چکیده

In this paper we show that every finite-player game in characteristic function form obeying an innocuous condition (that the set of individually rational pay-off vectors are bounded) possesses a farsighted von-Neumann-Morgenstern stable set. JEL Classification No.: C71, D71.

A Farsighted Stable Set for Partition Function Games

In this paper, we introduce a concept of a farsighted stable set for a partition function game and interpret the union of all farsighted stable sets as the core of the game, to be called the strongcore, which reduces to the traditional core if the worth of every coalition is independent of the partition to which it belongs and the game is adequately represented by a characteristic function. We ...

Farsighted coalitional stability in TU-games

We study farsighted coalitional stability in the context of TUgames. Chwe (1994, p.318) notes that, in this context, it is difficult to prove nonemptiness of the largest consistent set. We show that every TU-game has a nonempty largest consistent set. Moreover, the proof of this result points out that each TU-game has a farsighted stable set. We go further by providing a characterization of the...

The University of Birmingham (Live System) Sufficient conditions for unique stable sets in three agent pillage games

Pillage games (Jordan, 2006a) have two features that make them richer than cooperative games in either characteristic or partition function form: they allow power externalities between coalitions; they allow resources to contribute to coalitions’ power as well as to their utility. Extending von Neumann and Morgenstern’s analysis of three agent games in characteristic function form to anonymous ...

Pillage games [Jordan, 2006, “Pillage and property”, JET] have two features that make them richer than cooperative games in either characteristic or partition function form: they allow power externalities between coalitions; they allow resources to contribute to coalitions’ power as well as to their utility.

Farsighted stable sets in Hotelling's location games

We apply farsighted stable set to two versions of Hotelling’s location games: one with linear market and another with circular market. It is shown that there always exists a farsighted stable set in both games. In particular, the set of all location profiles that yields equal payoff across all players is shown to be a farsighted stable set. This stable set contains location profiles that reflec...
