Consider a V-period alternating-offer bargaining game where two players bargain over a surplus initially equal to a whole-number amount V. That is, player 1 makes an offer in period 1; if player 2 rejects this offer, player 2 makes an offer in period 2; if player 1 rejects this offer, player 1 then makes another offer in period 3; and so on. Suppose that the available surplus decays by a constant value of c = 1 each period. (For example, if the players reach an agreement in period 2, they divide a surplus of V – 1.) If in period V, no agreement is reached, then both players get 0. Suppose that the players don't discount the future. Describe the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium of this game.
