Aggregative Games and Best-Reply Potentials
This paper introduces quasi-aggregative games and establishes conditions under which such games admit a best-reply potential. This implies existence of a pure strategy Nash equilibrium without any convexity or quasi-concavity assumptions. It also implies convergence of best-reply dynamics under some additional assumptions. Most of the existing literature’s aggregation concepts are special cases...
متن کاملBest-reply matching in games
We study a new equilibrium concept in non-cooperative games, where players follow a behavioral rule called best-reply matching. Under this rule a player matches the probability of playing a pure strategy to the probability that this strategy is a best reply. Kosfeld, Droste, and Voorneveld (2001) show that best-reply matching equilibria are stationary states in a simple model of social learning...
متن کاملAggregative Games with Entry1
Aggregative games are used to model strategic interaction in many elds of economics, including industrial organization, political economy, international trade, and public nance. In such games, each players payo¤ depends on his/her own actions and an aggregate of all players actions. Examples in industrial organization are the Cournot oligopoly model, logit and CES di¤erentiated products Ber...
متن کاملLocal Aggregative Games
Aggregative games provide a rich abstraction to model strategic multi-agent interactions. We introduce local aggregative games, where the payoff of each player is a function of its own action and the aggregate behavior of its neighbors in a connected digraph. We show the existence of pure strategy -Nash equilibrium in such games when the payoff functions are convex or sub-modular. We prove an i...
متن کاملAggregative Public Good Games
We exploit the aggregative structure of the public good model to provide a simple analysis of the voluntary contribution game. In contrast to the best response function approach, ours avoids the proliferation of dimensions as the number of players is increased, and can readily analyse games involving many heterogeneous players. We demonstrate the approach at work on the standard pure public eco...
