Strategic Effects and Incentives in Multi-issue Bargaining Games



Without loss of generality, let cake 1 represent the most important issue (λ1 > 1 and
λ
2 < 1), then if the between-cake discount factor of one player αi is sufficiently small,
that is, α
i αi = ΦiΓi where

Γi =


(1 - λji


(λ2λj - 1)


and Φi =


(1 - δiδj + αji - δj))


(1 + δi)(1 - δj)


(36)


the Pareto superior agenda consists in discussing the most important issue first (see
Flamini 2001 for details).

3) In both agenda the SPE outcome is that player 1 demands xe1 (that is, max{g, q} <
α
i < 1). Then, at the limit for ∆ 0, the differences vi - ui are as follows

1 - 1)α1r2

(37)

(38)


v1 — u1 = ------------

r1 + r2

(1 - λ2)(r1 + r2(1 - α2))

v2 — u2 = ----------------------

2    2                r1 + r2

Then, we can conclude that players who are sufficiently patient prefer to put the most
important issue first.

4) In agenda 1 player 1 demands the interior solution x1, but in agenda 2 he
obtains the entire surplus (i.e., b<α
i <o). Then, at the limit for ∆ 0, the
difference v
1 u1 is as follows

λ1((1 α1)r2(r1 + Г2) + 2r1r2λ2α2) (ri + Г2)2 α1r2(r1 Г2)
(ri + Г2)2

while v2 u2 becomes

r1 1λ2α2 (r1 r2) + λ1(r1 + r2)(1 α2) + 2α1r2

(40)


(r1 + r2)2λ1
