Sequentially Stable Coalition Structures [PDF]
Sequentially Stable Coalition Structures,, 2007 In this paper, we examine the question of which coalition structures farsighted players form in coalition formation games with externalities. We introduce a stability concept for a coalition structure called a sequentially stable coalition structure. Our

On coalition formation: durable coalition structures [PDF]
Mathematical Social Sciences, 2003 A hedonic game consists of a finite set of players and, for each one of them, a preference relation (complete preordering) on the set of coalitions to which the player belongs. The concept is hereditary for subsets of players. A coalition structure (CS, in the sequel) is a partition of the player set.
