Stochastic Games with Borel Payoffs
Thus H∞ = (A×B × S)× (A×B × S)× . . . . Let f be a bounded Borel-measurable function defined on H∞, where the sets A,B, and S are given the discrete topology and H∞ is given the product topology. The stochastic game S(f)(z) begins at state z ∈ S, player 1 chooses a strategy σ, player 2 chooses a strategy τ , and then 2 pays 1 the expected value of f , namely Ez,σ,τf . Theorem 1 (Martin [5]) The...
متن کاملHidden Stochastic Games and Limit Equilibrium Payoffs
We consider 2-player stochastic games with perfectly observed actions, and study the limit, as the discount factor goes to one, of the equilibrium payoffs set. In the usual setup where current states are observed by the players, we show that the set of stationary equilibrium payoffs always converges, and provide a simple example where the set of equilibrium payoffs has no limit. We then introdu...
متن کاملPayoffs to Investments in Agricultural Technology in Sub - Saharan Africa
BACKGROUND: Over the past fifteen years, USAID and other donors have made considerable investments in African technology development and transfer (TDT) activities, primarily for research and extension. Yet obligations for TDT under the Development Fund for Africa (DFA) THE IMPACTS OF INVESTMENTS IN declined steadily from $55 million in 1986 to $35 AGRICULTURAL TDT million in 1991, reflecting a ...
متن کاملSequential Investments and Options to Own
Contingent ownership structures are prevalent in joint ventures. This paper o ers an explanation based on the investment incentives provided by such an arrangement. We consider a hold-up problem in which two parties make relationshipspeci c investments sequentially in order to generate a joint surplus in the future. In our model, the following ownership structure implements rst best investments...
متن کاملStochastic Nash Equilibrium Seeking for Games with General Nonlinear Payoffs
We introduce a multi-input stochastic extremum seeking algorithm to solve the problem of seeking Nash equilibria for a noncooperative game whose N players seek to maximize their individual payoff functions. The payoff functions are general (not necessarily quadratic), and their forms are not known to the players. Our algorithm is a nonmodel-based approach for asymptotic attainment of the Nash e...
