Abstract

Static equilibria can be viewed as steady states of recurring play of a game. Such steady states in which players do not perfectly observe the actions of others need not be Nash equilibria. This paper suggests a static solution concept, rationalizable conjectural equilibrium, that corresponds to such steady states. To present it, the basic model of a normal form game is enriched by specifying the signals that players get about others′ actions. The solution is a profile of actions such that each player′s action is optimal given that it is common knowledge that all players maximize utility given their signals.
