Null or Zero Players: The Difference between the Shapley Value and the Egalitarian Solution
van den Brink, René - 2004
A situation in which a finite set of players can generate certain payoffs by cooperation can be described by a cooperative game with transferable utility. A solution for TU-games assigns to every TU-game a distribution of the payoffs that can be earned over the individual players. Two well-known...
