The US term structure of interest rates plays a central role in fixed-income analysis. For example, estimating accurately the US term structure is a crucial step for those interested in analyzing Brazilian Brady bonds such ...
A comment on 'Rational learning lead to nash equilibrium' by professors Ehud Kalai and Ehud Lehrer
(Escola de Pós-Graduação em Economia da FGV, 1995-02)
Kalai and Lebrer (93a, b) have recently show that for the case of infinitely repeated games, a coordination assumption on beliefs and optimal strategies ensures convergence to Nash equilibrium. In this paper, we show that ...
