Abstract

In games of incomplete information, the analyst must specify the players' choices, payoff functions, and hierarchies of beliefs (about the payoffs of the game). The importance of correctly specifying players' choices or actual payoff functions is well understood. (See, Kreps-Wilson [8, 1982] and Milgrom-Roberts [10, 1982], amongst many others.)
