Sharing a collective probability of success

Author

Listed:
  • Dehez, Pierre

Abstract

How to allocate the probability of reaching a target resulting from the joint action of a group of players? This question is framed within transferable utility games. We analyze the properties of games resulting from different scenarios, characterize their core and provide a proper axiomatic foundation to their Shapley value.
