Coalition Formation [PDF]

open access: possible, 2015
This chapter surveys the sizable and growing literature on coalition formation. We refer to theories in which one or more groups of agents (“coalitions”) deliberately get together to jointly determine their actions. The defining idea of a coalition, in this chapter, is that of a group which can coordinate agreements among its members, while it ...

ENDOGENOUS FORMATION OF COALITIONS [PDF]

open access: possibleInternational Game Theory Review, 2008
We develop a model of coalition formation based on personal proximities among the players of an n-person game. Several examples are worked out in detail, showing that certain coalitions are much more stable than others, and/or much more likely to form than others. We also consider the dynamics of such coalition-formation.

Growth and Coalition Formation [PDF]

open access: possible, 2005
In this paper we analyse a growth model where agents have different factor endowments and form coalitions to produce output. Economic growth is the result of the accumulation of human capital. The latter in turn is a by-product of the production activity within a coalition. The maximum rate of growth is obtained when the grand coalition forms. However,

Endogenous Formation of Coalitions

Econometrica, 1983
THE FORMATION OF COALITIONS is a fundamental problem in game theory. By a "coalition" is meant a group of "players" (e.g., economic or political agents) which decide to act together, as one unit, relative to the rest of the players. This includes the instances of syndicates, unions, cartels, blocks, political parties, parliamentary coalitions, etc.

The price of democracy in coalition formation [PDF]

open access: possibleInternational Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2009
Whenever rational agents form coalitions to execute tasks, doing so via a decentralized negotiation process---while more robust and democratic---may lead to a loss of efficiency compared to a centralized solution. To quantify this loss, we introduce the notion of the Price of Democracy (PoD), which measures the amount of resources needlessly committed ...

Stochastic Communication and Coalition Formation

Econometrica, 1986
Summary: We consider an economy in which agents may or may not communicate with each other. Coalitions can form only between linked agents. We consider two cases: agents must communicate directly to be in the same coalition or in the second case indirectly. We consider the communication to be random.

A new model of coalition formation

Social Choice and Welfare, 2005
In this paper, a new model of multidimensional coalition formation in politics is presented. The model provides an opportunity to analyze a number of different kinds of issues at the same time. A policy space consists of a finite number of independent sub-spaces (policy spaces on certain issues), which can be multidimensional. Any policy sub-space on a
