Modeling a Multi-Choice Game Based on the Spirit of Equal Job opportunities

Hsiao, Chih-Ru and Chiou, Wen-Lin (2009): Modeling a Multi-Choice Game Based on the Spirit of Equal Job opportunities.

Abstract

The H&R multi-choice Shapley value defined by Hsiao and Raghavan for multi-choice cooperative game is redundant free. If the H&R value is used as the solution of a game, there won't be any objection to a player's taking redundant actions. Therefore, the spirit of the law on equal job opportunities is automatically fulfilled.
