This Element reviews the parts of bargaining theory most important in philosophical applications and to social contract theory, discusses rational choice analyses of bargaining problems that focus on axiomatic analysis, the conventionalist analyses of bargaining problems, and how philosophers use bargaining theory to analyze the social contract.
Inductive Deliberation, Equilibrium and Convention
The book presents a novel theory of game theory equilibrium selection, focusing on general correlated equilibrium concepts. It offers a fresh perspective on the analysis of convention, challenging traditional views and expanding the understanding of strategic interactions in games. Vanderschraaf's work aims to deepen insights into how equilibria can be selected and understood within various contexts.
