The n-Person Kalai-Smorodinsky Bargaining Solution under Pre-Donations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study examines the behavior of simple n-person bargaining problems under pre-donations where the Kalai-Smorodinsky (KS) solution is operant. Pre-donations are a unilateral commitment to transfer a portion of one’s utility to someone else, and are used to distort the bargaining set and thereby influence the bargaining solution. In equilibrium, these pre-donations are Pareto-improving over the undistorted solution; moreover, when the agents’ preferences are sufficiently distinct, the equilibrium solution coincides with the Concessionary Division rule.

A Generalization of the Egalitarian and the Kalai-Smorodinsky Bargaining Solutions
We characterize the class of weakly efficient n-person bargaining solutions that solely depend on the ratios of the players’ ideal payoffs. In the case of at least three players the ratio between the solution payoffs of any two players is a power of the ratio between their ideal payoffs. As special cases this class contains the Egalitarian and the Kalai-Smorodinsky bargaining solutions. For 2-p...
متن کاملFairness in Bargaining and the Kalai-Smorodinsky Solution
A bargaining solution guarantees minimal equity if each player’s payoff is at least as large as the minimum of the payoffs assigned to him by the equal-gain (i.e., egalitarian) and equal-loss solutions. The KalaiSmorodinsky solution is the unique scale-invariant 2-person solution with this property. There does not exist a scale-invariant n-person solution with this property.
متن کاملDuality, area-considerations, and the Kalai-Smorodinsky solution
We introduce a new solution concept for 2-person bargaining problems, which can be considered as the dual of the Equal-Area solution (EA) (see Anbarcı and Bigelow (1994)). Hence, we call it the Dual EqualArea solution (DEA). We show that the point selected by the Kalai–Smorodinsky solution (see Kalai and Smorodinsky (1975)) lies in between those that are selected by EA and DEA. We formulate an ...
متن کاملSingle NTU-value solutions¤
We propose a variation of the non-cooperative bargaining model for n-person games in coalitional form, introduced in Hart and Mas-Colell (1996). This strategic game implements, in the limit, a new NTU-value for the class of monotonic games. This value coincides with the Consistent NTU-value (Maschler and Owen,1989) for hyperplane games, and with the Shapley value for TU games (Shapley, 1953). T...
متن کاملBridging the gap between the Nash and Kalai-Smorodinsky bargaining solutions
Bargaining solutions that satisfy weak Pareto optimality, symmetry, and independence of equivalent utility representations are called standard. The Nash (1950) solution is the unique independent standard solution and the KalaiSmorodinsky (1975) solution is the unique monotonic standard solution. Every standard solution satisfies midpoint domination on triangles, or MDT for short. I introduce a ...
