It follows that the open-loop Nash solution requires that each country pre-commits itself to a path of investment in arms and that the expectations of each other's paths of investment are correct in equilibrium.
An equilibrium solution is subgame-perfect if for each subgame over a remainder of the planning period, the relevant part of the solution is also a Nash equilibrium.
Subgame perfectness rules out threat equilibria, which rely on information patterns with memory, and equilibria which imply future investments that are not rational to carry out if called upon to do so in the future.

 EconPort - Handbook - Game Theory - Dynamic Games of Incomplete Information
Perfect Bayesian equilibrium (PBE) was invented in order to refine Bayesian Nash equilibrium in a way that is similar to how subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium refines Nash equilibrium.
To determine which of these Nash equilibria are subgame perfect, we use the extensive form representation to define the game's subgames.
The crucial new feature of this equilibrium concept is due to Kreps and Wilson (1982): beliefs are elevated to the level of importance of strategies in the definition of equilibrium.

A Nash equilibrium is a situation in which each player makes his or her best response, that is, plays the strategy that maximizes his payoff, given the strategies of other players.

A subgame perfect Nash equilibrium is a Nash equilibrium in which every player's strategy is credible (no player makes incredible threats).
Equilibrium savings rises (because the equilibrium quantity of loans is the same as equilibrium savings) and equilibrium consumption falls.
One Nash equilibrium is for the monopoly to play the strategy, "high price regardless of whether the new firm enters," and the new firm enters.

 Coalition-Stable Equilibria in Repeated Games
It is well-known that subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium does not eliminate incentives for joint-deviations or renegotiations.
This paper presents a systematic framework for studying non-cooperative games with group incentives, and offers a notion of equilibrium that refines the Nash theory in a natural way and answers to most questions raised in the renegotiation-proof and coalition-proof literature.
Intuitively, I require that an equilibrium should not prescribe in any subgame a course of action that some coalition of players would jointly wish to deviate, given the restriction that every deviation must itself be self-enforcing and hence invulnerable to further self-enforcing deviations.

We show that with at most ve players the full cooperation structure results according to a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium.
Moreover, if the game is strictly convex then every subgame perfect Nash equilibrium results in a structure that is payo equivalent to the full cooperation structure.
We show that there exists a subgame Nash equilibrium that results in an incomplete structure in which two players are worse o than in the full cooperation structure, whereas four players are better o ....

 AMCA: Incomplete stable structures in symmetric convex games by Marco Slikker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Aumann and Myerson (1988) already note that for a superadditive game this process may lead to partial cooperation according to the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium concept.
Additionally, we analyze a 6-person symmetric (strictly) convex game, which illustrates that the arguments that suffice to show that the full cooperation structure can result in symmetric convex games with at most 5 players, cannot be extended to games with 6 (or more) players.
In fact, we show that in this 6-person symmetric convex game, according to the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium concept, structures can result in which two players receive strictly less than they would according to the full cooperation structure and four players receive strictly more than they would according to the full cooperation structure.

 University of Trento - Italy - UNITN-Eprints - On the Behavior of Proposers in Ultimatum Games
We demonstrate that one should not expect convergence of the proposals to the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium offer in standard ultimatum games.
Second, considering a range of learning theories (from optimal to boundedly rational), we explain that this is an inherent feature of the learning task faced by the proposers, and we provide some insights into the actual learning behavior of the experimental subjects.
This explanation for the lack of convergence to the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium in ultimatum games complements most alternative explanations.

 S-WoPEc: Social Networks and Crime Decisions: The Role of Social Structure in Facilitating Delinquent Behavior
By taking the social network connecting agents as given, we study the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium of this game in which individuals decide first to work or to become a criminal and then the crime effort provided if criminals.
We also show that multiple equilibria with different number of active criminals and levels of involvement in rime activities may coexist and are only driven by the geometry of the pattern of links connecting criminals.
Using the equilibrium concept of pairwise-stable networks, we then show that the multiplicity of equilibrium outcomes holds even when we allow for endogenous network formation.

 AMCA: Subgame perfect implementation, a full characterization by Hannu Vartiainen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Moore and Repullo (1988, Econometrica), and Abreu and Sen (1990, JET) show that more social choice correspondences (SCCs) can be implemented in subgame perfect Nash equilibrium (SPE) than in Nash equilibrium.
They characterize a complex condition (called " alpha") which is necessary for SPE implementation, and which, if the number of players is at least three, together with no-veto power (NVP) is also sufficient.
