Keeping players in the dark: benefits of private monitoring

  • Takuo Sugaya

摘要

I survey the benefits of keeping players in the dark about payoff- or strategy-relevant variables in dynamic games. Topics include repeated games with private monitoring, stochastic games with incomplete information, and repeated/stochastic games with an omniscient mediator. I emphasize how keeping players in the dark reduces their deviation gains and hence possibly expands the set of equilibrium outcomes.
