Abstract

We study infinitely repeated games in which the players’ rates of time preference may evolve endogenously in the course of the game. Our goal is to strengthen the folk theorem of Kochov and Song (2023) by relaxing the assumption of observable mixtures. To that end, we identify and impose a new sufficient condition on preferences. The condition holds automatically in the standard case of time-separable utilities and a common discount factor, while being generic in ours.
