A recent strand of theoretical and experimental evidence establishes pessimistic&nbsp;predictions concerning the ability of comprehensive global environmental agreements to&nbsp;improve upon the business-as-usual trajectory. We introduce an economic experiment focusing on the dynamics of the negotiation process by observing subjects&rsquo; behavior in a Nash bargaining game. Throughout repea ted rounds, heterogeneous players bargain over the allocation of a fixed amount of profit-generating emissions with significant losses attached to prolonged failure to reach agreement. We find that the existence of side agreements that constrain individual demands among a subset of like countries does not ensure success; however, such side agreements reduce the demands of high-emission parties. Our results highlight the importance of strong signals among high emitters in reaching agreement to shoulder a collective emission reduction target.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Greer Gosnell and Alessandro Tavoni.&nbsp;Climatic Change, 2017.
