Biased-Belief Equilibrium

2020-06-27

We investigate how distorted, yet structured, beliefs can persist in strategic situations. Specifically, we study two-player games in which each player is endowed with a biased-belief function that represents the discrepancy between a player's beliefs about the opponent's strategy and the actual strategy. Our equilibrium condition requires that (i) each player choose a best-response strategy to his distorted belief about the opponent's strategy, and (ii) the distortion functions form best responses to one another. We obtain sharp predictions and novel insights into the set of stable outcomes and their supporting stable biases in various classes of games.

Implicit Posterior Variational Inference for Deep Gaussian Processes

2019-10-26 · NeurIPS 2019 12 · Haibin Yu, Yizhou Chen, Zhongxiang Dai, Kian Hsiang Low 외

A multi-layer deep Gaussian process (DGP) model is a hierarchical composition of GP models with a greater expressive power. Exact DGP inference is intractable, which has motivated the recent development of deterministic …

Berk-Nash Equilibrium: A Framework for Modeling Agents with Misspecified Models

2019-11-21

We develop an equilibrium framework that relaxes the standard assumption that people have a correctly-specified view of their environment. Each player is characterized by a (possibly misspecified) subjective model, which…

Statistical Equilibrium of Optimistic Beliefs

2025-02-13 · Yu Gui, Bahar Taşkesen

We introduce the Statistical Equilibrium of Optimistic Beliefs (SE-OB) for the mixed extension of finite normal-form games, drawing insights from discrete choice theory. Departing from the conventional best responders of…

S Equilibrium: A Synthesis of (Behavioral) Game Theory

2023-07-12 · Jacob K Goeree, Bernardo Garcia-Pola

$S$ equilibrium synthesizes a century of game-theoretic modeling. $S$-beliefs determine choices as in the refinement literature and level-$k$, without anchoring on Nash equilibrium or imposing ad hoc belief formation. $S…

A maximum entropy model of bounded rational decision-making with prior beliefs and market feedback

2021-02-18 · Benjamin Patrick Evans, Mikhail Prokopenko

Bounded rationality is an important consideration stemming from the fact that agents often have limits on their processing abilities, making the assumption of perfect rationality inapplicable to many real tasks. We propo…
