We integrate individual power in groups into general equilibrium models with endogenous group formation. We distinguish … between formal power (the say in group decisions) and real power (utility gain from being in groups). Their values will be … determined as part of the equilibrium. We find that higher formal power does not necessarily translate into higher equilibrium …

We integrate individual power in groups into general equilibrium models. The relationship between group formation …, resource allocation, and the power of specific individuals or particular sociological groups is investigated. We introduce, via … an illustrative example, three appealing concepts of power and show that there is no monotonic relationship between these …

We propose a formal concept of the power of voice in the context of a simple model where individuals form groups and … power of the members of a group, which constitutes an instance of the power of voice. The adopted equilibrium concept … endogenizes the outside options as well as the power of voice. In our illustrative example, there exists an equilibrium that …
