Fairness and Inefficient Divorce

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This paper introduces a new mechanism for inefficient divorce based on fairness concerns. In the event of a shock to divorce utilities, it may be impossible to renegotiate terms to save an efficient marriage if inequity aversion is sufficiently strong. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
