Sufficient conditions are presented for a Markov decision process to have a myopic optimum and for a stochastic game to possess a myopic equilibrium point. An optimum or an equilibrium point is said to be "myopic" if it can be deduced from an optimum or an equilibrium point of a static optimization problem or a static [Nash] game. The principal conditions are a each single period reward is the sum of terms due to the current state and action, b each transition probability depends on the action taken but not on the state from which the transition occurs, and c an appropriate static optimum or equilibrium point is ad infinitum repeatable. These conditions are satisfied by several dynamic oligopoly models and numerous Markov decision processes.
