Uniqueness of stationary equilibrium payoffs in coalitional bargaining
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a model of sequential bargaining in which, in each period before an agreement is reached, a proposer is randomly selected, the proposer suggests a division of a pie of size one, each other agent either approves or rejects the proposal, and the proposal is implemented if the set of approving agents is a winning coalition for the proposer. We show that stationary equilibrium outcomes of a coalitional bargaining game are unique. This generalizes Eraslan (2002) insofar as: (a) there are no restrictions on the structure of sets of winning coalitions; (b) different proposers may have different sets of winning coalitions; (c) there may be a positive probability that no proposer is selected.

Coalitional Bargaining with Markovian Proposers
The paper generalizes coalitional bargaining of the Baron-Ferejohn type (Eraslan and McLennan, 2006) to non-independent proposers. Widening the scope of possible proposer dynamics significantly, this allows for likely continued offers, alternating offers (Calvó-Armengol, 2001b), and deterministic dynamics such as clockwise rotation of proposers (Herrero, 1985). Existence of stationary subgame p...
متن کاملThe Coalitional Nash Bargaining Solution∗
The coalitional Nash bargaining solution is defined to be the core allocation for which the Nash product is maximal. We consider a non-cooperative model in which one team may form. The grand team, consisting of all players, generates the largest surplus. But a smaller team may form. We show that as players get more patient if an efficient and stationary equilibrium exists, it must deliver payof...
متن کاملDynamic multilateral markets
We study dynamic multilateral markets, in which players’ payoffs result from coalitional bargaining. In this setting, we establish payoff uniqueness of the stationary equilibria when players exhibit some degree of impatience. We focus on market games with different player types, and derive under mild conditions an explicit formula for each type’s equilibrium payoff as market frictions vanish. T...
متن کاملA continuous model of multilateral bargaining with random arrival times∗
This paper proposes a continuous-time model framework of bargaining, which is analytically tractable even in complex situations like coalitional bargaining. The main ingredients of the model are: (i) players get to make offers according to a random arrival process; (ii) there is a deadline that ends negotiations. In the case of n-player group bargaining, there is a unique subgame-perfect Nash e...
متن کاملCoalition Bargaining Games: Local and Global Uniqueness of Equilibria
This paper studies generic properties of Markov Perfect equilibrium of coalitional bargaining games. We show that in almost all games (except in a set of measure zero of the parameter space) the equilibrium is locally unique and stable, and comparative statics analysis are welldefined and can be performed using standard calculus tools. Global uniqueness does not hold in general, but the number ...
