Collusion, quarrel, and the Banzhaf value

International Journal of Game Theory volume 43, pages 1–11 (2014)Cite this article

Abstract

We provide new, concise characterizations of the Banzhaf value on a fixed player set employing just the standard dummy player property and one of the collusion properties suggested by Haller (Int J Game Theory 23:261–281, 1994) and Malawski (Int J Game Theory 31:47–67, 2002). Within these characterizations, any of the collusion properties can be replaced by additivity and the quarrel property due to the latter author.
