Abstract

We consider a class of multistage multicriteria games in extensive form with chance moves where the players cooperate to maximize their expected joint vector payoff. Assuming that the players have agreed to accept the minimal sum of relative deviations rule in order to choose a unique Pareto optimal payoffs vector, we prove the time consistency of the optimal cooperative strategy profile and corresponding optimal bundle of the cooperative trajectories. Then, if the players adopt a vector analogue of the Shapley value as the solution concept, they need to design an appropriate imputation distribution procedure to ensure the sustainability of the achieved cooperative agreement. We provide a generalization of the incremental payment schedule that is applicable for the games with chance moves and satisfies such advantageous properties as the efficiency, strict balance condition and the time consistency property in the whole game. We illustrate our approach with an example of the extensive-form game tree with chance moves.

The reported study was funded by RFBR under the research project 18-00-00727 (18-00-00725).
