Abstract

This paper develops an extension of the recursive core to the setting of overlapping coalitions. We show that the cooperative game theoretical traditional way of separating a deviant coalition from the game played by the ones left behind is no more satisfactory. We therefore introduce a new paradigm with which we obtain the overlapping coalition structure core whose allocations are Pareto-efficient.
