This paper extends Carroll's (2006) endogenous grid method and its combination with value function iteration by Barillas and Fernández-Villaverde (2007) to non-concave problems. The method is illustrated using a consumer problem in which consumers choose both durable and non-durable...

The Prospect Theory proposes to assess outcomes relative to a reference point (or benchmark). Although the literature … recognises the relevance of dynamic benchmarks, most of the applications of Prospect Theory employ static reference points (or a … status quo).

We formulate and study a general finite-horizon bargaining game with simultaneous moves and a disagreement outcome that need not be the worst possible result for the agents. Conditions are identified under which the game is dominance solvable in the sense that iterative deletion of weakly...
