Abstract: This paper presents a microfoundation for the belief-based common knowledge concept proposed by Holmström and Myerson (1983) and further refined by Myerson (1997), by showing its equivalence to the hierarchical description of common knowledge, agent i knows that j knows that . . . knows event E. Moreover, it provides a useful algorithm to find common knowledge events. It also provides applications on the core under incomplete information based on different common knowledge concepts.
