On the consistency of the Banzhaf semivalue (Q1304782)

In this note we show that the Banzhaf semivalue is consistent with respect to a suitable reduced game which keeps a clear parallelism with that defined by \textit{S. Hart} and \textit{A. Mas-Colell} [Econometrica 57, No. 4, 589--614 (1989; Zbl 0675.90103)] to prove the consistency of the Shapley value. We also use this reduced game property to characterize the Banzhaf semivalue.
