THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT

摘要

The paper points out that in dynamic games a player may be better- off if other players do not known his choice of strategy. That is, a player may benefit by not revealing (or not pre-determining) the choice of his action in an information set he (thereby) hopes will not be reached. He would be better-off by exercising his "right to remain silent" if he believes-as the empirical evidence shows-that players display aversion to "Knightian uncertainty". In this case, a player who behaves strategically, may wish to avoid revealing his strategy. This is true under various interpretations of the notion f "strategy profiles".
