An Algorithm for Stable and Equitable Coalition Structures with Public Goods

Fan-chin Kung ()

Game Theory and Information from EconWPA

Abstract: We study the formation of coalitions that provide public goods to members. Individuals are linked on a tree graph and those with similar preferences are connected on the tree. We present a solution that selects allocations belonging to the coalition structure core and that are also envy-free.
