AI Thread Summary
In the discussion, the focus is on proving that every Nash Equilibrium (NE) in the Centipede game involves players defecting in the first period. The inquiry seeks clarification on whether any strategy profile that includes selling in the first period qualifies as a NE. Additionally, there is a request for an explanation of the conditions that a strategy pair must meet to be considered a NE. The conversation emphasizes understanding the dynamics of strategy choices in the Centipede game and the implications of these choices on equilibrium outcomes.

Hi guys,

I would much appreciate your help. Could anyone explain to me how is it possible to prove that every Nash Equilibrium in Centipede involves players defecting in the first period. Also, is any strategy profile involving selling in the first period a NE? I know how to get unique SPNE, but the other problem seems confusing.

Thanks a lot!

Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
