Abstract:
Two ex ante identically informed agents play a two-period alternating offer bargaining game over the division of a known surplus with endogenous information and common values. This paper shows that a low discounting of trading surplus, a positive externality of information acquisition and an endogenous lemons problem can cause delay of agreement. In the period of disagreement the buyer and the seller have symmetric information. For the case where the discount factor d of trading surplus is zero, a perfect equilibrium exists in which the responder captures full surplus in take-it-or-leave-it offer bargaining. The equilibrium payoff of the first period proposer can increase with d, the bargaining power of the counter party.
