(Soc Choice Welf 18:135–153, 2001) and Bogomolnaia and Jackson (Games Econ Behav 38: 204–230, 2002). We apply their results to study the original Gamson game and offer extensions both to a multi-dimensional characteristics space and to an infinite number of players.application/pdftext/plaineng© Springerresearch articleEconomía10.1007/s00355-007-0220-9open access57167Social Choice and Welfare30
