Abstract

The Coase Conjecture for Rubinstein bargaining models with incomplete information and unilateral proposals states that „ if the length of the bargaining period converges to zero then the duration of the bargaining process converges to zero“. Initiated by a short story by Siegfried Lenz, first, the standard structure of the model is varied. The Coase Conjecture is proven to be true also in the case of additional bargaining costs. An indirect technique is applied which is simpler and shorter than the usual constructive proofs. Second, the short story serves to criticize the crude simplifications of normal game theoretic modelling of bargaining.
