Abstract: In this study, we apply the aggregation property of Identical Shape Harmonic Absolute Risk Aversion 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 benefits/hurts one’s opponent. We apply our model to analyze the problems of bargaining over both insurance and incentive contracts. Copyright Springer-Verlag Wien 2015
