Average welfare fair and egalitarian solutions for bargaining problems
(2010-03-21)In this paper e present an alternative characterization of the Egalitarian Solution for bargaining problems and show that the Egalitarian solution has the property that for any agent the incremental utility from bargaining ... -
Bargaining with a variable population for games with a reference point
(2010-03-25)We consider axiomatic models of bargaining defined over a domain of problems containing different numbers of agents, define a concept called restricted monotonicity with respect of changes in the number of agents, and show ... -
Continuity of bargaining solutions defined with respect to a criterion
(2010-03-21)In this paper we study continuity properties of bargaining solutions which are defined with respect to a criterion function. Sufficient conditions are obtained for the solutions to be continuous and the exercise is carried ... -
Egalitarian departures from the ideal point
(Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, 1989-11-01)In this paper we propose a new solution to bargaining or group decision problems, which requires an arbitrator to choose that point on the pareto frontier of the feasible set where losses in utility from the ideal point ... -
The egalitarian equivalent solution to bargaining problems in economic environments
(2010-03-25)In this paper we set up an analytical framework to study bargaining (or object division) problems in economic environments, propose some new solutions and study the egalitarian equivalent bargaining solution. This analysis ... -
Generalization of the raiffa-kalai smorodinsky solution in two person bargaining games
(2010-03-24)In this paper we present a generalization of the Raiffa - Kalai - Smorodinsky solution to two person bargaining games, to incorporate asymmetries in solution payoffs. -
Impossibility of anonymous ordinal solutions for two person bargaining problems
(2010-07-27)In this paper we prove the non-existence of pure bargaining solutions which satisfy Pareto optimality, Anonymity and Invariance With Respect to Allowable Ordinal Transformations. -
Metric rationalization of bargaining solutions and respect for unanimity
(2010-03-28)In this paper we represent bargaining solutions by means of a metric which is defined on games, whereby the solutions are precisely those payoffs which are closest to being unanimously highest. Subsequently we study the ... -

(2010-03-28)In this paper we represent bargaining solutions by means of a metric which is defined on games, whereby the solutions are precisely those payoffs which are closest to being unanimously highest. Subsequently we study the ... -
Negotiation Procedures Converging to Bargaining to Solutions
(2012-10-17)In this paper we study globally stable adjustment processes converging to the egalitarian and Nash solutions respectively in two person bargaining problems, that a rise under bilateral monopoly. The preference structures ... -
The non manipulability of the utilitarian solution
(2010-03-25)In this paper we model threat bargaining problems as fixed threat bargaining games (with the threat point at the origin) and show that the utilitarian solution to threat bargaining problems is not manipulable. -
Redundancy of additional alternatives and solutions to bargaining problems
(2010-03-28)In this paper we propose a new axiom called the redundancy of additional alternatives axiom, which is satisfied by the proportional solution. A weaker version of the same axiom is satisfied by the Kalai-Smorodinsky (3) ... -
Resource monotonicity of bargaining solutions
(2010-07-13)In this paper we establish that main solutions to bargaining problems display a resource monoticity property in bilateral monopoly situations when preferences exhibit consumption externalities. Suitable assumptions are ... -
Revealed preference and independence of irrelevant alternatives: a note
(2010-07-27)Our objective here is to establish an equivalence between the IIA axiom which plays a significant role in axiomatic models of bargaining, and a generalization of WARP which plays a significant role in demand analysis. -
Risk sensitivity in bargaining and a monotone to nash's bargaining problem
(2010-07-27)In this paper we show that for a new solution to Nash's bargaining problem, proposed by Lahiri (1988) ("Monotonicity with Respect to the Disagreement Point and a New Solution to Nash's Bargaining Problem", IIM, Ahmedabad, ... -
Some concepts of distributive justice in bargaining problems
(2010-07-27)In this paper we study the problems associated with distributive justice in an abstract framework originally conceived for the analysis of social choice and bargaining problems. Induced social choice correspondences are ... -
Threat bargaining games with a variable population
(2010-03-27)In this paper we establish links between desirable properties satisfied by familiar solutions to bargaining games with a variable population and the Nash equilibrium concept for threat bargaining games. -
Threat bargaining problems with correlated beliefs
(2010-07-27)In this paper we provide a general framework for studying threat bargaining games with correlated beliefs. In this framework we obtain a characterization of the Kalai-Smorodinsky solution without any monotonicity assumption. ... -
Threat bargaining problems with incomplete information
(2010-03-24)This paper is a revised version based on two of my earlier papers Lahiri (1989c) and Lahiri (1990). For useful suggestions and discussions I am grateful to Jim Jordan, T.Parthasarathy, Prakash Chander, Arunava Sen and the ... -
Two characterizations of the independence of irrelevant alternatives assumption
(2010-03-25)In this paper we propose alternative characterizations of the Independence of irrelevant alternatives assumption, as conceived in bargaining theory. We provide two distinct characterizations, which allows us to view both ...
