Optimism, delay and (in)efficiency in a stochastic model of bargaining

نویسنده

چکیده

I study a bilateral bargaining game in which the size of the surplus follows a stochastic process and in which players might be optimistic about their bargaining power. Following Yildiz (2003), I model optimism by assuming that players have different beliefs about the recognition process. I show that the unique subgame perfect equilibrium of this game might involve inefficient delays. I also show that these inefficiencies disappear when players can make offers arbitrarily frequently.

Coordination and profit sharing in a two-level supply chain under periodic review inventory policy with delay in payments contract

In this paper,a coordination model has been investigated for a two-level supply chain (SC) consisting of one retailer and one supplier under periodic review inventory system. The review period and the retailer’s safety factorare assumed to be decision variables. The retailer faces stochastic demand following a normal distribution with known mean and variance. Moreover, it is assumed that unmet ...

Multi-item inventory model with probabilistic demand function under permissible delay in payment and fuzzy-stochastic budget constraint: A signomial geometric programming method

This study proposes a new multi-item inventory model with hybrid cost parameters under a fuzzy-stochastic constraint and permissible delay in payment. The price and marketing expenditure dependent stochastic demand and the demand dependent the unit production cost are considered. Shortages are allowed and partially backordered. The main objective of this paper is to determine selling price, mar...

Does Scale of Public Hospitals Affect Bargaining Power? Evidence From Japan

Background Many of public hospitals in Japan have had a deficit for a long time.

In this study, we empirically investigate whether or no...

Bargaining with Optimism: Identication and Estimation of a Model of Medical Malpractice Litigation

We study identi…cation and estimation of a structural model of bargaining with optimism where players have heterogeneous beliefs about the …nal resolution of a dispute if they fail to reach an agreement. We show that the distribution of beliefs of both parties and the stochastic bargaining surplus are nonparametrically identi…ed from the probability of settlement and the distribution of transfe...
