Existence of Nash equilibria in two-person stochastic games of resource extraction
This paper deals with two-person stochastic games of resource extraction under both the discounted and the mean payoff criterion. Under some concavity and additivity assumptions concerning the payoff and the transition probability function a stationary Nash equilibrium is shown to exist. The proof is based on Schauder-Tychonoff's fixed point theorem, applied to a suitable payoff vector space.
