## Nash bargaining with (almost) no rationality.(English)Zbl 1331.91025

Summary: I axiomatize the $$n$$-person asymmetric Nash bargaining solution on the basis of independence of irrelevant alternatives, independence of equivalent utility representations, feasible set continuity, and conflict-freeness – the requirement that the solution selects the ideal point whenever it is feasible to do so.
