Abstract

An autonomous correlation device in a multistage game is a device that, before every stage, chooses for each player a private signal, possibly in a correlated way, and reveals to each player the signal chosen for him. The chosen signals depend only on previous signals, and not on the actions of the players. An extensive-form correlated \(\varepsilon \)-equilibrium in a multistage game is an \(\varepsilon \)-equilibrium in an extended game that includes an autonomous correlation device. In this paper we prove that every stochastic game with Borel measurable bounded payoffs has an extensive-form correlated \(\varepsilon \)-equilibrium, for every \(\varepsilon >0\).

Fußnoten
1
A Blackwell game is a two-player zero-sum game that is played for infinitely many stages. At each stage the players simultaneously make their moves and are then informed of each other’s moves. Payoff is determined by a Borel measurable function on the set of possible resulting sequences of moves.
 
2
One could assume that play goes on without any further influence on the payoffs, so as to make the horizon infinite.
 
3
If \(|I|>2\), the players may use a correlated profile to punish a deviator. In this case, the device is also used to implement the punishment phase.
 
4
Throughout the paper, we use the notation \(g^i_h\) also for the expected payoff of player \(i\) under a mixed or a correlated profile.
