Research & Publications Office to host seminar on ‘Similarity of Information in Games’ on 13 February

The talk will be delivered by Prof. Aditya Kuvalekar, University of Essex

6 February, 2025, Bengaluru: The Office of Research and Publications (R&P) will host a seminar on, ‘Similarity of Information in Games’, to be led by Prof. Aditya Kuvalekar, University of Essex (Economics area), at 2.30 pm on 13th February 2025, at Classroom-P22.

Abstract: The researchers propose a class of stochastic orders to compare the interdependence of joint distributions, that can be used to study the effect of increasing information similarity among players in a game. The orders named ‘Concentration along the Diagonal’ (CAD) capture the idea that more similar information means that conditional on receiving information, each agent believes that it is now more likely that others have also received the same information. The researchers show that for canonical binary action, symmetric, separable games, and symmetric pure strategy Bayes-Nash equilibrium, increasing similarity of information in the CAD order is equivalent to expanding (shrinking) the equilibrium set when the game exhibits strategic complementarity (substitutability).

Speaker Profile: Dr. Aditya Kuvalekar is an Assistant Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics at University of Essex. His broad area of interest is microeconomic theory. Primarily, he works in dynamic games, organizational economics and market design. He received his PhD in Economics from NYU.
