We analyze the final-offer salary arbitration when the parties have perfect information on the evaluation of the arbitrator. We use a discrete model in which the parties offer discrete numbers. We apply the criterion of successive elimination of weakly dominated offers to identify the final outcomes. We found that attitudes toward risk affected outcomes. When parties are risk-averse, the outcome of the arbitration is equal to the arbitrator’s evaluation. When the parties are risk-neutral or weakly risk-loving, the outcome diverges slightly from the arbitrator’s evaluation. When parties are strongly risk-loving, the outcomes are dispersed over a wide range of offers.
