We study pure coordination games where in every outcome, all players have identical payoffs, ‘win’ or ‘lose’. We identify and discuss a range of ‘purely rational principles’ guiding the reasoning of rational players in such games and compare the classes of coordination games that can be solved by such players with no preplay communication or conventions. We observe that it is highly nontrivial to delineate a boundary between purely rational principles and other decision methods, such as conventions, for solving such coordination games.

合理协调，无需沟通或约定

我们研究纯粹的协调游戏，在所有结果中，所有玩家都有相同的收益（“赢”或“输”）。我们确定并讨论了指导此类游戏中理性玩家推理的一系列“纯理性原则”，并比较了此类游戏者无需进行赛前沟通或约定即可解决的协调游戏类别。我们观察到，在解决这种协调博弈的纯理性原则与其他决策方法（例如约定）之间划定边界是非常重要的。
