We propose a simple model which embeds cost allocation games into a richer structure to take into account that information on costs can be itself costly. The model is an outgrowth of experience on cost allocation for consortia of municipalities dealing with garbage collection.

The aim of this paper is to introduce and axiomatically characterize the P-value as a rule to solve the cost sharing problem in minimum cost spanning tree (mcst) situations. The P-value is related to the Kruskal algorithm for finding an mcst. Moreover, the P-value leads to a core allocation of...
