Transfer of Bargaining Power Sources in Oil Trade Games

Bargaining Power is one of the important issues in oil trade negotiations. In this paper two effective factors in bargaining power i.e. patient time to deal and outside options of each player have been considered. The necessary relations for exchange of sources in negotiation have been derived.

The demand bargaining set: general characterization and application to majority games

The cooperative solution concept introduced here, the demand bargaining set, contains the core and is included in the Zhou bargaining set, eliminating the “dominated” coalition structures. The demand vectors belonging to the demand bargaining set are self-stable. In the class of constant-sum homogeneous weighted majority games the demand bargaining set is non-empty and predicts a unique demand ...

Efficiency, Fairness and Competitiveness in Nash Bargaining Games

Recently, [8] defined the class of Linear Nash Bargaining Games (LNB) and obtained combinatorial, polynomial time algorithms for several games in this class. [8] also defines two natural subclasses within LNB, UNB and SNB, which contain a number of natural Nash bargaining games. In this paper we define three basic game theoretic properties of Nash bargaining games: price of bargaining, fairness...

Efficiency in Negotiation: Complexity and Costly Bargaining∗

Even with complete information, two-person bargaining can generate a large number of equilibria, involving disagreements and inefficiencies, in (i) negotiation games where disagreement payoffs are endogenously determined (Busch and Wen [4]) and (ii) costly bargaining games where there are transaction/participation costs (Anderlini and Felli [2]). We show that when the players have (at the margi...
