We study an interactive framework that explicitly allows for nonrational behavior. We do not place any restrictions on how players’ behavior deviates from rationality, but rather, on players’ higher-order beliefs about the frequency of such deviations. We assume that there exists a probabilitypsuch that all players believe, with at least probabilityp, that their opponents play rationally. This, together with the assumption of a common prior, leads to what we call the set ofp-rational outcomes, which we define and characterize for arbitrary probabilityp. We then show that this set varies continuously inpand converges to the set of correlated equilibria aspapproaches 1, thus establishing robustness of the correlated equilibrium concept to relaxing rationality and common knowledge of rationality. Thep-rational outcomes are easy to compute, also for games of incomplete information. Importantly, they can be applied to observed frequencies of play for arbitrary normal-form games to derive a measure of rationalitythat bounds from below the probability with which any given player chooses actions consistent with payoff maximization and common knowledge of payoff maximization.
