After a number of years this page contains new topics.  There are also links to some of the readings for these topics.  In view of the lack of detail these topics are presented here rather than in a pdf file as I had in the earlier version.


  1. Survey the literature on equilibrium refinements, explain how the various refinements are related.  Give a reasonably comprehensive listing of the example games that have been used to illustrate the various "facts" of this literature.
  2. Survey the literature on epistemic approaches to strategic equilibrium.  Critically evaluate the approaches of different authors, identifying where they agree and where they disagree.
