RT Journal Article T1 Evaluating groups with the generalized Shapley value A1 Flores, Ramón A1 Molina Ferragut, Elisenda A1 Tejada Cazorla, Juan Antonio AB Following the original interpretation of the Shapley value as a priori evaluation of the prospects of a player in a multiperson interaction situation, we intend to apply the Shapley generalized value (introduced formally in Marichal et al. in 2007) as a tool for the assessment of a group of players that act as a unit in a coalitional game. We propose an alternative axiomatic characterization which does not use a direct formulation of the classical efficiency property. Relying on this valuation, we also analyze the profitability of a group. We motivate this use of the Shapley generalized value by means of two relevant applications in which it is used as anobjective function by a decision maker who is trying to identify an optimal group of agents in a framework in which agents interact and the attained benefit can be modeled by means of a transferable utility game.
