3 1 Introducton [Joo96] ntroduced the α-dscounted Shapley value, whch s a value that takes nto account both margnalsm and egaltaransm The α-dscounted Shapley value of coaltonal game N, v s the Shapley value of coaltonal game N, w such that for any S 2 N, w S = α N v S, where α [0, 1] [Joo96] axomatzed the α-dscounted Shapley value by the Hart Mas-Colell consstency and the α- standard ness 1 If α = 1 α = 0, the dscounted Shapley value s the Shapley value egaltaran value [HMC96] gave the Shapley value a noncooperatve foundaton [HMC96] presented a noncooperatve coaltonal barganng model wth nontransferable utltes, n whch f a proposal s reected, the player that offers the proposal becomes nactve wth probablty 1 ρ [HMC96] showed that the Shapley value s mplemented as the expected payoff tuple of any equlbrum n the transferable utlty case We gve the α-dscounted Shapley value a noncooperatve foundaton We ncorporate tme dscountng nto the model of [HMC96], n whch each player s supposed to not dscount future payoffs, n the transferable utlty case The ncorporaton of tme dscountng unfes the models of [HMC96] and [Oka93], 2 n whch the equlbrum payoff tuple s the egaltaran value We show that under the dscount factor δ, the δ1 ρ 1 ρδ -dscounted Shapley value s mplemented as the expected payoff tuple of any subgame-effcent statonary subgame perfect equlbrum SSPE, whch s an SSPE n whch the full coalton the coalton that conssts of all actve players forms wthout delay n every subgame We also show that the α-dscounted Shapley value approxmately concdes wth the ex post payoff tuple 3 by any subgame-effcent SSPE when ρ and δ go to unty wth δ1 ρ 1 ρδ α convergng to [vdbf10] also gave the α-dscounted Shapley value a noncooperatve foundaton [vdbf10] ncorporated tme dscountng nto the model of [PCW01] the bddng mechansm [vdbf10] showed that under the dscout factor δ, the δ-dscounted Shapley value s mplemented as the equlbrum payoff tuple Snce δ1 ρ 1 ρδ < δ, the value by the Hart Mas-Colell mplementaton n the present paper s closer to the egaltaran value than that by the Pérez-Castrllo Wettsten nplementaton n [vdbf10] Ths dfference mght be because the proposer whose proposal s reected becomes nactve wth a certan probablty n [HMC96] and wth certanty n [PCW01] Thus, f the proposer whose proposal s reected probablstcally becomes nactve n [PCW01], both approaches may mplement the same value 1 A value ϕ s α-standard f for any two-player coaltonal game N, v and any dstnct, N, ϕ N, v = vn+αv{} αv{} 2 2 [Oka93] s an earler verson of [Oka96] In [Oka93], when a coalton forms, the game ends; n [Oka96], after a coalton forms, the players that are outsde of the formed coalton contnue barganng 3 The ex post payoff tuple s the payoff tuple that s calculated provded a proposer was selected 2

4 [Joo96] ntroduced the egaltaran Shapley value, whch also takes nto account both margnalsm and egaltaransm The egaltaran Shapley value s a convex combnaton of the Shapley value and the egaltaran value [vdbfj13] ncorporated breakdown of negotaton nto the frst round of the bddng mechansm n [PCW01] and showed that the egaltaran Shapley value s mplemented as the equlbrum payoff tuple Whle n [HMC96], each proposer proposes only an allocaton for the full coalton, n the present paper, each proposer proposes both a coalton and an allocaton for the coalton Thus, n the present paper, a coalton structure s endogenously decded and a subcoalton mght form, whch leads to the neffcency under the superaddtvty Then, ths paper provdes a necessary and suffcent condton for a subgame-effcent SSPE to exst By ths condton, t s shown that there s a subgame-effcent SSPE when ρ and δ go to unty wth δ1 ρ 1 ρδ convergng to α only f for any subgame of the underlyng coaltonal game, the α-dscounted Shapley value of the subgame s n the core of the subgame, and f for any subgame, the α-dscounted Shapley value of the subgame s n the nteror of the core of the subgame [CGL14] and the present paper have studed the Hart Mas-Colell mplementaton of the dscounted Shapley value ndependently of each other [CGL14] ntroduced tme dscountng nto the model of [HMC96] and showed the concdence of the dscounted Shapley value and the equlbrum payoff tuple of the model The man dfference between [CGL14] and the present paper s as follows In [CGL14], each proposer proposes only an allocaton for the full coalton, that s, the full coalton formaton s assumed; n the present paper, each proposer proposes a coalton as well as an allocaton for the coalton, and a condton for the full coalton formaton s derved In [CGL14], the nontransferable utlty case s also consdered; n the present paper, only the transferable utlty case s consdered The remander of ths paper s organzed as follows Secton 2 descrbes a noncooperatve coaltonal barganng model; Secton 3 shows that the α-dscounted Shapley value s supported by any subgame-effcent SSPE; Secton 4 gves condtons for a subgame-effcent SSPE to exst; Secton 5 concludes ths paper The appendx contans proofs for all propostons 2 Model A coaltonal game s a par N, v such that N s a nonempty fnte set and v s a map from 2 N to R such that v = 0 A coaltonal game N, v s superaddtve f for any dsont S, T 2 N, v S T v S + v T Defnton 1 For any coaltonal game N, v, the α-dscounted Shapley value of 3

6 Ths defnton s based on [Oka96] Obvously, ρ < 1 or δ < 1 and the superaddtvty necesstate no delay and the full-coalton formaton for the subgame effcency, respectvely For any S S, let v S be the restrcton of v to S For any S S and any α [0, 1], let ˆϕ S α be the α-dscounted Shapley value of S, v S For any ρ, δ Π, let α ρ, δ := δ1 ρ 1 ρδ and ϕ S ρ, δ := ˆϕ S α ρ, δ Note that for any ρ, δ Π, α ρ, δ [0, 1] 3 Equlbrum payoff Theorem 1 states that the dscounted Shapley value s supported as the expected payoff tuple by any subgame-effcent SSPE Theorem 1 Let ρ, δ Π Let σ be a subgame-effcent SSPE of G ρ, δ Then, the expected payoff tuple by σ n any subgame that begns wth any state S s ϕ S ρ, δ Remark 1 For any ᾱ [0, 1], there exsts ρ, δ Π such that α ρ, δ = ᾱ For any ρ [0, 1, α ρ, 1 = 1; for any δ [0, 1, α 1, δ = 0 Theorem 1 s ntutvely explaned as follows At a round wth state S, f player s proposal s accepted, the total surplus for actve players s v S; otherwse, the expected total surplus for actve players s ρδv S + 1 ρ δv S \ {} As n [HMC96], player s SSPE payoff s determned accordng to the dfference n these total surpluses, whch s v S ρδv S + 1 ρ δv S \ {} = 1 ρδ v S α ρ, δ v S \ {} Thus, the expected SSPE payoff tuple s the α ρ, δ-shapley value Snce the future payoffs are dscounted, n the above calculaton, v S \ {} s dscounted but v S s not dscounted n the case where the proposal s accepted Thus, v S \ {} s more dscounted than v S Corollary 1 states that the dscounted Shapley value s approxmately supported as the ex post payoff tuple by any subgame-effcent SSPE Corollary 1 Let ρ n, δ n n N be a sequence n Π such that lm n ρ n = 1, lm n δ n = 1 and lm n α ρ n, δ n = ᾱ for some ᾱ [0, 1] Let σ n n N be a sequence such that for any n N, σ n s a subgame-effcent SSPE of G ρ n, δ n Let S S and S Then, the payoff tuple by σ n n any subgame that begns wth player s proposng node under state S converges to ˆϕ S ᾱ as n goes to nfnty Remark 2 For any ᾱ [0, 1], there exsts a sequence ρ n, δ n n N be a sequence n Π such that lm n ρ n = 1, lm n δ n = 1 and lm n α ρ n, δ n = ᾱ For any sequence ρ n, δ n n N n Π such that δ n = 1 for any n N, α ρ n, δ n = 1 for any n N; for any sequence ρ n, δ n n N n Π such that ρ n = 1 for any n N, α ρ n, δ n = 0 for any n N 5

8 5 Concluson In ths paper, we showed that the α-dscounted Shapley value s supported by any subgame-effcent SSPE We also provded condtons for a subgame-effcent SSPE to exst Fnally, followng [MW95], we conecture that f we allow ρ, δ = 1, 1, when for any S S, the core of S, v S s nonempty, any SSPE payoff tuple n the subgame wth actve-player set S s n the core of S, v S, and any allocaton n the core of S, v S s supported as some SSPE payoff tuple n the subgame wth actve-player set S 7
