We apply the aggregation property of Identical Shape Harmonic Absolute Risk Aversion (ISHARA) utility functions to analyze the comparative statics properties of a bargaining model with uncertainty. We identify sufficient and necessary conditions under which an increase in one's degree of risk aversion bene…fits/hurts one's opponent.

Keywords: bargaining, the Nash Solution, ISHARA Preference, Risk Aversion
