In this paper, we propose a new approach to address the problem of designing pharmaceutical copayments. The rationale for positive copayments in our setting lies in the presence of budgetary constraints and, hence, in the need to raise funds in order to finance the costs of the treatments. We...

We provide three alternative characterizations of the proportional solution defined on compact and comprehensive bargaining problems with claims that are not necessarily convex. One characterization result is obtained by using, together with other standard axioms, two solidarity axioms. Another...

A new class of games called Financial games is defined. These games are market games and it is showed that they are a generalization of Bankruptcy games. The algebraic structure of this class of games is studied and necessary conditions for a game to be financial are stated. The proportional...
