A Folk Theorem with Codes of Conduct∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study self-referential games in which players can perfectly understand an opponent’s strategy, which is referred to as a code of conduct. We show a folk theorem for finite normal form games. We also provide an application of codes of conduct: games that are played through computer programs.

Codes of conduct, private information and repeated games
We examine self-referential games in which there is a chance of understanding an opponent’s intentions. Our main focus is on the interaction of two sources of information about opponents’ play: direct observation of the opponent’s code-of-conduct, and indirect observation of the opponent’s play in a repeated setting. Using both sources of information we are able to prove a “folk-like” theorem f...
متن کاملThe Robustness of Incomplete Penal Codes in Repeated Interactions
We study the robustness of equilibria with regards to small payoff perturbations of the dynamic game. We find that complete penal codes, that specify player’s strategies after every history, can have at best limited robustness and may even fail to exist for some games. We define incomplete penal codes as partial descriptions of equilibrium strategies. We construct incomplete penal codes that ar...
متن کاملhe Empirical Distribution of Good Codes
Finding the input distribution that maximizes mutual information leads, not only to the capacity of the channel, but to engineering insights that tell .the designer what good codes should be like. This is due to the folk theorem: The empirical distribution of a n y good code (i.e., approaching capacity wi th vanishing probability of error) maximizes mutual information. This paper formalizes and...
متن کاملFolk theorem with communication
This paper proves a new folk theorem for repeated games with private monitoring and communication, extending the idea of delayed communication in Compte [6] to the case where private signals are correlated. The sufficient condition for the folk theorem is generically satisfied with more than two players, even when other well-known conditions are not. The folk theorem also applies to some two-pl...

Military medicine research is vital for protection against weapons of mass destructions' specially threat of chemical and biological warfare and bioterrorism. Great advances in the life sciences, like biotechnology, genetic engineering and molecular biology have created a pressing need for steps that must be taken to reduce this threat to humanity. The biosafety regulations and code of...
