Shapley Value
Sergiu Hart
Abstract
The Shapley value is an a priori
evaluation of the prospects of a player in a
multi-person game. Introduced by Lloyd S. Shapley in 1953, it has become a
central solution concept in cooperative game theory. The Shapley value has
been applied to economic, political, and other models.
