Abstract

Two players, A and B, bargain to divide a perfectly divisible pie. In a bargaining model with constant discount factors, \(\delta _A\) and \(\delta _B\), we extend Rubinstein (Econometrica 50:97–110, 1982)’s alternating offers procedure to more general deterministic procedures, so that any player in any period can be the proposer. We show that each bargaining game with a deterministic procedure has a unique subgame perfect equilibrium (SPE) payoff outcome, which is efficient. Conversely, each efficient division of the pie can be supported as an SPE outcome by some procedure if \(\delta _A+\delta _B\ge 1\), while almost no division can ever be supported in SPE if \(\delta _A+\delta _B < 1\).

1
For any t, the subgame that starts from period \(t+2\) has exactly the same structure as that which starts from period t.

4
For example, see Binmore et al. (1986) and Binmore (1987) for some discussions on how the subgame perfect equilibrium outcomes can be affected by players’ time preference.
 
5
In this paper, a payoff outcome \((u_A,u_B)\) where \(u_i\ge 0\) is said to be efficient if \(u_A+u_B=1\).
 
6
Suppose \(\omega =A^{n_1}B^{n_2}\cdots \), then according to Lemma 3 and Theorem 1, \(x=\theta (\omega )=z_{r(\omega )}\ge z_1=1-\delta _B^{n_1}\ge 1-\delta _B\) if \(r(\omega )\ge 1\); \(x=\theta (\omega )=1>1-\delta _B\) if \(r(\omega )= 0\).
