Abstract

We study ultimatum bargaining games with asymmetric information regarding disagreement payoffs. Results from Mensch (2020) are used to find conditions under which a monotonic equilibrium exists in these games. A standard single crossing assumption implies the existence of a monotonic Nash equilibrium. Stronger assumptions are required for the existence of a monotonic Perfect Bayesian equilibrium. JEL Classification Numbers: C62, C72, C78, D82

Keywords: Games of Incomplete Information, Dynamic Bayesian Games, Pure Strategy Equilibrium, Single Crossing Property, bargaining, Ultimatum Game
