Implementation of bargaining sets via simple mechanisms

We propose two simple mechanisms that implement two bargaining sets in supe r-additive environments. The first bargaining set is a close variation of t he one proposed by L. Zhou (1994, Games Econom. Behav. 6, 512-526), and the second is the Pareto optimum payoffs of the A. Mas-Colell (1989, J. Math. Econom. 18, 129-139) bargaining set. We adopt a simple framework in which t he cooperative outcomes are realized as non-cooperative subgame perfect equ ilibria in pure strategies of a two-stage game played by an auxiliary set o f individuals competing over the cooperative agents.
