Abstract
In this note we challenge the non-cooperative foundations of cooperative
bargaining solutions on the grounds that the limit operation for approaching a
frictionless world is not robusto We show that when discounting almost ceases
to play a role, any individually rational payoff can be supported by some
subgame perfect equilibrium. To seLect the "correct" point imposes excessive
informationaL requirements on the anaLyst.
