Corvinus Game Theory Seminar

May 16 (14:30-15:30) room C.714 Endre Csóka (Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics) Title: Guaranteed utility equilibrium Abstract: We introduce a novel equilibrium concept called guaranteed utility equilibrium (GUE). A profile of strategies forms a guaranteed utility equilibrium if every agent can obtain Continue Reading …
