Game-theoretic models of bargaining : Papers presented at the Conference on Game-Theoretic Models of Bargaining held June 27-30, 1983, at the University of Pittsburg, Pittsburg, Pa

Game-Theoretic Models of Bargaining provides a comprehensive picture of the new developments in bargaining theory. It especially shows the way the use of axiomatic models has been complemented by the new results derived from strategic models. The papers in this volume are edited versions of those given at a conference on Game Theoretic Models of Bargaining held at the University of Pittsburgh. There are two distinct reasons why the study of bargaining is of fundamental importance in economics. The first is that many aspects of economic activity are directly influenced by bargaining between and among individuals, firms, and nations. The second is that bargaining occupies an important place in economic theory, since the 'pure bargaining problem' is at the opposite pole of economic phenomena from the case of 'perfect competition'. This volume is an outgrowth of the renewed interest in the strategic approach to the theory of bargaining and to the general theory of non-cooperative games. A volume of edited papers of a conference on "Game Theoretic Models of Bargaining", this work shows how the use of axiomatic models has been complemented by the results derived from strategic models. An outgrowth of interest in the strategic approach to the theory of bargaining, it reasons why the study of bargaining is of importance in economics
