-only auction (discouraging early information exchange) and bilateral negotiations with a preselected seller (reducing competition …). Bilateral negotiations are superior if potential design improvements are important, if renegotiation is particularly costly, and … if the buyer's bargaining position is strong. Moreover, negotiations provide stronger incentives for sellers to …

I revisit the Rubinstein (1982) model for the classic problem of price hag- gling and show that bargaining can become a “trap,” where equilibrium leaves one party strictly worse off than if no transaction took place (e.g., the equilibrium price exceeds a buyer’s valuation). This arises...

Weitzman (2014) proposed that focusing international climate negotiations on a uniform carbon price is more effective … than Paris style negotiations in achieving ambitious climate action. We put this hypothesis to an experimental test by … simulating international negotiations on climate change in collaboration with Model United Nations associations. This novel …

We generalize the Rubinstein (1982) bargaining model by disentangling payoff delay from bargaining delay. We show that our extension is isomorphic to generalized discounting with dynamic consistency and characterize the unique equilibrium. Using a novel experimental design to control for various...

We provide causal evidence that patience is a significant source of bargaining power. Generalizing the Rubinstein (1982) bargaining model to arbitrarily non-stationary discounting, we first show that dynamic consistency across bargaining rounds is sufficient for a unique equilibrium, which we...

We consider a multi-dimensional procurement problem in which sellers have private information about their costs and about a possible design flaw. The information about the design flaw is necessarily correlated. We solve for the optimal Bayesian procurement mechanism that implements the efficient...
