Policy and Decision Models: 12. Nucleolus and gately point

EPA2142. Master Engineering and Policy Analysis. The lecture is about analyzing and supporting design and decision-making in multi-actor settings. Even more solution concepts (for n-person cooperative games) are introduced here: Bargaining Sets, the Nucleolus and the Gately Point. These solution concepts are based on a view of the game as a process of bargaining about what coalitions to form. These theories are applied to parliamentary coalition formation, which includes a discussion of theories about (ideological) policy spaces.
