Values of Non-Atomic Games.

‘A most prolific collaboration between Aumann and Shapley, starting in the late 1960s and culminating in 1974 with the publication of their book Values of Non-Atomic Games’, in which they ‘engaged in the challenging problem of extending value theory to the case of a continuum of players’. One of the ‘remarkable’ discoveries of their research is the diagonal principle, ‘stating that in games with many players one need consider only coalitions whose composition constitutes a good sample of the grand coalition of all participants’ (New Palgrave).
