Outline of Annual Research Achievements

The revised version of the second paper (Reexamination of the equivalence of strategies) was presented at the invited seminars at Cardiff Business School, Maastricht University, University of Lausanne and University of Zurich. It was also accepted for presentation at 18th European Conference on Game Theory (University of Messina).
The revised version are to be soon submitted for review to Games and Economic Behaviour.
The draft of the third paper (Backward Induction in Nonlinear Games, joint with Professor John Hillas, University of Auckland) was completed.

Current Status of Research Progress

3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.

Reason

Dmitriy Kvasov is on sabbatical leave at University of Maastricht. Organizational issues due to temporary re-location to Europe slightly delayed the planned work on the project.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

The second paper (Reexamination of the equivalence of strategies) to be prepared for publication (based on the results of peer review).
The third paper (Backward Induction in Nonlinear Games) to be submitted for review at Games and Economic Behaviour.

Causes of Carryover

International travel was resumed only in September 2022.
In the next year the research visit by Professor John Hillas is planned as well as travel to international conferences and workshops.
