We propose an axiomatic framework that allows a unified analysis of the core and three other related cooperative … solution concepts that are applicable even when the core itself is empty. Existing axiomatizations of the core and similar … domains. Our characterization of the core can be adapted to axiomatize extensions of the core concept that generate …

How are contracts formed when agents face uncertainty, have asymmetric information and cannot write binding agreements? In this paper we propose a solution to this problem. Agents can discuss state-contingent allocations but cannot write binding contracts. At any stage in the contract formation...

A longstanding criticism of the core is that it is too sensitive to small changes in player numbers, as in a well known … and decreasing over time even with institutions that facilitate collusion and, consistent with core theory, a …

We introduce the constrained egalitarian surplus-sharing rule fCE, which distributes an amount of a divisible resource so that the poorer agents' resulting payoffs become equal but not larger than any remaining agent's status quo payoff. We show that fCE is characterized by Pareto optimality,...
