3. Now consider the following twist on the previous problem: Suppose that player B cannot verify the investment made by S. Therefore, in the first stage negotiation 2 they negotiate a single fee, p, which player B agrees to pay to S. The extensive form representation now looks like this (again the payoffs to B are listed first): B, S Default P 0,0 S H B B A Rp.p - 10 A 18-p. p - 10 R 7-P.P -P.P Assume both players have equal bargaining weights. Describe the negotiation equilibrium of this game. What happens to the hold-up problem once investment becomes unverifiable to player B? (in other words, does S choose a high level of investment in the negotiation equilibrium of this game?). 3.
