We consider an infinite horizon cooperative advertising differential game with nontransferable utility (NTU). The values of each firm are parametrized by a common discount rate and advertising costs. First we characterize the set of efficient solutions with a constant payoff weight. We show that there does not exist a constant weight that supports an agreeable cooperative solution. Then we consider a linear state-dependent payoff weight and derive an agreeable cooperative solution for a restricted parameter space.

Keywords: Cooperative differential games, nontransferable utility, state-dependent payoff weights, agreeability, Pareto optimality.
