Complementarities and the existence of strong Berge equilibrium
RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle, Tome 48 (2014) no. 3, pp. 373-379.

This paper studies the existence and the order structure of strong Berge equilibrium, a refinement of Nash equilibrium, for games with strategic complementarities à la strong Berge. It is shown that the equilibrium set is a nonempty complete lattice. Moreover, we provide a monotone comparative statics result such that the greatest and the lowest equilibria are increasing.
