We develop, and then experimentally test, models of informal agreements. Agents are assumed to be honest but suffer costs of overcoming temptations. We extend two classical bargaining solutions –-- split-the-difference and deal-me-out -- –to our setting. Our data rejects these predictions but strong patterns suggest that a modifi…ed/simpli…ed version of deal-me-out captures a lot of the action.
