Abstract
We present a way of computing Kronecker coefficients that uses a new family of rational convex polytopes, called column-row polytopes. We give several different formulas for the computation. They are alternating sums of numbers of integer points of either column-row polytopes or faces of column-row polytopes. We also compute the maximal dimension of these polytopes and give new proofs of some known results of more theoretical nature.

Most of the results of the paper have been presented before in the Pacific Rim Mathematical Association Congress 2022 in Vancouver and in the VI Congreso Latinoamericano de Matem\'aticos 2021 in Uruguay. In the second version a few typos were corrected and Theorem 6.5 was added
