THE INNER-CORE OF AN N-PERSON GAME

Sufficient conditions for a general n-person game to have a nonempty i nner core are established. They relate to the balancedness condition a nd characterize a class of NTU games that is larger than the class of compactly generated and balanced with slack games. The inner core of a game coincides with the inner core of its cover. Moreover, it shrinks under convex utility transformations of the game. Journal of Economic Literature Classification Number: C71.
