We study coalitional games where the proceeds from cooperation depend on the entire coalition structure. The coalition … structure core (Kóczy, 2007) is a generalisation of the coalition structure core for such games. We introduce a noncooperative …, sequential coalition formation model and show that the set of equilibrium outcomes coincides with the recursive core. In order to …
