In the second part, simple games are devised to ensure a fair allocation of contracts between the two managers under the conditions assumed in the first part. Furthermore, the game concept is extended in which three or more managers are involved.viii, 53 leaves : charts.Englishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRobust optimizationDecentralized investmentGame theoryThesisB154017
