Abstract

In this paper, we consider a cooperative game in which two types of players co-exist: solidary and non solidary players. Solidary players are able to support by consent at least one of their weaker partners without disadvantaging non-solidary players. We present a value of the game which takes ito account the types of players and satisfies some appropriate axioms: Efficiency, Additivity, Symmetry among players who have the same type, Conditional null player, and a new axiom, the Unaffected Allocation of nonsolidary players - (UA) - which is defined as follows: when players have the possibility to decide freely to be solidary, this should affect neither the allocations of non-solidary players, nor the outcome of the game.
