Characterizing the limit set of PPE payoffs with unequal discounting

Takuo Sugaya

Abstract


We study repeated games with imperfect public monitoring and unequal discounting. We characterize the limit set of perfect and public equilibrium payoffs as discount factors converge to 1 with the relative patience between players Â…fixed. We show that the pairwise and individual full rank conditions are sufficient for the folk theorem.

Keywords: Repeated games, unequal discounting, imperfect monitoring, folk theorem
