Analyzing Economic Rent with an Outside Option
Consider a modified bargaining scenario. A Proposer is given $100 to divide with a Responder. The Proposer makes a single take-it-or-leave-it offer. However, in this version of the game, if the Responder rejects the offer, the Proposer gets to keep $10, and the Responder receives a guaranteed payment of $15 from an outside source. The Proposer offers the Responder $20, and the Responder accepts.
Analyze the economic rent received by both the Proposer and the Responder from this accepted offer. Explain your reasoning by explicitly identifying each player's next best alternative.
