Chapter 56 Values of games with infinitely many players
Neyman, Abraham - In: Handbook of game theory with economic applications : …, (pp. 2121-2167). 2002
This chapter studies the theory of value of games with infinitely many players.Games with infinitely many players are …-handed influence. The interactions are modeled as cooperative games with a continuum of players. In general, the continuum consists of … framework for mathematical analysis, and approximates the results for large finite games well. Also, it enables a unified view …

An axiomatic characterization of a value for games in partition function form
Hu, Cheng-Cheng; Yang, Yi-You - In: SERIEs : Journal of the Spanish Economic Association 1 (2010) 4, pp. 475-487
An extension of the Shapley value for games in partition function form is proposed in the paper. We introduce a version … the system of axioms provided by Shapley (A value for n-Person games. In: Kuhn H, Tucker A (eds) Contributions to the … theory of games II. Princeton University Press, Princeton, pp 307317, 1953) to characterize our value. In addition, we …

On the impact of independence of irrelevant alternatives : the case of two-person NTU games
Peleg, Bezalel; Sudhölter, Peter; Zarzuelo, José M. - In: SERIEs : Journal of the Spanish Economic Association 3 (2012) 1/2, pp. 143-156
On several classes of n-person NTU games that have at least one Shapley NTU value, Aumann characterized this solution …, provided that the class of games is not further restricted. Moreover, we present an example of a solution that satisfies the … first five axioms and violates IIA for two-person NTU games (N, V ) with uniformly p-smooth V(N). -- NTU game ; Shapley NTU …

Preferences, actions and voting rules
Artabe, Alaitz; Laruelle, Annick; Valenciano, Federico - In: SERIEs : Journal of the Spanish Economic Association 3 (2012) 1/2, pp. 15-28
In this paper we address several issues related to collective dichotomous decision-making by means of quaternary voting rules, i.e., when voters may choose between four actions: voting yes, voting no, abstaining and not turning up-which are aggregated by a voting rule into a dichotomous...

Sharing a polluted river through environmental taxes
Gómez-Rúa, María - In: SERIEs : Journal of the Spanish Economic Association 4 (2013) 2, pp. 137-153
n agents located along a river generate residues that then require cleaning to return the river to its natural state, which entails some cost. We propose several rules to distribute the total pollutant-cleaning cost among all the agents. We provide axiomatic characterizations using properties...

Mediation in claims problems
Giménez-Gómez, José-Manuel; Peris, Josep E. - In: SERIEs : Journal of the Spanish Economic Association 5 (2014) 4, pp. 357-375
Mediation is a dispute resolution process whereby agents reach a mutually acceptable agreement among different proposals that satisfy a set of principles. This paper provides a natural way of coming to such agreements in claims problems. In our approach, mediation combines (i) a set of fair...
