Baseball Arbitration

In "baseball arbitration", the neutral arbitrator must choose which of the disputant’s sealed offers is the more reasonable, taking specified considerations into account. There is no ability to split the difference. The disputants are bound to accept the decision. This structure is designed to force the disputants to be reasonable, for fear the arbitrator will choose the other disputant's offer.
