COWLES FOUNDATION DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 747 "Some Three Person Games in Coalitional Form for Teaching and Experimentation" Martin Shubik May 1985 Since 1973 I have used several three person games in coalitional form for both teaching
and experimental purposes. They have been run in primarily a normative mode. The
individuals have been asked to act as judges called upon to recommend a division of assets
among three players. The basic use of these games has been to help to raise questions
about context and solution concepts in cooperative game theory. Since 1980 the three basic
games noted below have been used with five more or less similar groups of students at
Yale. The games, their didactic purpose and the results from the normative suggestions as
to how the players should be rewarded are noted here and then these results are compared
with previous games. Furthermore, some extra sensitivity analysis problems are noted. |
