Abstract:

We consider the relations between the competitive equilibria in economies with many agents and the value allocations of the resulting coalition games. In particular, we provide a (smooth and robust) example where the "value principle" does not hold for the Harsanyi NTU-value: there is a unique competitive equilibrium, which however does not belong to the (non-empty) set of Harsanyi value allocations.
