چکیده

In a Bayesian game players play an unknown game. Before the game starts some players may receive a signal regarding the specific game actually played. Typically, information structures that determine different signals, induce different equilibrium payoffs. In zerosum games the equilibrium payoff measures the value of the particular information structure which induces it. We pose a question as to what restrictions Bayesian games impose on the value of information. We provide answers in two kinds of information structures: symmetric, where both players are equally informed, and one-sided, where only one player is informed. ∗School of Mathematical Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel; e-mail: [email protected]; home page: www.math.tau.ac.il/∼lehrer †LAGA Institut Galilée, Université Paris 13, avenue Jean Baptiste Clément 93430 Villetaneuse, France; e-mail: [email protected] Journal of Economic Literature classification numbers: C72, C73, D80, D82, D83.

Robust Opponent Modeling in Real-Time Strategy Games using Bayesian Networks

Opponent modeling is a key challenge in Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games as the environment is adversarial in these games, and the player cannot predict the future actions of her opponent. Additionally, the environment is partially observable due to the fog of war. In this paper, we propose an opponent model which is robust to the observation noise existing due to the fog of war. In order to cope...

Rationalization and Incomplete Information∗

We analyze a family of extensive-form solution procedures for games with incomplete information that do not require the specification of an epistemic type space à la Harsanyi, but can accommodate a (commonly known) collection of explicit restrictions ∆ on first-order beliefs. For any fixed ∆ we obtain a solution called ∆-rationalizability. In static games, ∆-rationalizability characterizes the ...

Cooperative Benefit and Cost Games under Fairness Concerns

Solution concepts in cooperative games are based on either cost games or benefit games. Although cost games and benefit games are strategically equivalent, that is not the case in general for solution concepts. Motivated by this important observation, a new property called invariance property with respect to benefit/cost allocation is introduced in this paper. Since such a property can be regar...

Bayesian Prediction of future observation based on doubly censored data under exponential distribution

In many experiments about lifetime examination, we will faced on restrictions of time and sample size, which this factors cause that the researcher can’t access to all of data. Therefore, it is valuable to study prediction of unobserved values based on information of available data. in this paper we have studied the prediction of unobserved values in two status of one-sample and two-sample, whe...

Econ 618 Simultaneous Move Bayesian Games

A game of incomplete information or a Bayesian game is a game in which players do not have full information about each others payoffs. In a strategic situation where a player’s payoff depends on what actions his rivals will take, this poses a problem because a player does not know which game is being played. There are several reasons why players may not have full information about each others’p...
