Any non-credible threat that is part of a Nash equilibrium in a sequential game cannot be played along the Nash equilibrium path.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


True

Rationale: Nash equilibrium non-credible threats are threats that, because they are taken seriously in the Nash equilibrium (that is not subgame perfect), will never have to be played. Put differently, the threat is taken seriously and alters equilibrium behavior of the other player such that the other player does not put himself in the position of having the threat executed.
