We integrate individual power in groups into general equilibrium models with endogenous group formation. We distinguish … between formal power (the say in group decisions) and real power (utility gain from being in groups). Their values will be … determined as part of the equilibrium. We find that higher formal power does not necessarily translate into higher equilibrium …

Power is a core concept in the analysis and design of organisations. In this paper we consider positional power in … hierarchies. One of the problems with the extant literature on positional power in hierarchies is that it is mainly restricted to … the analysis of power in terms of the bare positions of the actors. While such an analysis informs us about the authority …

We integrate individual power in groups into general equilibrium models. The relationship between group formation …, resource allocation, and the power of specific individuals or particular sociological groups is investigated. We introduce, via … an illustrative example, three appealing concepts of power and show that there is no monotonic relationship between these …
