Payoff-dependent mistakes and q-resistant equilibrium

Author

Listed:
  • Yi, Kang-Oh

Abstract

This paper proposes an extension of p-dominance called q-resistant equilibrium, which has the largest resistance to payoff-dependent mistakes. The selection could differ from the risk-dominant equilibrium, and a sufficient condition for a q-resistant equilibrium to follow risk-dominance is provided.
