Abstract

In the class of smooth non-cooperative games, exact potential games and weighted potential games are known to admit a convenient characterization in terms of crossderivatives (Monderer and Shapley in Games Econ Behav 14:124–143, 1996a). However, no analogous characterization is known for ordinal potential games. The present paper derives necessary conditions for a smooth game to admit an ordinal potential. First, any ordinal potential game must exhibit pairwise strategic complements or substitutes at any interior equilibrium. Second,
