This paper considers simple dow situations. We introduce the minimum c
ut solution and characterize it in terms of one-person efficiency, con
sistency, and converse consistency. Furthermore, we give several relat
ions between the core of a simple Bow game and four other solution con
cepts: the minimum cut solution, the least core, the kernel, and the b
argaining set. Journal Of Economic Literature Classification Numbers:
