Sequential coalition formation and the core in the presence of externalities

László Á. Kóczy ()

No 801, Working Paper Series from Budapest Tech, Keleti Faculty of Economics

Abstract: The sequential coalition formation model of Bloch (1996) to solve cooperative games with externalities exhibits some anomalies when related to classical concepts. We elaborate on these problems, define a modification of Bloch's model and show that its order-independent equilibria coincide with the (pessimistic) recursive core.
