Markov Stationary Equilibria in Stochastic Supermodular Games with Imperfect Private and Public Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a class of discounted, infinite horizon stochastic games with public and private signals and strategic complementarities. Using monotone operators defined on the function space of values and strategies (equipped with a product order), we prove existence of a stationary Markov–Nash equilibrium via constructive methods. In addition, we provide monotone comparative statics results for ordered perturbations of our space of games. We present examples from industrial organization literature and discuss possible extensions of our techniques for studying principal-agent models.

Discounted Supermodular Stochastic Games: Theory and Applications
This paper considers a general class of discounted Markov stochastic games characterized by multidimensional state and action spaces with an order structure, and one-period rewards and state transitions satisfying some complementarity and monotonicity conditions. Existence of pure-strategy Markov (Markov-stationary) equilibria for the nite (in nite) horizon game, with nondecreasing and possib...
متن کاملDiscounted Stochastic Games with Voluntary Transfers
This paper studies discounted stochastic games with perfect or imperfect public monitoring and the opportunity to conduct voluntary monetary transfers. We show that for all discount factors every public perfect equilibrium payoff can be implemented with a simple class of equilibria that have a stationary structure on the equilibrium path and optimal penal codes with a stick and carrot structure...
متن کاملStationary Markov perfect equilibria in discounted stochastic games
The existence of stationary Markov perfect equilibria in stochastic games is shown under a general condition called “(decomposable) coarser transition kernels”. This result covers various earlier existence results on correlated equilibria, noisy stochastic games, stochastic games with finite actions and stateindependent transitions, and stochastic games with mixtures of constant transition kern...
متن کاملRational Learning in Imperfect Monitoring Games
This paper provides a general framework to analyze rational learning in strategic situations where the players have private priors, private information and there is a role for passive and active learning. The theory of statistical inference for stochastic processes and of Markovian dynamic programming is applied to study players asymptotic behavior in the context of repeated and of recurring ga...
متن کاملStrategic Dynamic Programming Methods for Studying Short Memory Equilibria in a Class of Stochastic Games with Uncountable Number of States∗
We study a class of infinite horizon stochastic games with uncountable number of states. We first characterize the set of all (nonstationary) short-term (Markovian) equilibrium values by developing a new Abreu, Pearce, and Stacchetti (1990) type procedure operating in function spaces. This (among others) proofs Markov Perfect Nash Equilibrium (MPNE) existence. Moreover, we present techniques of...
