H i, the suporpt of i ( h i) is ontacined in the set of actions available at h i. eW now augment a plyear s strategy to explicitly account for his beliefs. Problem Set 5. Obara (UCLA) Bayesian Nash Equilibrium February 1, 2012 6 / 28. Player 1 observes her type and decides whether to choose L or R. If player 1 chooses R, the game ends. %PDF-1.4 On the Agenda 1 Formalizing the Game 2 Systems of Beliefs and Sequential Rationality 3 Weak Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium 4 Exercises C. Hurtado (UIUC - Economics) Game Theory. In this equilibrium, every strategy is rational given the beliefs held and every belief is consistent with the strategies played. 1. (For other parameter values, the game has a pooling equilibrium in which the offspring is always quiet and the parent always gives the food.) In the following game, nature –rst chooses one of two types of player 1 (in the –gure, the two types are denoted t 1 and t 2). There are 2 players: a professor and a student. tion of perfect Bayesian equilibrium that meets several goals. As in (5), we restrict attention to finite extensive-form games with perfect recall. This is a simple Bayesian game where I the set of players (bidders) is N I the set of states is V 1:::; V n I the set of actions for bidder i is A i = < + I the set of types for bidder i is V i I bidder i’s interim belief is p i(v ijv i). Player 2’s information set will not be reached at the equilibrium, because player 1 will play L with probability 1. I bidder i’s payo is u i(b;v) = 1(b i max j6=i b j)(v i b i). Note that this equilibrium also satis–es requirement 4 because there are no o⁄-the-equilibrium path information sets, so it is also a SPBE.

Hurtado (UIUC - Economics) Game Theory. %PDF-1.4 %���� In a perfect Bayesian equilibrium, “wherever possible”, beliefs must be computed using Bayes’ rule and the strategies of the players. By contrast to discussion in class, we give a complete formulation of the game. Problems with Weak Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium Example Beliefs are generated by Bayes rule wherever possible 1(S) = 1(S 2) = 0:5 But, notice that P2™s information set is never reached, so we can use Bayes™rule 2(S 1jd) = 2(S 1 \d) 2(d) 2(d) = 0! Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium When players move sequentially and have private infor-mation, some of the Bayesian Nash equilibria may involve strategies that are not sequentially rational. And there's two, two solution concepts in particular known as sequential equilibrium and perfect Bayesian equilibrium that have key features where they have players, as part of the equilibrium you specify what the beliefs of the players are. Consider the NE (L, r) again. I bidder i’s payo is u i(b;v) = 1(b i max j6=i b j)(v i b i). There are no one-star problems on this problem set. In a PBE, every agent’s strategy should be a best response under the belief system, and the belief system depends on agents’ strategy profile when there is signaling among agents.

Perfect Bayesian equilibrium (PBE) was invented in order to refine Bayesian Nash equilibrium in a way that is similar to how subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium refines Nash equilibrium. First note that if the opponent is strong, it is a dominant strategy for him to play F — fight. 2. That means that all BNE are subgame perfect. Consider the NE (L, r) again. But assume that player 1 plays acompletely mixed strategy, playing L, M, and R with probabilities 1 , 3 4, and 4. Show that there is a unique separating perfect Bayesian equilibrium.

BNEs and Sequential rationality So far we have learned how to –nd BNEs in incomplete information games. Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium When players move sequentially and have private infor-mation, some of the Bayesian Nash equilibria may involve strategies that are not sequentially rational. It is easy enough to solve for the Bayesian Nash equilibrium of this game. Problem set on repeated games and Bayesian games 1. A perfect Bayesian equilibrium has two components -- strategies and beliefs : We do not consider this to be a choice. Each type is chosen with equal probability. First, player 1 chooses among three actions: L,M, and R. If player 1 chooses R then the game ends without a move by player 2. Game theory: Problem set II These problems are designed for discussions in the classes of Week 8 of Michaelmas term.1 1. In contrast, in an equilibrium a player maximizes his expected payoffgiven the other players’ strategies. Now, if !0, it’s still well de ned. It is easy enough to solve for the Bayesian Nash equilibrium of this game. Then, the belief on player 2’s information set is well de ned. So (cf;eh) is weak perfect Bayesian. (Market for Lemons) Here I ask that you work out some of the details in perhaps the most famous of all information economics models. stream plausibility order on the set of histories is choice measurable, which is a necessary condition for a PBE to be a SE. If Row fights, he gets 1 if the opponent is weak and — by the dominance argument just made — he gets -1 if the opponent is strong. We’re headed toward restricting these beliefs in a suitable way. Raquel has to choose whether to pursue training that costs $1;000 to herself or not. We are doing great!
