Travail de recherche/Working paper
| Résumé : | We develop and extend notions of potentials for normal-form games (Monderercand Shapley, 1996) to present a uniffied approach for the general class of social environments. The different potentials and corresponding social environments can be ordered in terms of their permissiveness. We classify different methods to construct potentials and we characterize potentials for specific examples such as matching problems, vote trading, multilateral trade, TU games, and various pillage games. |
