There has been a long debate on equilibrium characterization in the negotiation model when players have different time preferences. We show that players behave quite differently under different time preferences than under common time preferences. Conventional analysis in this literature relies...

We analyze the simplest Condorcet cycle with three players and three alternatives within a strategic bargaining model with recognition probabilities and costless delay. Mixed consistent subgame perfect equilibria exist whenever the geometric mean of the agents' risk coefficients, ratios of...

This paper points out the importance of Stochastic Dominance (SD) efficient sets being convex. We reviewclassic convexity and efficient set characterization results on SD efficiency of a given portfolio relative to adiversified set of assets and generalize them in the following aspects. First,...
