Abstract

We consider a model where two agents, who own different shares of a resource, need to dissolve their partnerships efficiently. Both the agents have loss averse preferences (Tversky and Kahneman in Q J Econ 106:1039–1061, 1991; K szegi and Rabin in Q J Econ 121(121):1133–1165, 2006; K szegi and Rabin in Am Econ Rev 97(97):1047–1073, 2007). The efficiency is defined such that the ex-post sum of material valuations and gain–loss utilities is maximized. We show that no feasible, efficient, dominant strategy incentive compatible mechanism exists in this model.
