I study a repeated principal-agent game with long‐term output contracts that can be renegotiated at will. Actions are observable but not contractible, so they can only be incentivized through implicit agreements formed in equilibrium. I show that contract renegotiation is a powerful tool for...

We develop observable restrictions of well-known theories of bargaining over money. We suppose that we observe a finite … data set of bargaining outcomes, including data on allocations and disagreement points, but no information on utility …, the Nash, utilitarian, and egalitarian max-min bargaining solutions are all observationally equivalent. Data compatible …

In this study, I examine the alternating‐offer bilateral bargaining model with private correlated values. The … limits and show that it is efficient, but the surplus split generally differs from the Nash bargaining split. I then … construct a double limit that approximates the Nash bargaining split in the ex post surplus, but with a delay. Further, I prove …
