bargaining power

Voluntary trade is often beneficial for both traders. If you buy an apple at the farmer's market, hopefully both you and the farmer are better off after trading at whatever price you pay. This paper* asks how the benefits from trade get split among the traders. Who got the better deal, you or the farmer?

One thing that affects this is bargaining power. In this paper, bargaining power is determined by the number of other trading opportunities a particular trader has. If there is one farmer with one apple at a stall and two hungry buyers, it is natural to think the farmer has more bargaining power.

This paper formalizes the intuition that more trading opportunities often increase a trader's bargaining power, and thereby increase her share of the benefits from trade.

How Lemeridian funding service  grant me a loan!!!

Hello everyone, I'm Lea Paige Matteo from Zurich Switzerland and want to use this medium to express gratitude to lemeridian funding service for fulfilling his promise by granting me a loan, I was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organisations but never succeeded and most banks declined my credit request. But as God would have it, I was introduced by a friend named Lisa Rice to Le_meridian funding service and undergone the due process of obtaining a loan from the company, to my greatest surprise within 48hrs just like my friend Lisa, I was also granted a loan of $216,000.00 So my advise to everyone who desires a loan, "if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan online with low interest rate of 1.9% and better repayment plans/schedule, please contact Le_meridian funding service. Besides, he doesn't know that am doing this but due to the joy in me, I'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company whom truly give out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces.
