But who will monitor the monitor?

D Rahman - American Economic Review, 2012 - aeaweb.org
Suppose that providing incentives for a group of individuals in a strategic context requires a
monitor to detect their deviations. What about the monitor's deviations? To address this …

Zero-determinant strategies in iterated public goods game

L Pan, D Hao, Z Rong, T Zhou - Scientific reports, 2015 - nature.com
Abstract Recently, Press and Dyson have proposed a new class of probabilistic and
conditional strategies for the two-player iterated Prisoner's Dilemma, so-called zero …

A theory of regular Markov perfect equilibria in dynamic stochastic games: Genericity, stability, and purification

U Doraszelski, JF Escobar - Theoretical Economics, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
This paper studies generic properties of Markov perfect equilibria in dynamic stochastic
games. We show that almost all dynamic stochastic games have a finite number of locally …

Maintaining privacy in cartels

T Sugaya, A Wolitzky - Journal of Political Economy, 2018 - journals.uchicago.edu
It is conventional wisdom that transparency in cartels—monitoring of competitors' prices,
sales, and profits—facilitates collusion. However, in several recent cases cartels have …

Bounding equilibrium payoffs in repeated games with private monitoring

T Sugaya, A Wolitzky - Theoretical Economics, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We provide a simple sufficient condition for the existence of a recursive upper bound on (the
Pareto frontier of) the sequential equilibrium payoff set at a fixed discount factor in two …

Weakly belief‐free equilibria in repeated games with private monitoring

M Kandori - Econometrica, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Repeated games with imperfect private monitoring have a wide range of applications, but a
complete characterization of all equilibria in this class of games has yet to be obtained. The …

Signaling with Private Monitoring

G Cisternas, A Kolb - Review of Economic Studies, 2024 - academic.oup.com
We study dynamic signalling when the sender does not see the signals that her actions
generate. The sender then uses her past play to forecast what a receiver believes, in turn …

Restricted feedback in long term relationships

U Doraszelski, JF Escobar - Journal of Economic Theory, 2012 - Elsevier
This paper studies long term relationships, modeled as repeated games, with restricted
feedback. Players condition current play on summary statistics of past play rather than the …

When (not) to publicize inspection results

E Solan, C Zhao - Journal of Economic Theory, 2023 - Elsevier
We consider a dynamic inspection problem between a principal and several agents. The
principal observes the full inspection history, whereas each agent only observes inspections …
