re: Relationship to other equilibrium refinements
Just a quick question: Is it really the case that "Sequential equilibrium is a further refinement of subgame perfect equilibrium"? in Kreps and Wilson they state that "Every perfect equilibrium is sequential.". This would suggest that a subgame perfect equilibrium is a refinement of a sequential equilibrium, if anything, no?
apologies if I've posted this comment in an inappropriate way...

Sequential equilirbrium does refine subgame perfect equilibrium. In the quote above, Kreps and Wilson are not talking about subgame perfection. They are talking about extensive-form trembling hand perfection. And we do have that extensive-form trembling hand perfect equilibrium refines sequential equilibrium - which refines subgame perfect equilibrium. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.160.47.54 (talk) 19:20, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
