Abstract
In this paper we define a solution for multichoice games which is a generalization of the Owen coalition value (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems: Essays in Honor of Oskar Morgenstern, Springer, New York, pp. 76–88, 1977) for transferable utility cooperative games and the Egalitarian solution (Peters and Zanks, Ann. Oper. Res. 137, 399–409, 2005) for multichoice games. We also prove that this solution can be seen as a generalization of the configuration value and the dual configuration value (Albizuri et al., Games Econ. Behav. 57, 1–17, 2006) for transferable utility cooperative games.
