Priority setting in health care: an axiomatic bargaining approach.
This paper examines how axiomatic bargaining theory can be used to analyze different rules for dividing the health care budget between two patients. This approach allows an explicit statement of the assumptions underlying the division rules and also provides a general characterization of the consequences of using these rules when the opportunity set (or number of patients) changes.
