This paper employs the Chi-value to analyse who benefits from investments in general or in specific human capital, the employer or the employee. Within this framework, we replicate the standard results of human capital theory.

In this paper, we employ the coalition structure approach of cooperative game theory to analyse three problems. First, we group local authorities in special purpose associations in an optimal way. Second, we use the PCore (Casajus, A, Tutic, A (<CitationRef CitationID="CR4">2007</CitationRef>) <ExternalRef> <RefSource>http://www.uni-leipzig.de/~micro/pcore.pdf</RefSource> <RefTarget Address="http://www.uni-leipzig.de/~micro/pcore.pdf" TargetType="URL"/>...</refsource></externalref></citationref>

In this article, we employ team games (Hernández-Lamoneda and Sánchez-Sánchez, 2010) and the Shapley (1953) value to analyse the performance/importance of players in teams of the Bundesliga (German football league) in the season 2012/2013.

In this article, we analyse the distribution of voting power in governing coalitions of the German Laender (states). In a first step, we use the number of votes of parties in a parliament to determine the voting power of the parties. Based on these results, we apply the <inline-formula> <inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="rael_a_797548_o_ilm0001.gif"/> </inline-formula>-power index (Casajus,...
