This 'intertemporal surplus sharing' (ISS) solution is usually defended as the … argue that such extreme assumptions on the risk of breakdown during disagreement are unattractive in the context of a search …-matching model. We then show that ISS arises for arbitrary breakdown rates if agents can precommit to search during disagreement …
