Bargaining with Outside Options∗

چکیده
We comment on non-cooperative and cooperate approaches to distributive (divide-the-cake) bargaining. We first review the challenges addressed by the seminal literature on two-person bargaining and threeperson bargaining. We then explore more recent developments on dynamic multi-player bargaining over distributive policies, both over a single decision, and over an infinite sequence of decisions with an endogenous outside

متن کاملSelf-Serving Use of Equity Rules in Bargaining with Asymmetric Outside Options
Self-Serving Use of Equity Rules in Bargaining with Asymmetric Outside Options We experimentally investigate multiple notions of equity in ultimatum bargaining with asymmetric outside options. Building on the generalized equity principle formulated by Selten (1978), we derive three different equity rules that can explain 43% of all offers. Our withinsubject design further allows us to show that...
متن کاملBargaining Power in Repeated Negotiations with Outside Options
For repeated ultimatum bargaining, the Folk Theorem of repeated game theory suggests that there are many equilibria, among them equilibria in which the second mover, say, the buyer, appropriates all the surplus. This paper shows that the presence of outside options in form of alternative trading partners eliminates some of these equilibria by reducing the cope for extracting surplus in repeated...
متن کاملFairness in Ultimatum Bargaining with Outside Options: Experimental Evidence
Results of ultimatum bargaining experiments show a persistence of behavior that deviates from Nash equilibrium predictions. In addition to strategic considerations, many have attributed these results to a taste for fairness on the part of subjects. We investigate this concept by introducing an outside option for proposers in the game. We find that the outcome of the experiment varies systematic...

This paper studies a two-sided incomplete information bargaining model between a seller and a buyer. The buyer has an outside option, which is modeled as a sequential search process during which he can also choose to return to bargaining at any time. Two cases considered: In Regime I, both agents have symmetric information about the search parameters. We find that, in contrast to bargaining wit...
