The modeling of coalition for environmental protection within co-utility framework

The game theoretic modelling of coalition for environmental protection within the framework of a new concept of co-utility is discussed. The co-utility concept contains mainly two elements. Firstly, agents can increase their payoffs by collaborating with each-other. Secondly, the outcome of collaboration is robust towards internal and external disturbances. The advantages of using of co-utility are two-fold. Primarily, the co-utility concept is broad and can serve as an umbrella concept in all applications where agents have a space for simultaneous improvement of payoffs. Secondly the co-utility concept can be associated with different stability concept such as myopic or farsighted stability. The myopic and farsighted co-utile sets are defined and their element-co-utile outcomes are found.
