Comment: Minor revisionStatic stability in economic models means negative incentives for deviation from equilibrium strategies, which we expect to assure a return to equilibrium, i.e., dynamic stability, as long as agents respond to incentives. There have been many attempts to prove this link, especially in evolutionary game theory, yielding both negative and positive results. This paper presents a universal and intuitive approach to this link. We prove that static stability assures dynamic stability if agents' choices of switching strategies are rationalizable by introducing costs and constraints in those switching decisions. This idea guides us to define \textit{net }gains from switches as the payoff improvement after deducting the costs. Under rationalizable dynamics, an agent maximizes the expected net gain subject to the constraints. We prove that the aggregate maximized expected net gain works as a Lyapunov function. It also explains reasons behind the known negative results. While our analysis here is confined to myopic evolutionary dynamics in population games, our approach is applicable to more complex situations.
