摘要:
We study equilibrium binding: agreements, the coalition structures that form under such agreements, and the efficiency of the outcomes that result. We analyze such agreements in a context where the payoff to each player depends on the actions of ail other players. Thus a game in strategic form is a natural starting point. Unlike the device of a characteristic Function, explicit attention is paid to the behavior of the complementary set of players when a coalition blocks a proposed agreement. A solution concept and its applications are discussed. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
