Given a simple game, a power configuration specifies the power of each player in each winning coalition. We introduce a new power configuration which takes into account bargaining among players in coalitions. We show that under very weak conditions on a bargaining solution there is a power...

Agents involved in a conflicting claims problem may be concerned with the proportion of their claims that is satisfied, or with the total amount they get. In order to relate both perspectives, we associate to each conflicting claims problem a bargaining-in-proportions set. Then, we obtain a...

This paper studies bargaining outcomes in economies in which agents may be able to impose outcomes that deviate from the relevant social norm, but incur costs when they decide to do so. It characterizes bargaining outcomes that are easiest to sustain as a social norm to which everybody will want...

I consider two-person bargaining problems in which mechanism is selected at the almost ex ante stage---when there is some positive probability that players may have learned their private types---and the chosen mechanism is implemented at the interim stage. For these problems, I define almost ex...

This paper proves that bargaining can be equivalently depicted in a utility possibility curve, to derive the same unfair Nash solution. This paper confirms that there is no simple solution for bargaining, and that the so-called social indifference curve does not exist

We consider an intertemporal game-theoretic framework in which different coalitions interact repeatedly over time. Both the terms of trade and the endogenous cooperation structure arising in this setup are characterized, in a protocol-free manner, when just three natural conditions are...
