The Core and Nucleolus in a Model of Information Transferal

Abstract EN

Galdeano et al.

introduced the so-called information market game involving n identical firms acquiring a new technology owned by an innovator.

For this specific cooperative game, the nucleolus is determined through a characterization of the symmetrical part of the core.

The nonemptiness of the (symmetrical) core is shown to be equivalent to one of each, super additivity, zero-monotonicity, or monotonicity.
