The truth behind the myth of the Folk theorem [PDF]

open access: yesGames and Economic Behavior, 2014
We study the problem of computing an $ε$-Nash equilibrium in repeated games. Earlier work by Borgs et al. [2010] suggests that this problem is intractable. We show that if we make a slight change to their model---modeling the players as polynomial-time Turing machines that maintain state ---and make some standard cryptographic hardness assumptions (the

A Folk Theorem for Bargaining Games [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2012
We study strategies with one–period recall in the context of a general class of multilateral bargaining games. A strategy has one–period recall if actions in a particular period are only conditioned on information in the previous and the current period.

Critical Discount Factor Values in Discounted Supergames

open access: yesGames, 2018
This paper examines the subgame-perfect equilibria in symmetric 2×2 supergames. We solve the smallest discount factor value for which the players obtain all the feasible and individually rational payoffs as equilibrium payoffs.

The Folk Theorem with Imperfect Public Information [PDF]

open access: yesEconometrica, 1994
Summary: We study repeated games in which players observe a public outcome that imperfectly signals the actions played. We provide conditions guaranteeing that any feasible, individually rational payoff vector of the stage game can arise as a perfect equilibrium of the repeated game with sufficiently little discounting.

What You Gotta Know to Play Good in the Iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma

open access: yesGames, 2015
For the iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma there exist good strategies which solve the problem when we restrict attention to the long term average payoff. When used by both players, these assure the cooperative payoff for each of them.

Two-person adversarial games are zero-sum: An elaboration of a folk theorem [PDF]

open access: yesEconomics Letters
The observation that every two-person adversarial game is an affine transformation of a zero-sum game is traceable to Luce&Raiffa (1957) and made explicit in Aumann (1987). Recent work of (ADP) Adler et al.

A Few Bad Apples Spoil the Barrel: An Anti-Folk Theorem for Anonymous Repeated Games with Incomplete Information

open access: yesThe American Economic Review, 2020
We study anonymous repeated games where players may be “commitment types” who always take the same action. We establish a stark anti-folk theorem: if the distribution of the number of commitment types satisfies a smoothness condition and the game has a ...

A complete folk theorem for finitely repeated games

open access: yesInternational Journal of Game Theory, 2020
This paper analyzes the set of pure strategy subgame perfect Nash equilibria of any finitely repeated game with complete information and perfect monitoring.

The Folk Theorem in Repeated Games With Anonymous Random Matching

open access: yes, 2020
We prove the folk theorem for discounted repeated games with anonymous random matching. We allow non‐uniform matching, include asymmetric payoffs, and place no restrictions on the stage game other than full dimensionality.
