Potential, value, and random partitions

Author

Listed:
  • Casajus, André
Abstract
We provide a new interpretation of the potential of the Shapley value as the expected worth of some random partition of the player set. Using this insight, we advocate the potential as an index of power concentration in simple monotonic games.
