Salience reasoning in coordination games

چکیده
Salience reasoning, many have argued, can help solve coordination problems, but only if such reasoning is supplemented by higher-order predictions, e.g. beliefs about what others believe yet will choose. In this paper, I argue that line of self-undermining. Higher-order behavioral predictions defeat salience-based predictions. To anchor my argument in the philosophical literature, develop it response and opposition to popular Lewisian model salience games. This imports problematic way a ‘symmetric reasoning’ constraint. second part player may employ she suspends judgment do.

Community-Based Reasoning in Games: Salience, Rule-Following, and Counterfactuals
This paper develops a game-theoretic and epistemic account of a peculiar mode of practical reasoning that sustains focal points but also more general forms of rule-following behavior which I call community-based reasoning (CBR). It emphasizes the importance of counterfactuals in strategic interactions. In particular, the existence of rules does not reduce to observable behavioral patterns but a...
متن کاملNetwork architecture, salience and coordination
This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation of monotone games with imperfect information. Players are located at the nodes of a network and observe the actions of other players only if they are connected by the network. These games have many sequential equilibria; nonetheless, the behavior of subjects in the laboratory is predictable. The network architecture makes some stra...
متن کاملCoordination in Turnout Games∗
We present a stochastic model of coordination in turnout games. In each period a randomly selected voter receives information about current play through noisy polls and then, based on this information, forms expectations about the current conÞguration of play and chooses a best response. We prove the existence of a unique limiting distribution for the process and show that even in large elector...
متن کاملCoordination Games in Economics∗
The best example to illustrate coordination games is to consider the fascinating example discussed by Schelling (1960) in which two individuals must independently decide where to locate, at point A or point B. Assume that the players are better off locating at point B than not locating at the same point, but they are even better off if they locate at point A. Thus, there are gains to coordinati...
متن کاملCoordination Games
Coordination games typically possess multiple Nash equilibria, some of which are preferred by one or more players. Coordination on desired equilibria can be facilitated by communication, repetition, and introspection.
