Balance and discontinuities in infinite games with type-dependent strategies

Maxwell Stinchcombe ()

Journal of Economic Theory, 2011, vol. 146, issue 2, 656-671

Abstract: Under study are games in which players receive private signals and then simultaneously choose actions from compact sets. Payoffs are measurable in signals and jointly continuous in actions. Stinchcombe (2011) [19] proves the existence of correlated equilibria for this class of games. This paper is a study of the information structures for these games, the discontinuous expected utility functions they give rise to, and the notion of a balanced approximation to an infinite game with discontinuous payoffs.
