Abstract
In this paper, an example is given to show that a strictly perfect equilibrium need not be strictly proper It is proved that, for a bimatrix game, a strictly perfect equilibrium is strictly proper if it is also quasistrong. Finally, for such games, the structure of the set of strictly proper equilibria is described.
