RT info:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaper T1 Conventions in Repeated Games with Endogenous Separation A1 Izquierdo Millán, Segismundo Samuel A1 Izquierdo Millán, Luis Rodrigo K1 Endogenous separation K1 Neutral stability K1 Voluntarily repeated games K1 1207.06 Teoría de Juegos AB Games with endogenous separation are repeated games where players have theoption to leave their current partnership and keep on playing in a newly-formedpartnership. Arguably, most repeated interactions in real life fall into this category.We present a general framework to analyze equilibria in games with endogenousseparation, with a special focus on social conventions, i.e., stable strategies that areresistant to direct invasion by any conceivable strategy. Our search for conventionsleads to path-protecting strategies, which play a similar role to trigger strategiesin standard (fixed-partnership) repeated games. We provide a constructive proofof existence for path-protecting strategies, and a folk theorem for neutrally stableconventions.
