We propose positive and normative foundations for the average prekernel of NTU games, and compare them with the existing ones for the prekernel. In our non-cooperative analysis, the average prekernel is understood as the equilibrium payoffs of a game where each player faces the possibility of bargaining at random against any other player. In the cooperative analysis, we characterize the average...

For over a decade, the Nash bargaining solution (NBS) concept from cooperative game theory has been used in networks to share resources fairly. Due to its many appealing properties, it has recently been used for assigning bandwidth in a general topology network between applications that have linear utility functions. In this paper, we use this concept for allocating the bandwidth between applic...

A bargaining solution balances fairness and efficiency if each player’s payoff lies between the minimum and maximum of the payoffs assigned to him by the egalitarian and utilitarian solutions. In the 2-person bargaining problem, the Nash solution is the unique scale-invariant solution satisfying this property. Additionally, a similar result, relating the weighted egalitarian and utilitarian sol...

The Nash bargaining solution (NBS) has long been used to model wage negotiations between firms and unions examples include de Menil (1971), McDonald and Solow (1981), Nickell and Andrews (1983), Anderson and Devereux (1989), Dowrick (1989, 1990), Leslie (1990) and Hoel (1990). Much of this research has chosen quite arbitrary values for the parameters of the NBS the status-quo point and the barg...

Abstract The cultural red king effect occurs when discriminatory bargaining practices emerge because of a disparity in learning speed between members minority and majority. This has been shown to occur some Nash Demand Game models proposed as tool for shedding light on the origins sexist racist discrimination academic collaborations. paper argues that none three main strategies used literature ...
