Empirical Game Theoretic Models: Constrained Equilibrium & Simulation

We propose an operational concept of Constrained Strategic Equilibrium (CSE) applicable to a broad class of empirical game theoreticmodels with incomplete information. By restricting the players' strategic sets, we can compute solutions from a strategic form of analyis based upon auxiliary Monte Carlo (MC) simulations.
