Feasibility/Desirability Games for Normal Form Games, Choice Models and Evolutionary Games

TL;DR

The paper introduces Feasibility/Desirability Games (FD Games), a new framework for representing normal form games, choice models, and evolutionary processes, facilitating analysis of equilibria and strategic behavior.

Contribution

It proposes FD Games as a unified abstraction applicable to game theory, economics, and evolutionary dynamics, offering new perspectives and methods for analyzing strategic interactions.

Findings

FD Games can identify Nash equilibria effectively.

FD Games unify different perspectives of game analysis.

The framework applies to microeconomic choice models and evolutionary processes.

Abstract

An abstraction of normal form games is proposed, called Feasibility/Desirability Games (or FD Games in short). FD Games can be seen from three points of view: as a new presentation of games in which Nash equilibria can be found, as choice models in microeconomics or as a model of evolution in games.
