See Hoover (2004) for a lucid discussion of this issue. For a comprehensive account of the debate, see Mäki eds.
Player 2) also satisfies the golden rule, the equilibrium does not exist. , un* at time t. , u t , u t and u t must satisfy the following system (that is obtained from (10): ª B11c P1 B11 « Bc P B ¬ 11 1 21 c P2 B12 º ª u1 º B22 c P2 B22 »¼ «¬u2 »¼ B22 ª Bc P « 11 1 ¬ ª A1 x1 x1 ¦ B1 j u *j º (A14) º« » jN /1 » « *» c B22 P2 ¼ A2 x2 x2 ¦ B2 j u j « » jN / 2 ¬ ¼ Notice that the first-partitioned matrix of (14) is always square; and that if both players satisfy their golden rule, then all the matrices therein are also square.
In this case, we have A1 A2 and Bij Bij for i ^1, 2` and 30 Nicola Acocella and Giovanni Di Bartolomeo j N . The first-partitioned matrix of (14) therefore has a zero determinant ( B11 B21 and B12 B22 ) and cannot be inverted. Hence, a couple u , u satisfying (14) does not exist and, therefore, u * 1 * 2 * cannot be the so- lution, as claimed by the proposition. Conversely, consider now target space instead of instrument space. e. unless the following holds: A x1 x2 0 or x1 x 2 . 28 (A15) Next, consider the case where the first two players do not share all their targets.
