This paper studies the core of combined games, obtained by summing two coalitional games. It is shown that the set of … core of the combined game coincides with the sum of the cores of its components. On the other hand, for non-balanced games …, the binary relation associating two component games whose combination has an empty core is not transitive. However, we …

We present a new notion of cardinal revealed preference that exploits the expenditure information in classical consumer theory environments with finite data. We propose a new behavioral axiom, Acyclic Enticement (AE), that requires the acyclicity of the cardinal revealed-preference relation. AE...
