Two-Stage Bargaining with Reversible Coalitions : The Case of Apex Games
Montero, M.P. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2002
This paper studies coalition formation and payoff division in apex games under the following assumptions: first, payoff … division can only be agreed upon after the coalition has formed (two-stage bargaining); second, negotiations in the coalition … can break down, in which case a new coalition may be formed (reversible coalitions).In contrast with the results of other …

On the Equivalence between some Local and Global Chinese Postman and Traveling Salesman Graphs
Granot, D.; Hamers, H.J.M. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2000
A connected graph G=(V,E), a vertex in V and a non-negative weight function defined on Ecan be used to induce Chinese postman and traveling salesman (cooperative) games. A graph G=(V,E) is said to be locally (respectively, globally) Chinese postman balanced (respectively, totally balanced,...

On Games Arising From Multi-Depot Chinese Postman Problems
Platz, T.T.; Hamers, H.J.M. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2013
This paper introduces cooperative games arising from multi-depot Chinese postman problems and explores the properties of these games. A multi-depot Chinese postman problem (MDCP) is represented by a connected (di)graph G, a set of k depots that is a subset of the vertices of G, and a...

A Game Theoretical Approach to Sharing Penalties and Rewards in Projects
Estevez Fernandez, M.A. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2008
This paper analyzes situations in which a project consisting of several activities is not realized according to plan. If the project is expedited, a reward arises. Analogously, a penalty arises if the project is delayed. This paper considers the case of arbitrary monotonic reward and penalty...

Coalition Formation and Potential Games
Slikker, M. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 1999
In this paper we study the formation of coalition structures in situations described by a cooperative game. Players … choose independently which coalition they want to join. The payoffs to the players are determined by an allocation rule on … the underlying game and the coalition structure that results from the strategies of the players according to some …

Link formation in cooperative situations
Dutta, B.; van den Nouweland, C.G.A.M.; Tijs, S.H. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 1995
In this paper we study the endogenous formation of cooperation structures or communication graphs between players in a superadditive TU game. For each cooperation structure that is formed, the payoffs to the players are determined by an exogenously given solution. We model the process of...
