A dynamic model of equilibrium selection in signaling markets
Article Abstract:
A dynamic model of equilibrium, patterned after Spence's model, was designed to introduce two new recurrent sets of dynamic processes. Riley equilibria provide sellers with a selection of payoffs among separating equilibria, and Hellwig contains states wherein sellers use the signal that optimizes the high-quality utility. The model also adopts Spence's notion of initiating perturbations into the resulting dynamic prpcess. Evaluating pooling and separating equilibria are also found to require different refinement criteria.
