Bargaining and Arbitration in Strategic Games with Private Information

Asymmetric private information amplifies the difficulty for players to cooperate and achieve efficiency in strategic games. We give a new cooperative solution for two-player *Bayesian* strategic games, which takes into account both elements of cooperation and competition.

Under a revealed payoff assumption, we give a simple incentive-compatible, efficient mechanism that implements this solution. We argue that this solution gives the unique 'fair' value using the axiomatic approach.
