Farsighted Players: forward looking, no errors

Farsighted Improving Path. Farsighted Players anticipate

further changes along the path and compare the ultimate

network to the current one (not necessarily a sequence of

Farsighted

adjacent networks)

farsighted improving path from g to some other network g’,

Existence of Farsightedly Pairwise Stable Network:

Consistent Set. All deviations away from the network are

expected to farsightedly lead back to some network in the

set that is not improving for the original deviating coalition.

Main Result: resolution of conflict between Stability

and Efficiency

M i Li it A i /H i i b fi Conclusion Main Limit: Asymmetries/Heterogeneity in benefits

and costs would imply that a conflict between stability

and efficiency could rise again (transfers?)

What isWhat is Farsightedness? Consistent with its multidimensional nature, empathy appears to be

supported by a number of neural networks involving several regions including frontal regions, the insula and temporal regions .including frontal regions, the insula and temporal regions .

Emotional Empathy: ability supports our tendency to react emotionally to the pain and distress of others and to recognize their emotions.

Cognitive Empathy: ability to engage in the cognitive process of adopting another's psychological point of view.
