Popis: This paper analyzes how a salience bias of the defendant influences the settlement process and outcome. We consider the classic screening model in which the plaintiff makes a settlement demand on the privately informed defendant. In our framework, the plaintiff’s settlement demand increases with the defendant’s salience bias and the defendant’s salience bias may make the plaintiff worse off.
