Mediators as the Walrasian Auctioneers of Exchange Theory

David Dickinson

No 2003-09, Working Papers from Utah State University, Department of Economics

Abstract: This article opens up mediation to systematic economic analysis by considering mediators as analogous to the Walrasian auctioneers of exchange theory. By altering trade-off rates among bargaining issues, mediators facilitate a process leading towards Pareto efficient voluntary settlements.
