Inefficiency in alternately repeated games with overlapping generations

Abstract: We model alternately repeated pure coordination games with overlapping generations. We characterize players’ behavior in subgame perfect equilibria while varying exogenous parameters. The results show that inefficient equilibria with almost the worst payoff arise when one-shot payoffs grow over time.
