Studied here is the problem of evaluating the formation of coalitions in cooperative games by considering its internal and external effects. The present analysis is based upon a formal theory of the quotient game and the use of multilinear extensions to compute the Shapley value and the coalition value. When it applies to simple games, a series of interesting results is obtained.
