Has anybody developed the theory of STRICT correlated equilibria of a finite game?

I was playing around with it a bit, and here are some things that are easy to show about the set CE^S of strict correlated equilibrium distributions.
Screenshot of paper abstract, with text: "A core ethos of the Economics and Computation (EconCS) community is that people have complex private preferences and information of which the central planner is unaware, but which an appropriately designed mechanism can uncover to improve collective decisionmaking. This ethos underlies the community’s largest deployed success stories, from stable matching systems to participatory budgeting. I ask: is this choice and information aggregation “worth it”? In particular, I discuss how such systems induce heterogeneous participation: those already relatively advantaged are, empirically, more able to pay time costs and navigate administrative burdens imposed by the mechanisms. I draw on three case studies, including my own work – complex democratic mechanisms, resident crowdsourcing, and school matching. I end with lessons for practice and research, challenging the community to help reduce participation heterogeneity and design and deploy mechanisms that meet a “best of both worlds” north star: use preferences and information from those who choose to participate, but provide a “sufficient” quality of service to those who do not."
New piece, out in the Sigecom Exchanges! It's my first solo-author piece, and the closest thing I've written to being my "manifesto." #econsky #ecsky

May especially be of interest to #ECsky folks
Econ folks: how would you advise an economist to give a talk to computer scientists in EconCS? How would you describe what we do and don’t know? #Econsky #ECsky

My co-author Elita Lobo and I are presenting our poster "Fair and Welfare-Efficient Constrained Multi-Matchings under Uncertainty" next week at NeurIPS during the poster session Wed 11 Dec 4:30 p.m. PST - 7:30 p.m. PST. Hope to see you there! Details here: neurips.cc/virtual/2024... #MLSky #ECsky
