Answer #1

Answer:

Repeated game is a special type of game where the same one shot stage game is played over and over again. If it's a finite repeated game, then the game is played a known no. Of times. A finitely repeated game can have more than one SPNE if the stage game has more than one Nash equilibrium, but if the stage game has only one Nash equilibrium i.e. unique Nash equilibrium, then the only SPNE is to repeat this equilibrium in each period.

So, in a finite repeated game(two period) with stage game has unique Nash equilibrium, can have one SPNE. The result will be the same as long as T is finite integer.
