We study a bargaining game (á la Rubinstein) in which parties are allowed to invest part of an available surplus. Therefore, in addition to the standard problem of how to divide a surplus for their own consumption, parties face the additional problem of how much to invest, knowing that the level of investment affects the surplus available in the next period. We provide an algorithm to solve the game when the number of bargaining stages is finite but tends to infinity.We show that the equilibrium investment and consumption shares become independent of the capital stock. The convergence of the equilibrium demands is affected by the elasticity of substitution and parties’ patience.
