Composition properties in the river claims problem
Ansink, Erik; Weikard, Hans-Peter - 2013
In a river claims problem, agents are ordered linearly, and they have both an initial water endowment as well as a claim to the total water resource. We provide characterizations of two solutions to this problem, using Composition properties which have particularly relevant interpretations for...

The economics of transboundary river management
Ansink, Erik; Houba, Harold - 2014
We survey the economics of transboundary river water allocation, which emerged in the 1960s and has matured over the last decade due to increasing concerns over water scarcity and pollution. We outline the major approaches and pay specific attention to the strategic aspects of transboundary...

How to pollute a river if you must
Yang, Yuzhi; Ansink, Erik; Gudmundsson, Jens - 2023
We propose the river pollution claims problem to distribute a pollution budget among agents located along a river. A key distinction with the standard claims problem is that agents are ordered exogenously. For environmental reasons, the location of pollution along the river is an important...

On the 1-Nucleolus for classes of cooperative games
Estévez-Fernández, A.; Borm, P.; Fiestras-Janeiro, M.G.; … - 2015
This paper analyzes the 1-nucleolus and, in particular, its relation to the nucleolus and compromise value. It is seen that the 1-nucleolus of a cooperative game can be characterized using a combination of standard bankruptcy rules for associated bankruptcy problems. In particular, for any...

Computation of the nucleolus for a class of disjunctive games with a permission structure
Brink, René van den; Katsev, Ilya; Laan, Gerard van der - 2008
A situation in which a finite set of players can obtain certain payoffs by cooperation can be described by a cooperative game with transferable utility, or simply a TU-game. A (single-valued) solution for TU-games assigns a payoff distribution to every TU-game. A well-known solution is the...
