Implementation of the Recursive Core for Partition Function Form Games∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
In partition function form games, the recursive core (r-core) is implemented by a modified version of Perry and Reny’s (1994) non-cooperative game. Specifically, every stationary subgame perfect Nash equilibrium (SSPNE) outcome is an r-core outcome. With the additional assumption of total r-balancedness, every r-core outcome is an SSPNE outcome.

The Recursive Core for Non-Superadditive Games
In general partition function form games, the recursive core coalition structure may be either coarser or finer than the one that maximizes the social surplus. Moreover, the recursive core structure is typically different from the one predicted by the α-core. We fully implement the recursive core for general games, including non-superadditive games where the grand coalition does not form in equ...
متن کاملCore-stable networks with widespread externalities
We introduce a core-based stability concept for networks with widespread externalities. The model is a generalisation of the recursive core for partition function form games. We present a simple example of a favour network and show that the core is nonempty when players must pay transfers to intermediaries. This simple setting also models economic situations such as airline networks. Subject cl...
متن کاملThe Core of a Partition Function Game
We consider partition function games and introduce new definitions of the core that include the effects of externalities. We assume that all players behave rationally and that all stable outcomes arising are consistent with the appropriate generalised concept of the core. The result is a recursive definition of the core where residual subgames are considered as games with fewer players and with...
متن کاملStationary Consistent Equilibrium Coalition Structures Constitute the Recursive Core
We study coalitional games where the coalitional payoffs depend on the entire coalition structure. We introduce a noncooperative, sequential coalition formation model and show that the set of equilibrium outcomes coincides with the recursive core, a generalisation of the core to such games. In order to extend past results limited to totally recursive-balanced partition function form games we in...
متن کاملExpectation formation rules and the core of partition function games
This paper proposes axiomatic foundations of expectation formation rules, by which deviating players anticipate the reaction of external players in a partition function game. The axioms single out the projection rule among the rules that depend on the current partition and the pessimistic rule among the ones that are independent of the current partition. This analysis suggests that the projecti...
