Volume II contains: Lloyd Shapleyâs âA Value for n-Person Gamesâ (pp. 307-17): A âremarkable 1953 paper⦠There he proposed that it might be possible to evaluate, in a numerical way, the âvalueâ of playing a game. The particular function he derived for this purpose, which has come to be called the Shapley value, has been the focus of sustained interest among students of cooperative game theory ever sinceâ (Alvin Roth, who shared the 2012 Nobel Prize with Shapley, Chapter 1: âIntroduction to the Shapley Value,â in Roth, The Shapley Value: Essays in Honor of Lloyd S. Shapley, Cambridge University Press, 1988). Also contains Von Neumannâs âA Certain Zero-Sum Two-Person Game Equivalent to the Optimal Assignment Problemâ (pp. 5-12) and D.B. Gillies, J.P.
