The core and nucleolus in a model of information transferal (Q1760665)

Summary: \textit{P. L. Galdeano} et al. [Int. Game Theory Rev. 12, No. 1, 19--35 (2010; Zbl 1207.91011)] introduced the so-called information market game involving \(n\) identical firms acquiring a new technology owned by an innovator. For this specific cooperative game, the nucleolus is determined through a characterization of the symmetrical part of the core. The nonemptiness of the (symmetrical) core is shown to be equivalent to one of each, super additivity, zero-monotonicity, or monotonicity.
