Efficiency and Disagreement in Repeated Infinite Horizon Bargaining Games
基于Satterthwaite和Williams的密封投标k-双拍卖模型,提出一种基于声誉的分歧理论,解释为何在存在继续谈判收益时,代理人仍可能在首轮后终止谈判。
M. Satterthwaite and S. Williams (1987) characterize regular equilibria of the sealed bid k-double auction that, in some cases, are efficient. The sealed bid k-double auction specifies one period of simultaneous offers and requires agents to sometimes disagree at the end of the first period when gains from continued bargaining exist. This paper constructs a theory of disagreement based on reputation in repeated bargaining games. Agents make the offers of a Satterthwaite-Williams regular equilibrium in the first round of a negotiation. Then, if no trade results, the agents terminate the negotiation in spite of possible gains from the option of continued bargaining.
