Abstract
More than half a century after the birth of game theory as an academic (sub)discipline, many experienced negotiators and mediators continue to work without any formal support from game theory or related subjects. In the last decades, hopes have risen that mathematical procedures for the fair division of goods might be able to bridge this gulf. “Adjusted Winner” (AW), a procedure suggested by Brams and Taylor [2], promises to satisfy several standards of fairness simultaneously and, for this reason will be scrutinized here.
