The Nash program is an important research agenda initiated in Nash (Econometrica 21:128-140, 1953) in order to bridge the gap between the noncooperative and cooperative counterparts of game theory. The program is thus turning sixty-seven years old, but I will argue it is not ready for...

I study a repeated principal-agent game with long‐term output contracts that can be renegotiated at will. Actions are observable but not contractible, so they can only be incentivized through implicit agreements formed in equilibrium. I show that contract renegotiation is a powerful tool for...

This paper develops a dynamic model of tender offers in which there is trading on the target's shares during the takeover, and bidders can freeze out target shareholders (compulsorily acquire remaining shares not tendered at the bid price), features that prevail on almost all takeovers. We show...

We provide causal evidence that patience is a significant source of bargaining power. Generalizing the Rubinstein (1982 …) bargaining model to arbitrarily non-stationary discounting, we first show that dynamic consistency across bargaining rounds is … bargaining delay is negligible (frequent offers, so dynamic consistency holds by design), while payoff delay is significant (a …

We report an experiment designed to study bargaining behavior between one buyer and multiple sellers with … alternating-offer bargaining model in which a buyer procures complementary items from two heterogeneous sellers with endogenous … choice of the order of bargaining. In addition, we implemented an information transparency manipulation regarding whether the …
