Title: The Impossibility of Stable Renegotiation
Abstract: This note describes an example of a repeated game which has a unique renegotiation-proof equilibrium (Farrell(1983)) that however is not stable in the sense of Kohlberg and Mertens (1986). Hence, the requirements of renegotiation-proofness and stability may be mutually inconsistent.
