In this paper conditions are given guaranteeing that the Core equals the D-core (the set of unDominated imputations). Under these conditions, we prove the non-emptiness of the intersection of the Weber set with the imputation set. This intersection has a special stability property: it is...

In this paper we characterize convex games by means of Owen's multilinear extension and the marginal worth vectors associated with even or odd permutations. Therefore we have obtained a refinement of the classic theorem; Shapley (1971), Ichiishi (1981) in order to characterize the convexity of a...

The Böhm-Bawerk horse markets are assignment markets with homogeneous goods that are known to have a one-dimensional core. We show here that, although there exist two-sided assignment games with non-homogeneous products and with a segment as a core, the Böhm-Bawerk horse markets are the only...

We characterize single-valued solutions of transferable utility cooperative games satisfying core selection and aggregate monotonicity. Fur- thermore, we show that these two properties are compatible with individual rationality, the dummy player property and the symmetry property. We nish...

The monotonic core of a cooperative game with transferable utility is the set formed by all its Population Monotonic Allocation Schemes. In this paper we show that this set always coincides with the core of a certain game, with and without restricted cooperation, associated to the initial game.

A necessary condition for the coincidence of the bargaining sets dened by Shimomura (1997) and the core of a cooperative game with transferable utility is provided. To this aim, a set of payo vectors, called max-payo vectors, are introduced. This necessary condition simply checks whether these...

In the framework of bilateral assignment games, we study the set of matrices associated with assignment markets with the same core. We state conditions on matrix entries that ensure that the related assignment games have the same core. We prove that the set of matrices leading to the same core...

We introduce the aggregate-monotonic core as the set of allocations of a transferable utility cooperative game attainable by single-valued solutions that satisfy core-selection and aggregate-monotonicity. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the coincidence of the core and the...
