Axiomatization of the core of positive games

Author

    (UCLouvain)

Abstract

We show that, when restricted to positive games, games whose Harsanyi dividends are non-negative, additivity together with efficiency, individual rationality and the null player property, characterizes the core as a maximal set-valued solution.
