Abstract

We axiomatize Hart and Kurz's (1983) two coalition aggregation functions known as the γfunction and the δ-function. A coalition aggregation function is a mapping that assigns a partition to each coalition profile, where a coalition profile is a vector of coalitions selected by all players. Through our axiomatization results, we observe that neither the γ-function nor the δ-function satisfies monotonicity. We propose a monotonic function and axiomatically characterize it. An impossibility result on monotonicity is also provided.
