A power measure is monotone if a player with a larger weight is assigned at least as much power as a player with a … smaller weight in the same weighted majority game. Failure of a power index to satisfy monotonicity is often considered a …

Given a simple game, a power configuration specifies the power of each player in each winning coalition. We introduce a … new power configuration which takes into account bargaining among players in coalitions. We show that under very weak … conditions on a bargaining solution there is a power configuration which is stable with respect to renegotiations. We further …

Even though endogenous bargaining outcomes reflect the players' unequal fighting … strengths, strategic uncertainty causes outcomes to be most efficient when power is balanced. In turn, the importance of …
