Intuitive Solutions in Game Representations: The Shapley Value Revisited

Author

  • Pradeep Dubey

Abstract

We show that any transferable utility game can be represented by an assignment of facilities to the players, in which it is intuitively obvious how to allocate the total cost of the facilities. The intuitive solution in the representation turns out to be the Shapley value of the game.
