Self-Admissible sets

Adam Brandenburger, Amanda Friedenberg

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Best-response sets (Pearce [1984]) characterize the epistemic condition of "rationality and common belief of rationality."When rationality incorporates a weak-dominance (admissibility) requirement, the self-Admissible set (SAS) concept (Brandenburger, Friedenberg, and Keisler [2008]) characterizes "rationality and common assumption of rationality."We analyze the behavior of SAS's in some games of interest-Centipede, the Finitely Repeated Prisoner's Dilemma, and Chain Store. We then establish some general properties of SAS's, including a characterization in perfect-information games.
