Abstract: We introduce a new approach to bargaining, with strategic and axiomatic foundations, into models of decentralized asset markets. Bargaining with an agenda assumes that asset portfolios are partitioned into bundles sold sequentially, and encompasses both the Nash and Kalai solutions as special cases. Gradual negotiations are optimal for portfolio holders and, in general equilibrium, they raise social welfare by reducing asset misallocation. In the presence of multiple assets, our theory generates a pecking order, and di§erences in returns and turnover. We apply our model to the study of open-market operations and the determination of the exchange rate between (crypto-)currencies.
