Talk:Rubinstein bargaining model

Is there a reference for the proof sketch? Everything turns out correct but point #1 is not convincing. Just because player 2 faces the same type of game at t=2 as player 1 does at t=1, it doesn't mean player 2's t=2 offer would be the same as player 1's t=1 offer.

That would be the case if it's clear a priori that first mover always gets the same portion of the pie in SPNE. But we only know this after proving existence and uniqueness of SPNE. Mct mht (talk) 08:43, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Merge proposal
I suggest to merge this article into Sequential bargaining. Rubinstein's model is a special case of sequential bargaining. --Erel Segal (talk) 08:36, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
