Cooperative Games

Note: These are not designed to be student facing.

I make these notes available with the intent of making it easier to plan and/or take notes from class.

Student facing resources for each topic are all available at vknight.org/gt/.

Activity (20 Minutes)

Ask for 3 volunteers to work together.

Bring in scrap paper and ask students to practice paper airplane contest: as a team they have to work together to create planes and throw them in to a landing zone. The number of planes they get in the zone will be equivalent to a bribentive.

After this, ask everyone to approximate how many planes would have been obtained by each member of the coalition.

Before giving bribentives: ask how I can fairly give them out?

Discussion (20 Minutes)

Work through the Cooperative Games chapter.

Discussion Point: After definition of characteristic function game point out that this is what we have for the paper plane game.

Discussion Point: After definition of marginal contribution: ask for a given marginal contribution

Discussion Point: After definition of Shapley Value: ask for steps to calculate the shapley value for the game
