Abstract

A bargaining problem with two players, Labor (player L) and Management (player M) is considered. The players must decide the monthly wage paid to L by M. At the beginning players L and M submit their offers x and y. If x ≤ y there is an agreement at (x + y)/2. If not, the arbiter is called in and he chooses the offer which is nearest to his solution α. The arbiter imposes a solution α which is concentrated in two points with probabilities p = 1/2. The equilibrium in the arbitration game among pure and mixed strategies is derived.
