Evolution leads to Kantian morality
... Economics traditionally takes individuals’ motivations–their preferences–as given. Hence, the predictive power of economic models depends on the assumptions made regarding these motivations. But if preferences are inherited from past generations, a theory of their evolutionary foundation is called f ...

... σ of the equivalence class is an “almost everywhere” interim BNE, meaning that, for every player i and µ -a.e. type ti ∈ Ti , σi (ti ) is a best response to σ−i (whereas for an interim BNE, this should hold for every ti ∈ Ti ). Remark 1. The important commonality of a common prior is that players ag ...

Nash Q-Learning for General-Sum Stochastic Games

Whereas it is possible to apply Q-learning in a straightforward fashion to each agent in a multiagent system, doing so (as recognized in several of the studies cited above) neglects two issues specific to the multiagent context. First, the environment consists of other agents who are similarly adapt ...
