Abstract:

The compensation solution is one of the important component efficient allocation rules for cycle-free graph game. Béal et al.(2018) proposed and characterized its efficient extension. In this paper, we propose an alternative axiomatic characterization of the efficient compensation solution. We first show that the efficient compensation solution can be characterized by efficiency, relative fairness and fair distribution of surplus. Secondly, we compare this value with other allocation rules through an application example.

Key words: cooperative game, cycle-free graph, efficient compensation solution, fair distribution of surplus
