This note analyzes Shapley value's efficacy in measuring contributions in cooperative solutions, indicating its relevance in optimizing player cooperation.
This note considers two existing cooperative solutions that reflect the contributions of the players – the Shapley value and the fair gain-sharing value. Given the asymmetry of the players, a crucial requirement for an acceptable cooperation solution is that it has to reflect the contributions of the players. Five aspects of these two solutions are analyzed. They are: the overage of types of games, the computation time, the avoidance of arbitrary equal sharing, the contributions measured, and the underlying optimization process.
