Abstract
abstract: we prove, under suitable assumptions, the existence of such utility functions u1, u2 for players 1 and 2, respectively, that player 1 prefers a simple two-person bargaining game with the status quo a to that with the same outcome set and the status quo b if and only if u1(a) - u1(b) > u2(a) - u2(b). the utility functions are unique up to their zero points and a common positive multiplier. we also extend this result to an arbitrary set of players. the derivation of utility does not involve any assumption concerning behaviour of individuals under risk.;
