. The core predicts a unique and extreme outcome: the entire surplus is split evenly among the buyers when m > n and among … the sellers when m < n; the long side gets nothing. We test this core conjecture in the lab with n + m = 3 or 5 randomly … agreements while trading. Despite frequent attempts to collude and occasional large deviations from the core prediction, we find …

is possible). By defining the novel concept 'altruistic core', we can explain the occurrence of inefficient matches as …

core coincides with the set of cost-minimized Walras allocations. Because of the indivisibility, the preference …

. We prove that the strong core coincides with the set of cost-minimized Walras allocations which satisfy both the …

. Do pure indivisibilities prevent core equivalence? Core equivalence theorem in an atomless economy with purely … agents, the core coincides with the set of Walras allocations. We show that this equivalence holds only in an atomless … economy by giving two examples of the sequence of replica economies such that in any replica economy, there exists a core …

We investigate the relationship between certain subsets of the core for TU market games and competitive payoff vectors … and Shubik (1975). They remark already that their result can be extended to any closed convex subset of the core, but they …

We consider the inner core as a solution concept for cooperative games with non- transferable utility (NTU) and its … subsets of the inner core for NTU market games and competitive payoff vectors of markets linked to the NTU market game. This … large class of closed subsets of the inner core: Given an NTU market game we construct a market depending on a given closed …

We investigate the relationship between the inner core and asymmetric Nash bargaining solutions for n-person bargaining … positive vectors of weights coincides with the inner core if all points in the underlying bargaining set are strictly positive …
