    English is the first foreign language taught as a compulsory subject in Junior and High School English is also a course offered as a required subject in most university and other higher education. In English, reading is one of the four language skill that plays an important role in the student s’ success. In teaching reading, textbook is one of the most important factors determining the success of learning. In teaching and learning process, syllabus is used to determining what is to be learnt. The purpose of this study is to know: a) the prescribed Reading books used by the teacher of Reading III; b) the exercise on the prescribed in line with the course outline or not. The research design of this study is descriptive and the sources of data are the prescribed books of Reading III. This research used documentation as an instrument and also interviews to get the data. The result of this study can be concluded that the teachers of Reading III used different prescribed textbook. Book for class A and B is Choice Reading (Mark A. Clark). Books for class C are Developing Skills (L.G. Alexander); How To Prepare For The TOEFL-Test of English As A Foreign Language (9th ed.) (Pamela J. Sharpe, Ph.D.); Interaction II- A Reading Skills Book (2nd ed.)

    On the Existence of Monotone Pure Strategy Equilibria in Bayesian Games

    Get PDF
    We generalize Athey's (2001) and McAdams' (2003) results on the existence of monotone pure strategy equilibria in Bayesian games. We allow action spaces to be compact locally-complete metrizable semilattices and type spaces to be partially ordered probability spaces. Our proof is based upon contractibility rather than convexity of best reply sets. Several examples illustrate the scope of the result, including new applications to multi-unit auctions with risk-averse bidders.

    Separate selling of two independent goods is shown to yield at least 62% of the optimal revenue, and at least 73% when the goods satisfy the Myerson regularity condition. This improves the 50% result of Hart and Nisan (2017, originally circulated in 2012)

    Reinterpreting Mixed Strategy Equilibria: A Unification of the Classical and Bayesian Views

    Get PDF
    We provide a new interpretation of mixed strategy equilibria that incorporates both von Neumann and Morgenstern's classical concealment role of mixing as well as the more recent Bayesian view originating with Harsanyi. For any two-person game, G, we consider an incomplete information game, IG, in which each player's type is the probability he assigns to the event that his mixed strategy in G is 'found out' by his opponent. We show that, generically, any regular equilibrium of G can be approximated by an equilibrium of IG in which almost every type of each player is strictly optimizing. This leads us to interpret i's equilibrium mixed strategy in G as a combination of deliberate randomization by i together with uncertainty on j's part about which randomization i will employ. We also show that such randomization is not unusual: For example, i's randomization is nondegenerate whenever the support of an equilibrium contains cyclic best replies.

    Existence of subgame perfect equilibrium with public randomization: A short proof

    Get PDF
    Consider a multi-stage game where each player has a compact choice set and payoffs are continuous in all such choices. Harris, Reny and Robson (1995) prove existence of a subgame perfect equilibrium as long as a public correlation device is added to each stage. They achieve this by showing that the subgame perfect equilibium path correspondence is upper hemicontinuous. The present paper gives a short proof of existence that focuses on equilibrium payoffs rather than paths.Existence
