We provide an alternative interpretation of the Shapley value in TU games as the unique maximizer of expected Nash welfare. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014

We provide new characterization results for the value of games in partition function form. In particular, we use the potential of a game to define the value. We also provide a characterization of the class of values which satises one form of reduced game consistency.
