Abstract
We study a cost allocation problem under asymmetric information, and show that the ex ante incentive compatible core is non-empty. We also obtain a non-emptiness result for the incentive compatible coarse core, which is one concept of an interim core.
Keywords: cost allocation, asymmetric information, core, incentive compatibility
