"Notes on the Theory of Bargaining"

"Notes on the Theory of Bargaining" by John Nash explores how two or more parties negotiate to reach mutually beneficial agreements. It introduces the concept of the Nash Bargaining Solution, which predicts the most fair and efficient outcome based on each party's options and bargaining power. Essentially, it models how people or groups can divide resources or settle disputes fairly, considering the alternatives available if negotiations fail. The work provides a mathematical framework to understand strategic bargaining, helping explain real-world negotiations in economics, politics, and business.
