A Fictitious-Play Model of Bargaining To Implement the Nash Solution [PDF]
We present a fictitious-play model of bargaining, where two bargainers play the Nash demand game repeatedly. The bargainers make a deliberate decision on their demands in the initial period and then follow a fictitious play process subsequently.
