1 Robust Predictions in Gmes with Incomplete Informtion Dirk Bergemnn nd Stephen Morris Northwestern University Mrch, 30th, 2011
2 Introduction gme theoretic predictions re very sensitive to "higher order beliefs" or (equivlently) informtion structure higher order beliefs re rrely observed wht predictions cn we mke nd nlysis cn we do if we do not observe higher order beliefs?
3 Agend: Robust Predictions x "pyo relevnt environment" = ction sets, pyo -relevnt vribles ("sttes"), pyo functions, distribution over sttes = incomplete informtion gme without higher order beliefs bout sttes nlyze wht could hppen for ll possible higher order beliefs (mintining common prior ssumption nd equilibrium ssumptions) mke set vlued predictions bout joint distribution of ctions nd sttes
4 Agend: Robust Identi ction hving identi ed mpping from "pyo relevnt environment" to ction-stte distributions, we cn nlyze its inverse: sssume pyo relevnt environment is observed by the econometricin given knowledge of the ction-stte distribution distribution, or some moments of it, wht cn be deduced bout the pyo relevnt environment? prtil identi ction / set identi ction
5 Agend: Robust Comprtive Sttics / Policy Anlysis wht cn sy bout the impct of chnges in prmeters of the pyo relevnt environment (for exmple, policy choices) for the set of possible outcomes? robust informtion policy robust txtion policy
6 Prtil Informtion bout Informtion Structure perhps you don t observe ll higher order beliefs but you re sure of some spects of the informtion structure: you re sure tht bidders know their privte vlues of n object in n uction, but you hve no ide wht their beliefs nd higher order beliefs bout others privte vlues re... you re sure tht oligopolists know their own costs, but you hve no ide wht beliefs nd higher order beliefs bout demnd nd others privte vlues. wht cn you sy then?

18 Pyo Environment: Qudrtic Pyo s utility of ech gent i is given by qudrtic pyo function: determined by individul ction i 2 R, stte of the world 2 R, nd verge ction A 2 R: nd thus u i ( i ; A; ) = A 1 A 0 i A 1 0 A A = i A 1 A Z i di A A A A A gme is completely described by liner returns nd interction mtrix = ij 1 0 i A 1 A
19 Pyo Environment: Norml Pyo s the stte of the world is normlly distributed N ; 2 with men 2 R nd vrince 2 2 R + the distribution of the stte of the world,, is commonly known common prior

25 Stndrd Approch the best response of ech gent is: = 1 ( E [ jx; y ] + A E [A jx; y ]) suppose the equilibrium strtegy is given by liner function: (x; y) = 0 + x x + y y, denote the sum of the precisions: 2 = 2 + x 2 + y 2
26 Byesin Nsh equilibrium Theorem The unique Byesin Nsh equilibrium (given the bivrite informtion structure) is liner equilibrium, 0 + x x + y y, with nd y = x = 2 x A 2 x + 2 ; y 2 + A A x 2 + : 2

32 Equilibrium Anlysis in the complete informtion gme, the best response is: = A A best response is weighted liner combintion of fundmentl nd verge ction A reltive to the cost of ction: = ; A = in the incomplete informtion gme, nd A re uncertin: E [] ; E [A] given the correlted equilibrium distribution (; ) we cn use the conditionl expecttions: E [ j] ; E [A j]
33 Equilibrium Conditions in the incomplete informtion gme, the best response is: = E [ j] E [A j] A best response property hs to hold for ll 2 supp (; ) fortiori, the best response property hs to hold in expecttions over ll : E [] = E E [ j] + E [A j] A by the lw of iterted expecttion, or lw of totl expecttion: E [E [ j]] = ; E [E [A j]] = E [A] = E [] ;
34 Equilibrium Moments: Men the best response property implies tht for ll (; ) : E [] = E E [ j] + E [A j] A or by the lw of iterted expecttion: = A Theorem (First Moment) In ll Byes correlted equilibri, the men ction is given by: E [] = + A : result bout men ction is independent of symmetry or norml distribution

39 Informtion Bounds the nlyst my not know how much privte informtion the gents hve, yet he my hve lower bound on how much informtion the gents hve how does the set of BCE chnge with the lower bound ssume tht ll gents observe public signl y : y = + " nd privte signl x i x i = + " i with " " i N ; y x
40 Informtion Bounds nd Correlted Equilibrium the equilibrium conditions re now ugmented from for ll to for ll ; x; y : = 1 ( E [ j; x; y ] + A E [A j; x; y ]) ; 8; x; y. we determine ; x ; y in terms of ;, e.g.: y = + A y + A 2 set of correlted equilibri is given by the inequlities: 2 2 y 0; 1 x 0;

46 Identi ction with Complete Informtion Proposition (Sign Identi ction) 1. Nsh equilibrium identi es the sign of ; but not the sign of A. 2. Nsh equilibrium point identi es the rtios: + A nd + A : the sign of the strtegic interction, A, cnnot be identi ed, due to the perfect correltion of the gents ction in the complete informtion gme
47 Identi ction with Incomplete Informtion: Byes Nsh the informtion structure 2 x ; 2 y of the Byesin gme is ssumed to be known the identi ction, given the hypothesis of Byes Nsh equilibrium, uses the vrince-covrince mtrix of ctions nd sttes: 2 A; = y 2 y + 2 ( x + y ) 2 2 ( x + y ) 2 ( x + y ) the reltionship between equilibrium coe cients y = x 2 x 2 y + A lends informtion bout the sign of A 2

54 Aggregte Informtion nd Identi ction suppose we could only observe the ggregte (verge) ction, but not idiosyncrtic ction pro le would we lose (much) in identi ction power in Byes Nsh equilibrium, we would not lose ny identi ction result, in Byes Correlted equilibrium, we lose informtion, s remining restriction is wek: 2
