Abstract

The result that says the sequence of iterations x k + 1 = f ( x k ) converges if f : [ 0 , 1 ] → [ 0 , 1 ] is an increasing function has numerous applications in elementary economic analysis. I generalize this simple result to some mappings f : S ⊂ [ 0 , 1 ] n → S . The applications of the new result include the convergence of the best-response dynamics in the general version of the Crawford and Sobel model and in some versions of the Hotelling and Tiebout models.
