In this web appendix we demonstrate the construction of a regular type. The idea is to construct hierarchies out of “stacking” finite truncations of other hierarchies on top of each other. We illustrate with a simple example with 2 players. Let p̄ = (p1, p2, . . .) be an infinite sequence of numbers pn ∈ [0, 1] . Consider a hierarchy u p̄ according to which player i believes that the state of nat...

Semantically, the eeect of a rule like this is to put a constrai...
