The Potential of Multi-choice Cooperative Games

Hsiao, Chih-Ru and Yeh, Yeong-Nan and Mo, Jie-Ping (1994): The Potential of Multi-choice Cooperative Games.

Abstract

We defined the potential for multi-choice cooperative games, and found the relationship between the potential and the multi-choice Shapley value. Moreover, we show that the multi-choice Shapley is consistent.
