Abstract
Shapley (1953) writes: “At the foundation of the theory of games is the assumption that the players of a game can evaluate, in their utility scales, every “prospect” that might arise as a result of a play. In attempting to apply the theory to any field, one would normally expect to be permitted to include, in the class of “prospects”, the prospect of having to play a game. The possibility of evaluating the game is therefore of critical importance.” In this chapter we study the Shapley value which provides an a priori evaluation of every coalitional game.
