Dupuy, Arnaud; Galichon, Alfred - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2012
In the context of the Beckerian theory of marriage, when men and women match on a single-dimensional index that is the weighted sum of their respective multivariate attributes, many papers in the literature have used linear canonical correlation, and related techniques, in order to estimate...

Hennig-Schmidt, Heike; Irlenbusch, Bernd; Rilke, Rainer … - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2013
We experimentally investigate multiple notions of equity in ultimatum bargaining with asymmetric outside options. Building on the generalized equity principle formulated by Selten (1978), we derive three different equity rules that can explain 43% of all offers. Our within-subject design further...

Learning from a Piece of Pie: The Empirical Content of Nash Bargaining
Chiappori, Pierre-André; Donni, Olivier - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2006
Consider a model of bargaining, in which two players, 1 and 2, share a pie of size y. The bargaining environment is described by a set of parameters ? that may affect agents’ preferences over the agreement sharing, the status quo outcome, or both. The outcomes (i.e., whether an agreement is...
