The 2-Shapley value for bicooperative games

In this paper, we propose a new Shapley-type value (the 2-Shapley value) for bico- operative games. Unlike classical cooperative games, bicooperative games assign values to pairs of disjoint coalitions (bicoalitions) representing players who support change and those who defend the status quo, while...
