We introduce asymptotic analysis of stochastic games with short-stage duration. The play of stage k, k≥0, of a stochastic game Γ <Subscript> δ </Subscript> with stage duration δ is interpreted as the play in time kδ≤t(k+1)δ and, therefore, the average payoff of the n-stage play per unit of time is the sum of...</subscript>

Building on the work of Nash, Harsanyi, and Shapley, we define a cooperative solution for strategic games that takes account of both the competitive and the cooperative aspects of such games. We prove existence in the general (NTU) case and uniqueness in the TU case. Our main result is an...
