Abstract

Vega-Redondo (1997) showed that imitation leads to the Walrasian outcome in Cournot Oligopoly. We generalize his result to aggregative quasi-submodular games. Examples are the Cournot Oligopoly, Bertrand games with differentiated complementary products, Common-Pool Resource games, Rent-Seeking games and generalized Nash-Demand games.

Keywords: Imitation, aggregate-taking strategy, price-taking behavior, stochastic stability
