Decisions, Games and Equilibrium Solutions
PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association 1988:344 - 362 (1988)
| Abstract | This paper includes a survey of decision theories directed toward exploring the adequacy of alternative approaches for application to game theoretic reasoning, a review of the classic results of von Neumann and Morgenstern and Nash about equilibrium solutions, an account of a recent challenge to the idea that solutions should be equilibria, and, finally, an explicit reconstruction and defense (using the resources of causal decision theory) of the classic indirect argument for equilibrium solutions. | |||||||||
