A relation between perfect equilibria in extensive form games and proper equilibria in normal form games (original) (raw)
Abstract
The concept of quasi-perfect equilibria for games in extensive form is introduced. It is shown that a proper equilibrium of a normal form game induces a quasi-perfect equilibrium in every extensive form game having this normal form.
