Abstract
⺠Generalized Utilitarian Bargaining solutions (GUBS) violate solidarity. ⺠Cardinal properties of individuals' utility functions matter for GUBS. ⺠We introduce ATU, a utility domain that shares with TU the same ordinal properties. ⺠ATU allows for a much broader range of cardinal properties than TU. ⺠We prove that GUBS satisfy solidarity if and only if utility profiles satisfy ATU.
