Uniqueness of equilibrium payoffs in the stochastic model of bargaining

  • Evdokimov, Kirill S.

Abstract

I provide a sufficient condition for the uniqueness of equilibrium payoffs in a model of stochastic bargaining with unanimity rule and risk-averse players. My Condition (S) implies Condition (C) of Merlo and Wilson (1995) and is easy to verify in applications.
