Abstract

Three solution concepts for cooperative games with random payoffs are introduced. These are the marginal value, the dividend value and the selector value. Inspiration for their definitions comes from several equivalent formulations of the Shapley value for cooperative TU games. An example shows that these solutionscan all be different for cooperative games with random payoffs. Properties are studied and two characterizations on subclasses of games are provided.

Keywords: cooperative games, random variables, Shapley values
