On the axiomatization of the τ-value

Top Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The τ-value is a solution concept for a subclass of games with transferable utility introduced and axiomatized by Tijs (1981, 1987). In this note an alternative characterization of the τ-value by means of five axioms is offered. Two of them are well-known: efficiency and translation equivalence; the other three relate the solution of a game with the minimal and maximal aspiration vectors involved in the definition of the τ-value.
