Abstract

In this note, we state a zero-maximum principle for core allocations, a result which was foreseen by Luenberger (1995). We prove a generalization of the first-zero maximum theorem of Luenberger. Roughly said, an allocation is in the core if for every coalition, the sum of individual benefit functions is non-positive. We also provide some partial converses which give a generalization of the second-zero maximum theorem of Luenberger.
