RT Generic T1 The Shapley group value A1 Flores Díaz, Ramón Jesús A1 Molina, Elisenda A1 Tejada, Juan A2 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Departamento de Estadística, AB Following the original interpretation of the Shapley value (Shapley, 1953a)as a priori evaluation of the prospects of a player in a multi-person iteraction situation,we propose a group value, which we call the Shapley group value, as a priori evaluationof the prospects of a group of players in a coalitional game when acting as a unit. Westudy its properties and we give an axiomatic characterization. We motivate ourproposal by means of some relevant applications of the Shapley group value, when it isused as an objective function by a decision maker who is trying to identify an optimalgroup of agents in a framework in which agents interact and the attained benefit can bemodeled by means of a transferable utility game. As an illustrative example we analyzethe problem of identifying the set of key agents in a terrorist network.
