Supporting triangle for Nash bargaining
ID: supporting-triangle-for-nash-bargaining
Normalize a positive Nash product maximizer and the disagreement point to and zero. The first-order product inequality along every feasible segment places the transformed set in . Compactness allows a symmetric containing triangle with finite lower coordinate bounds. Bargaining symmetry and Pareto efficiency choose in that triangle; bargaining independence of irrelevant alternatives transfers this choice to the original normalized set. Positive affine invariance in bargaining then proves the full characterization.
