Abstract

In this paper, we propose a cooperative game model to study the effects of envy to the coalition formation and payoff allocation. In general, player's envy is concerned with his/her identity to the union. Player gains the utility from profit and meanwhile suffers the disutility from envy. We define the envy core in a game the set of all stable solutions which means that no one can obtain more utility through being out of the set. We discover that the nonempty of envy core is equivalent to the stability of the maximum union when the in-coalition envy is weaker than or equal to that in out-coalition. Conversely, players prefer to form various sub-unions which brings the lower efficiency in the society when the in-coalition envy is stronger than that in out-coalition. In the paper, we present some sufficient and necessary conditions of non-empty of envy core. Moreover, we find some interesting behavior features such as the strong in-coalition envy will derive players to distribute their payoff more fairly and the strong out-coalition envy will enlarge the variation of the payoff allocation. At last, we develop a mixed integer programming to solve the envy core.
