Abstract

This survey of modeling of pretrial settlement bargaining organizes current main themes and recent developments. The basic concepts used are outlined as core models and then a number of variations on these core models are discussed. The focus is on papers that emphasize formal models of settlement negotiation and the presentation is organized in game-theoretic terms, this being the principal tool being employed by analyses in this area; the discussion is aimed at the not-terribly-technical non-specialist. The survey also illustrates some of the basic notions and assumptions of information economics and of (cooperative and noncooperative) game theory.
