    Nash Equilibrium and information transmission coding and decoding rules

    The design of equilibrium protocols in sender-receiver games where communication is noisy occupies an important place in the Economic literature. This paper shows that the common way of constructing a noisy channel communication protocol in Information Theory does not necessarily lead to a Nash equilibrium. Given the decoding scheme, it may happen that, given some state, it is better for the sender to transmit a message that is different from that prescribed by the codebook. Similarly, when the sender uses the codebook as prescribed, the receiver may sometimes prefer to deviate from the decoding scheme when receiving a message.Noisy channel, Shannon's Theorem, sender-receiver games, Nash equilibrium

    Pragmatic Languages with Universal Grammars

    This paper shows the existence of an equilibrium pragmatic Language with a universal grammar as a coordination device under communication misunderstandings. Such a language plays a key role in achieving efficient outcomes in those Sender-Receiver games where there may exist noisy information transmission. The Language is pragmatic in the sense that the Receiver’ best response depends on the context, i.e, on the payoffs and on the initial probability distribution of the states of nature of the underlying game. The Language has a universal grammar because the coding rule does not depend on such specific parameters and can then be applied to any Sender-Receiver game with noisy communication.grammar, pragmatic language, prototypes, separating equilibria

    - UNMEDIATED TALK UNDER INCOMPLETE INFORMATION

    Get PDF
    We show the role of unmediated plain conversation as both an information transmission and a coordination device for the class of two-player incomplete information games. Concretely, we proove that any communication equilibrium payoff of such games can be reached as a Nash equilibrium payoff of the game extended by a two phase (exante and interim) unmediated communication protocol. This protocol is constructed by using communicative one-way functions, which are, in turn, designed with the help of modern cryptographic tools. A familiar context in which our results could be applied is bilateral trading with incomplete information.Unmediated community, correlated equilibrium

    Gradual transition from insulator to semimetal of Ca1−x_{1-x}Eux_{x}B6_{6} with increasing Eu concentration

    The local environment of Eu2+^{2+} (4f74f^{7}, S=7/2S=7/2) in Ca1−x_{1-x}Eux_{x}B6_{6} (0.003⩽x⩽1.000.003\leqslant x\leqslant 1.00) is investigated by means of electron spin resonance (ESR). For x≲0.003x\lesssim 0.003 the spectra show resolved \textit{fine} and \textit{hyperfine} structures due to the cubic crystal \textit{electric} field and nuclear \textit{hyperfine} field, respectively. The resonances have Lorentzian line shape, indicating an \textit{insulating} environment for the Eu2+^{2+} ions. For 0.003≲x≲0.070.003\lesssim x\lesssim 0.07, as xx increases, the ESR lines broaden due to local distortions caused by the Eu/Ca ions substitution. For 0.07≲x≲0.300.07\lesssim x\lesssim 0.30, the lines broaden further and the spectra gradually change from Lorentzian to Dysonian resonances, suggesting a coexistence of both \textit{insulating} and \textit{metallic} environments for the Eu2+^{2+} ions. In contrast to Ca1−x_{1-x}Gdx_{x}B6_{6}, the \textit{fine} structure is still observable up to x≈0.15x\approx 0.15. For x≳0.30x\gtrsim 0.30 the \textit{fine} and \textit{hyperfine} structures are no longer observed, the line width increases, and the line shape is purely Dysonian anticipating the \textit{semimetallic} character of EuB6_{6}. This broadening is attributed to a spin-flip scattering relaxation process due to the exchange interaction between conduction and Eu2+^{2+} 4f4f electrons. High field ESR measurements for x≳0.15x\gtrsim 0.15 reveal smaller and anisotropic line widths, which are attributed to magnetic polarons and Fermi surface effects, respectively.Comment: Submitted to PR
