The main objects here are two-stage games in which players first compete and subsequently collaborate. We consider …

models of communication and hierarchy restrictions in cooperative games, compare different network structures with each other … illustrate these network structures by applying them to cooperative games with restricted cooperation. …

We examine a new class of games, which we call social games, where players not only choose strategies but also choose … players in different roles, among other things. We also examine finite repetitions of games where players may choose to … rematch in any period. Some equilibria of fixed-player repeated games cannot be sustained as equilibria in a repeated social …

The equivalence of markets and games concerns the relationship between two sorts of structures that appear … fundamentally different -- markets and games. Shapley and Shubik (1969) demonstrates that: (1) games derived from markets with … concave utility functions generate totally balanced games where the players in the game are the participants in the economy …

This chapter studies the theory of value of games with infinitely many players.Games with infinitely many players are …-handed influence. The interactions are modeled as cooperative games with a continuum of players. In general, the continuum consists of … framework for mathematical analysis, and approximates the results for large finite games well. Also, it enables a unified view …
