A differential Game Approach to Evolutionary Equilibrium Selection

The equilibrium selection model of Matsui and Matsuyama (1995), which is based on rational players who maximise their discounted future payoff, is analysed with the help of an associated differential game. Equilibrium selection results are derived for games with a ½-dominant equilibrium, for games with a potential function, and some simple supermodular games.
