Public randomization in the repeated prisoner's dilemma game with local interaction

Author

Listed:
  • Cho, Myeonghwan

Abstract

We consider a situation in which each agent observes only their neighbor's actions and locally interacts with them by playing prisoner's dilemma games. Introducing a public randomization, we construct an equilibrium which sustains cooperation and in which cooperation eventually resumes after any history.
