  • A Simple Adaptive Procedure Leading to Correlated Equilibrium1
    Econometrica, Vol. 68, No. 5Ž. September, 2000 , 1127᎐1150 A SIMPLE ADAPTIVE PROCEDURE LEADING TO CORRELATED EQUILIBRIUM1 BY SERGIU HART AND ANDREU MAS-COLELL2 We propose a new and simple adaptive procedure for playing a game: ‘‘regret-match- ing.’’ In this procedure, players may depart from their current play with probabilities that are proportional to measures of regret for not having used other strategies in the past. It is shown that our adaptive procedure guarantees that, with probability one, the empirical distributions of play converge to the set of correlated equilibria of the game. KEYWORDS: Adaptive procedure, correlated equilibrium, no regret, regret-matching, simple strategies. 1. INTRODUCTION THE LEADING NONCOOPERATIVE EQUILIBRIUM NOTIONS for N-person games in strategicŽ. normal form are Nash equilibrium Ž and its refinements . and corre- lated equilibrium. In this paper we focus on the concept of correlated equilib- rium. A correlated equilibriumᎏa notion introduced by AumannŽ. 1974 ᎏcan be described as follows: Assume that, before the game is played, each player receives a private signalŽ. which does not affect the payoffs . The player may then choose his action in the game depending on this signal. A correlated equilibrium of the original game is just a Nash equilibrium of the game with the signals. Considering all possible signal structures generates all correlated equilibria. If the signals areŽ. stochastically independent across the players, it is a Nash equilibriumŽ. in mixed or pure strategies of the original game. But the signals could well be correlated, in which case new equilibria may obtain. Equivalently, a correlated equilibrium is a probability distribution on N-tuples of actions, which can be interpreted as the distribution of play instructions given to the players by some ‘‘device’’ or ‘‘referee.’’ Each player is givenᎏprivatelyᎏ instructions for his own play only; the joint distribution is known to all of them.

  • Faster Regret Matching
    Faster Regret Matching Dawen Wu Peking University December 2019 Abstract The regret matching algorithm proposed by Sergiu Hart is one of the most powerful iterative methods in finding correlated equilibrium. How- ever, it is possibly not efficient enough, especially in large scale problems. We first rewrite the algorithm in a computationally practical way based on the idea of the regret matrix. Moreover, the rewriting makes the orig- inal algorithm more easy to understand. Then by some modification to the original algorithm, we introduce a novel variant, namely faster regret matching. The experiment result shows that the novel algorithm has a speed advantage comparing to the original one. 1 Introduction 1.1 Game Game theory is a well-studied discipline that analysis situations of competition and cooperation between several involved players. It has a tremendous appli- cation in many areas, such as economic, warfare strategic, cloud computing. Furthermore, there are some studies about using the game theory to interpret machine learning model in recent years [1, 2]. One of the milestones in game theory [3, 4, 5] is, John von Neumann proved the famous minimax theorem for zero-sum games and showed that there is a arXiv:2001.05318v1 [cs.GT] 14 Jan 2020 stable equilibrium point for a two-player zero-sum game [6]. Later, another pioneer, John Nash proved that, at every n-player general sum game with a finite number of actions for each player, there must exist at least one Nash equilibrium. i i We now give a formal math definition of a game. Let Γ = N; S i2N ; u i2N be a finite action N-person game.

Bayesian Game Theorists and Non-Bayesian Players* Guilhem Lecouteux GREDEG Working Paper No. 2017-30 Revised version July 2018 Abstract (100 words): Bayesian game theorists claim to represent players as Bayes rational agents, maximising their expected utility given their beliefs about the choices of other players. I argue that this narrative is inconsistent with the formal structure of Bayesian game theory. This is because (i) the assumption of common belief in rationality is equivalent to equilibrium play, as in classical game theory, and (ii) the players' prior beliefs are a mere mathematical artefact and not actual beliefs hold by the players. Bayesian game theory is thus a Bayesian representation of the choice of players who are committed to play equilibrium strategy profiles.

  • Three Lectures on the Theory of Money and Financial Institutions
    THREE LECTURES ON THE THEORY OF MONEY AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS LECTURE 1: A NONTECHNICAL OVERVIEW By Martin Shubik April 2016 COWLES FOUNDATION DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 2036 COWLES FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS YALE UNIVERSITY Box 208281 New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8281 http://cowles.yale.edu/ Three Lectures on the Theory of Money and Financial Institutions Lecture 1: A Nontechnical Overview* Martin Shubik† April 13, 2016 Abstract This is a nontechnical, retrospective paper on a game theoretic approach to the theory of money and financial institutions. The stress is on process models and the reconciliation of general equilibrium with Keynes and Schumpeter’s approaches to non-equilibrium dynamics. Keywords: bankruptcy, innovation, growth, competition, price-formation JEL codes: C7, E12 Preamble This is the first of three essays on a primarily game theoretic approach to the theory of money and financial institutions. I wish to cover 68 years of work that can be broken conveniently into four overlapping parts: 1948-1961 when I was working primarily with games in coalitional form and with oligopoly theory using games in strategic or extensive form when I first became concerned with the essentially unsatisfactory state of both micro- and macro-economics in their treatment of economic dynamics. 1961-1971 when I had decided that the apparently intractable problem that I wished to pursue was the development of a decent strategic microeconomic theory of money. During this period I spent a great deal of time building highly unsatisfactory models *Cowles Foundation Lunch Talk, April 27, 2016 †Yale University, 30 Hillhouse Ave., New Haven, CT 06520, USA, [email protected] 1 that I ended up destroying having made no progress.

  • An Interview with Robert Aumann Sergiu Hart (Jerusalem)
    Interview An interview with Robert Aumann Sergiu Hart (Jerusalem) The Royal Swedish Academy has awarded the Bank of Swe- den Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, 2005, jointly to Robert J. Aumann, Center for the Study of Rationality, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, and to Thomas C. Schelling, Department of Economics and School of Public Policy, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA, “for having enhanced our understanding of conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis”. The Newsletter is glad to be able to publish excerpts of an interview that Sergiu Hart (Aumann’s colleague at the Center for the Study of Rationality) conducted with Aumann in 2004. The complete interview was published in the journal Macroeconomic Dy- namics 9 (5), pp. 683–740 (2005), c Cambridge University Press. We thank Prof. Aumann, Prof. Hart and Cambridge University Press for the reproduction permission and Prof. Schulze-Pillot from DMV-Mitteilungen for the compilation of these excerpts. Who is Robert Aumann? Is he an economist or a mathemati- cian? A rational scientist or a deeply religious man? A deep thinker or an easygoing person? Bob Aumann, circa 2000 These seemingly disparate qualities can all be found in Aumann; all are essential facets of his personality. A pure mathematician who is a renowned economist, he has been Sergiu HART: Good morning, Professor Aumann. Let’s a central figure in developing game theory and establishing start with your scientific biography, namely, what were the its key role in modern economics.
