Abstract

Owen value is an extension of Shapley value for cooperative games when a particular coalition structure or partition of the set of players is considered in addition. In this paper, we will obtain the Shapley value as an average of Owen values over each set of the same kind of coalition structures, i.e., coalition structures with equal number of sets sharing the same size.
