We consider rules (strategies, commitments, contracts, or computer programs) that make behavior contingent on an opponent's rule. The set of perfectly observable rules is not well defined. Previous contributions avoid this problem by restricting the rules deemed admissible. We instead limit the...

We propose a bargaining process supergame over the strategies to play in a non-cooperative game. The agreement reached … by players at the end of the bargaining process is the strategy profile that they will play in the original non … existence, uniqueness, and efficiency of the agreement reachable through this bargaining process.
