Aumann's Agreement Theorem - Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org ![rw-book-cover|200x400](https://readwise-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/static/images/article0.00998d930354.png) ## Metadata - Author: **en.wikipedia.org** - Full Title: Aumann's Agreement Theorem - Wikipedia - Category: #articles - URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aumann%27s_agreement_theorem ## Highlights - Aumann's agreement theorem was stated and proved by Robert Aumann in a paper titled "Agreeing to Disagree", which introduced the set theoretic description of common knowledge. The theorem concerns agents who share a common prior and update their probabilistic beliefs by Bayes' rule. It states that if the probabilistic beliefs of such agents, regarding a fixed event, are common knowledge then these probabilities must coincide. Thus, agents cannot agree to disagree, that is have common knowledge of a disagreement over the posterior probability of a given event. - Tags: #game-theory
