More concepts to explore

  • Bayesian games

    Players' private types and beliefs extend strategic analysis to incomplete information.

  • Mechanism design

    Rules are chosen to induce desired outcomes from strategic participants.

  • Mixed strategies

    A mixed strategy is a probability distribution over pure strategies.

  • Probability

    A probability measure assigns nonnegative weights to events, with total weight one and countable additivity on disjoint events.

  • Backward induction

    Reasoning backward from terminal choices solves finite perfect-information games under appropriate preferences.
