Discontinuous games with asymmetric information: an extension of Reny’s existence theorem. (English) Zbl 1318.91013

Summary: We introduce asymmetric information to games with discontinuous payoffs and prove new equilibrium existence theorems. In particular, the seminal work of P. J. Reny [Econometrica 67, No. 5, 1029–1056 (1999; Zbl 1023.91501)] is extended to a Bayesian preferences framework.
