A Generalized Equilibrium Solution Concept for Game Theory

Creator:	Bryant, John B.
Series:	Working paper (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Research Department)
Number:	175
Abstract:	Game theory is both at the heart of economics and without a definitive solution. This paper proposes a solution.

First we provide a set theoretic perspective from which to view game theory, and then present and discuss the proposed solution.
