The Structure of Fair-Division Problems and the Design of Fair-Negotiation Procedures

摘要: In this paper we analyze the structure of bilateral fair-division problems and show how it carries over to a wider spectrum multi-issue negotiations. This provides insight into extension algorithms more general fair-negotiation procedures. We develop simple procedural tool that can be used implement variety formal bargaining-theoretic solution concepts, where implementation here is supposed mean actual realization cooperative outcome in practice. An important feature algorithm requires only little computational effort. Due its tractability, thus also necessary argumentative support for negotiation process.
