THE RIVER SHARING PROBLEM: A SURVEY

Sylvain Béal, Amandine Ghintran, Eric Rémila and Philippe Solal

International Game Theory Review (IGTR), 2013, vol. 15, issue 03, 1-19

Abstract: The river sharing problem deals with the fair distribution of welfare resulting from the optimal allocation of water among a set of riparian agents. Ambec and Sprumont [Sharing a river, J. Econ. Theor.107, 453–462] address this problem by modeling it as a cooperative TU-game on the set of riparian agents. Solutions to that problem are reviewed in this article. These solutions are obtained via an axiomatic study on the class of river TU-games or via a market mechanism.
