Claremont Colleges Working Paper No. 2002-04

Abstract:
Bargaining over two issues as a bundle permits credible cheap talk about their relative importance even when interests are directly opposed on each issue. The resulting communication gains can exceed the gains from bundling previously identified in the monopoly pricing literature.

Keywords: cheap talk, bargaining, multidimensional cheap talk, multi-issue negotiations
