Nash, however, only applies this optimality condition at the beginning of the game. Hence, some Nash equilibria of dynamic games involve incredible threats.

The refinements of the Nash equilibrium concept surveyed in this section are all attempts to extend the spirit of Selten's [1965] definition of subgame perfection to games with imperfect information. To begin, we review the effect of subgame perfection in games of perfect information and the problems that arise with imperfect information.
