Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
We propose a class of stochastic orders, CAD, defined using conditional distributions, to compare interdependence of joint distributions. We show that for binary action, symmetric, separable games, and symmetric pure strategy Bayes-Nash equilibrium, increase in the similarity of information in the CAD order expands (shrinks) the equilibrium set when the game exhibits strategic complementarity (substitutability). We provide three different orders —- weak, intermediate, and strong, that establish the above relation for games where the net payoff is linear, convex, and increasing in aggregate action, respectively. Under additional assumptions, we show that the reverse direction of this relation also holds true.
