‘Vintage’ Nash bargaining without convexity

Author

  • Zambrano, Eduardo

Abstract

I study Nash bargaining when the utility possibility set of the bargaining problem is not convex. A simple variation of Nash’s Symmetry axiom is all that is necessary to establish a set-valued version of Nash’s solution in non-convex settings.
