1 Chapter 16: Oligopoly MARKETS WITH ONLY A FEW SELLERS
... • Strategic decisions are those in which each person, in deciding what actions to take, must consider how others might respond to that action. • Because the number of firms in an oligopolistic market is small, each firm must act strategically. • Each firm knows that its profit depends not only on ho ...

Continuous and Discontinuous Games
... There are many games in which the utility functions are not continuous (e.g. price competi tion models, congestion-competition models). For such games existence of a mixed strategy equilibrium can be established under some assumptions by using an existence result by Das gupta and Maskin [1]-[2]. F ...

The cultural evolution of emergent group-level traits

Wynne-Edwards (1962) later developed a theory of group selection in which he proposed that predators should exhibit restraint in reproduction to avoid overexploiting their resources and that such restraint could evolve as a result of being group-beneficial.
