Saglam, Ismail (2016): Iterated Kalai-Smorodinsky-Nash Compromise.

Abstract

In this paper, we present a new n-person bargaining solution, which we call Iterated Kalai-Smorodinsky-Nash Compromise. We show that this solution is the unique solution satisfying a new axiom called Kalai-Smorodinsky-Nash Decomposability.
