In this paper we introduce and characterize two new values for transferable utility games with graph restricted … communication and a priori unions. Both values are obtained by applying the Shapley value to an associated TU-game. The graph …

The equivalence of markets and games concerns the relationship between two sorts of structures that appear … fundamentally different -- markets and games.

In this paper we introduce an extension of the model of restricted communication in cooperative games as introduced in … Myerson (1977) by allowing communication links to be directed and the worth of a coalition to depend on the order in which the … players enter the coalition. Therefore, we model the communication network by a directed graph and the cooperative game by a …

In standard coalition games, players try to form a coalition to secure a prize and a coalition agreement specifies how …
