Abstract

A repeated game without communication between players is in Nash equilibrium if no player has incentive to change strategy unilaterally. Game-theoretical equilibrium is different. It occurs when no player sees incentives to change strategy unilaterally. A game may be in Nash equilibrium and not in game-theoretical equilibrium due to mistaken judgment. The advantage of Nash equilibrium over game-theoretical one is obvious. The advantage of game-theoretical equilibrium over Nash equilibrium is this. A mistaken move is commoner than the choice of the best move available. Considerations of both kinds bring game theory nearer to Wald’s decision theory.
