Game equilibria yield computable stability and multiplier conditions. [definitional]
We can express each player’s optimum value of B as a function of the other’s, solve the two equations, and deduce the stability conditions for the equilibrium. We can also compute “multipliers” relating each player’s changes of B and R to shifts in the f function or to changes in the A parameters.
