The authors provide a unified epistemic analysis of some forward-induction solution concepts in games with complete and incomplete information. They suggest that forward induction reasoning may be usefully interpreted as a set of assumptions governing the players' belief revision processes. They define a concept of strong belief and provide an epistemic characterization, and sufficient epistemic conditions for the backward induction outcome in generic games with perfect information.
