When Order matters for Iterated Strict Dominance

Martin Dufwenberg and Mark Stegeman

No 1999:2, Research Papers in Economics from Stockholm University, Department of Economics

Abstract: We demonstrate that iterated elimination of strictly dominated strategies is an order dependent procedure. We also prove that order does not matter if strategy spaces are compact and payoff functions continous. Examples show that this result is tight.
