A Long-run Collaboration on Games With Long-run Patient Players

Description

This book brings together the joint work of Drew Fudenberg and David Levine (through 2008) on the closely connected topics of repeated games and reputation effects, along with related papers on more general issues in game theory and dynamic games. The unified presentation highlights the recurring themes of their work.

(D Fudenberg et al.); Reputation Effects: ; Reputation and Equilibrium Selection in Games with a Patient Player (D Fudenberg & D K Levine); Maintaining a Reputation When Strategies are Imperfectly Observed (D Fudenberg & D K Levine); Maintaining a Reputation Against a Long-Lived Opponent (M Celentani et al.); When is Reputation Bad?
