RT Journal Article T1 Weighing hierarchical power and active contribution in cooperative games with authorization structure A1 Alarcón Carrero, Antonio Carlos A1 Gallardo Morilla, José Manuel A1 Jiménez Losada, Andrés AB Cooperative games model situations in which a group of players work together tomake a profit. Frequently, in cooperative situations there are dependency or hierarchicalrelationships between the players, which must be taken into account whenallocating the common profit obtained by the grand coalition. Multiple structureshave been used in the literature to model those relationships, and several values havebeen proposed, but there is something in common in all of them: if a player can vetothe participation of another in any coalition, then both players will receive the sameshare of the profit derived from the active cooperation of the vetoed player. In otherwords, actively cooperating and giving permission to cooperate are equally valued.In many situations this is neither fair nor realistic. In this paper we introduce a familyof allocation rules for cooperative games with authorization structure, whichreward positional power less than active cooperation.
