A Value for Games with n Players and r Alternatives

Author

  • Bolger, Edward M

Abstract

We study value theory for a class of games called games with n players and r alternatives. In these games, each of the n players must choose one and only one of the r alternatives. A linear, efficient value is obtained using three characterizations, two of which are axiomatic. This value yields as a priori evaluation for each player relative to each alternative.
