Strategic Equivalence

Definition

Strategic equivalence describes situations where different game theory strategies produce identical outcomes for players. In game theory, two strategies are strategically equivalent if, for every possible action of other players, they yield the same payoffs for the player employing them. This concept helps simplify game analysis by identifying redundant or interchangeable courses of action. It applies to scenarios where agents make decisions under uncertainty, influencing their choices based on anticipated results.
