Abstract:
A "symmetry" property, either in the version of "equal treatment" or in the version of "anonymity", is one of the standard intuitively acceptable properties satisfied by most well known solution concepts in game theory. However,there are many instances where symmetry is counterintuitive. This paper analyzes non-symmetric prekenels: solution concepts that satisfy Peleg's axioms for the prekernel [1986, 1987], with equal treatment replaced by the requirement that the solution of each 2-person game consists of a unique point. It is shown that non-symmetric prekernels do exits and then a full characterization is provided.
