Merging and Splitting in Cooperative Games: Some (Im)Possibility Results

Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review

Abstract

Allocation rules for cooperative games can be manipulated by coalitions merging into single players, or, conversely, players splitting into a number of smaller units. This paper collects some (im)possibility results on merging- and splitting-proofness of (core) allocation rules for cooperative games with side-payments.
