In this paper we introduce an extension of the model of restricted communication in cooperative games as introduced in … Myerson (1977) by allowing communication links to be directed and the worth of a coalition to depend on the order in which the … players enter the coalition. Therefore, we model the communication network by a directed graph and the cooperative game by a …

We give an overview of the most common … models of communication and hierarchy restrictions in cooperative games, compare different network structures with each other … and discuss network structures that combine communication as well as hierarchical features. Throughout the survey, we …
