Strategies of Mixed Coalitions in Group Lending and Equitable Distribution of Joint Profit

Abstract

Adamou Ntieche

The objective of this paper is to highlight the usefulness of cooperative game theory as a conceptual framework for approaching problems related to the formation of mixed coalitions within group lending and the fair distribution of joint profit. The focus was on a particular technique, the Shapley value, originally proposed as an a priori solution to a cooperative game. Furthermore, the central idea of this approach is indifference to the desires of others: individualism. We succeed in establishing the threshold level for determining the value obtained for a fair distribution of joint resources. The only element that could limit the applica- bility of this value to any sharing problem comes from the assumption that coalitions are formed in a random way, which is not always respected in reality.
