Step-by-step negotiations and the Nash bargaining solution: Efficiency-free characterizations

Abstract

Real-world bargainings often proceed step-by-step: the agents make intermediate agreements today and continue to negotiate tomorrow to reach a final agreement. We consider two natural properties of the bargaining solutions in such step-by-step negotiations and show that the Nash solution is the only solution that satisfies either of them, a very weak axiom of individual rationality, and Nash’s axioms except for Pareto optimality.
