Characterizing NTU-Bankruptcy Rules Using Bargaining Axioms

Dietzenbacher, Bas - 2018

This paper takes an axiomatic bargaining approach to bankruptcy problems with nontransferable utility by characterizing bankruptcy rules in terms of properties from bargaining theory. In particular, we derive new axiomatic characterizations of the proportional rule, the truncated proportional...
