We consider bilateral non-cooperative bargaining on the division of a surplus. Compared to the canonical bargaining … game in the tradition of Rubinstein, we introduce additional sources of friction into the bargaining process … month, quarter, or year. Bargaining rounds are of non-trivial length, so that counter-offers may be made without triggering …

agents' discount rates (i.e., patience levels) shape the bargaining outcome. We find that the seller's commitment problem … he is more impatient, independently of his private valuation; hence, higher bargaining costs may give negotiators with … private information greater bargaining power. …

In this paper we analyze a stochastic continuous time model in finite horizon in which the agent discounts the instantaneous utility function and the final function at constant but different instantaneous discount rates of time preference. Within this context we can model problems in which, when...

We study infinitely repeated games with observable actions, where players have present-biased (so-called beta-delta) preferences. We give a two-step procedure to characterize Strotz-Pollak equilibrium payoffs: compute the continuation payoff set using recursive techniques, and then use this set...

We investigate how a resource user who is present-biased manages a renewable resource stock with variable growth that could undergo a reversible regime shift (an abrupt, persistent change in structure and function of the ecosystem supplying the resource). In a discrete-time quasihyperbolic...

Purpose The relevance of present consumption bias on personal finance has been confirmed in several studies and has important theoretical and practical implications. It has important, measurable implications when analyzing commitment or self-control, adherence to healthy habits (e.g. exercising...

We study repeated games with pure strategies and stochastic discounting under perfect information, with the requirement that the stage game has at least one pure Nash action profile. Players discount future payoffs with a common, but stochastic, discount factor where associated stochastic...
