Solution Concept

From Econterms, for About.com

Definition: A solution concept is a phrase relevant to game theory. A game has a 'solution' which may represent a model's prediction. The modeler often must choose one of several substantively different solution methods, or solution concepts, which can lead to different game outcomes. Often one is chosen because it leads to a unique prediction. Possible solution concepts include:
  • iterative elimination of strictly dominated strategies
  • Nash equilibrium
  • Subgame perfect equilibrium
  • Perfect Bayesian equilibrium
