Abstract.
We provide some formulae for the τ-value in the case of the assignment game and prove that it coincides with the midpoint between the buyers-optimal and the sellers-optimal core allocations. As a consequence, the τ-value of an assignment game always lies in the core. Some comparative statics of this solution is analyzed: the pairwise monotonicity and the effect of new entrants.
