Abstract
This paper investigates a game model known as the dual-star system, a type of multi-agent system. The study examines two-level games within such systems, where the first level represents external interactions and the second level involves internal strategic decisions. We propose a method for distributing benefits to agents in both levels. By constructing characteristic functions for the dual-star model, we establish Shapley values as the natural optimal principle for benefit allocation in both tiers of the game.
