This paper examines implications of different random recognition rules used to select proposal-makers on the payoffs of players participating in a weighted majority game. In particular, incentives to strategically alter the set of players by strategic splits or mergers are investigated.
We consider multistage bidding models where two types of risky assets (shares) are traded between two agents that have different information on the liquidation prices of traded assets. These prices are random integer variables that are determined by the initial chance move according to a probability distribution p over the two-dimensional integer lattice that is known to both players. Player 1 is informed on the prices of both types of shares, but Player 2 is not. The bids may take any integer values....
