Two well-known single valued solutions for TU-games are the Shapley value and Solidarity value, which verify three properties: Linearity, Symmetry and Efficiency, and the null player axiom. On the other hand, the interpretation of the two values is usually related on the marginal contribution of...

This paper proposes new factors decomposition methods for classical inequality indices such as Gini index, variance and squared coefficient of variations index. The approach consists in relaxing the normalization property in order to extend the natural decomposition to a decomposition rule which...

The paper studies the ordinal equivalence of Linear, Efficient and Symmetry (LES) values in TU-games. It demonstrates that most of the results obtained by Carreras F, Freixas J (2008) in the case of semivalues and simple games are transposable on LES values and the whole TU-games set. In...

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the mechanisms of stabilization of shocks in heterogeneous monetary zone, with an application on the Franc Franc zone. The study assesses the advantages and disadvantages of budget cooperation strategies against non-cooperation. It shows that fiscal...

This paper uses the fuzzy set theory recently suggested by Cerioli and Zani (1990) and Dagum and Costa (2004) to derive a methodology to construct a Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) measurement index. Using the formulation of the index, it also derives the contribution of different attributes...
