1. 1 Nash Demand Game Nash Program (non cooperative games) Demand Game S Topics 3

2. 2 Nash Demand Game S x Too many equilibria !! Nash’s Solution: Perturb the game’s payoffs, Introduce noise (uncertainty) and then reduce it to 0 (Perfect- trembling hand- Equilibrium) Games with similar payoffs should have similar equilibria Nash Equilibria of

3. 3 Nash Demand Game S 1 0 Uncertainty about the boundary iso-probability curves

4. 4 Nash Demand Game S 1 0 define a new game

5. 5 Nash Demand Game S 1 0 Uncertainty about the boundary S 1 0 or define on a narrower band of uncertainty

6. 6 Nash Demand Game S 1 0 Uncertainty about the boundary S 1 0 Define a sequence of with uncertainty bands converging to 0

7. 7 Nash Demand Game S 1 0 S 1 0

8. 8 Equilibria

9. 9 Nash Demand Game Solving the game

10. 10 Nash Demand Game Solving the game Denote: S 1 0 ???

11. 11 Nash Demand Game Solving the game S 1 0 ???

12. 12 Nash Demand Game Solving the game S 1 0 A Nash Equilibrium of the perturbed game is a Nash Barganing solution of a bargaining problem defined by the frontier (There may be multiple equilibria)

13. 13 Nash Demand Game Solving the game S 1 0 converge to the Nash bargaining the solution of the unperturbed game As the uncertainty band vanishes the Nash Equilibria of the perturbed game
