Abstract

We propose a new game to strategically justify the constrained equal awards rule in claims problems. Our game is “procedurally fair” (claimants are treated equally) and “multilateral” (all claimants negotiate simultaneously). In addition, even if claimants cannot reach an agreement in any period, they can renegotiate in the next period. We show that, for each claims problem, the awards vector chosen by the constrained equal awards rule achieved at period 1 is the unique subgame perfect equilibrium outcome of the game.
