Alternating-offer bargaining with endogenous commitment

Author

  • Yu, Zhixian

Abstract

We revisit the classical alternating-offer bargaining model, further assuming that players cannot reduce their proposals during the game. In equilibrium, players have history-dependent strategies and do not necessarily reach an agreement immediately in the first stage.
