Abstract

This paper discusses whether the equilibrium of a popular formal bargaining model due to (Baron & Ferejohn, 1989, American Political Science Review, 83, 1181–1206) satisfies the postulates that (Felsenthal & Machover, 1998, The measurement of voting power: theory and practice, problems and paradoxes. Cheltenham: Edward Elgar) consider essential in any power measure. It is well known that the equilibrium does not satisfy two adequacy postulates, namely ignoring dummies and vanishing only for dummies. This paper shows that it does not respect dominance either. It is also argued that the equilibrium displays one of the less intuitive instances of the paradox of new members.
