Partially constructed sequential equilibrium

Abstract: This article identifies sufficient conditions under which a partial construction of sequential equilibrium—characterizing beliefs and behavior for only a subset of the information sets—is sufficient for the existence of a sequential equilibrium that coincides with the partial construction in a suitable way. Illustrative applications are also presented.
