Values for Games without Sidepayments: Some Difficulties with Current Concepts
Alvin E. Roth
Abstract
Two solution concepts for games without sidepayments are considered: the stable bargaining solution proposed by Harsanyi[6, 7], and the $\lambda$-transfer value first proposed by Shapley [19]. Some examples of games are considered for which both solution concepts yield results which are highly counter-intuitive, and which seem to be inconsistent with the hypothesis that the games are played by rational players.
