We consider the problem of fairly reallocating the individual endowments of a perfectly divisible good among agents with single-peaked preferences. We provide a new concept of fairness, called position-wise envy-freeness, that is compatible with individual rationality. This new concept requires...

We analyze bankruptcy problems with an indivisible object, where real owners and outside traders want to allocate an indivisible object among them with monetary compensation. The object might be a company that has gone bankrupt or a house left by a parent who has died, and so on. We show that...

Following Barbera, Sonnenschein, and Zhou (1991, Econometrica 59, 595-609), we study rules (or social choice functions) through which agents select a subset from a set of objects. We investigate domains on which there exist nontrivial strategy-proof rules. We establish that the set of separable...

Domains of individual preferences for which the well-known impossibility theorems of Gibbard-Satterthwaite and Muller-Satterthwaite do not hold are studied. To comprehend the limitations these results imply for social choice rules, we search for the largest domains that are possible. Here, we...

We consider the multi-object allocation problem with monetary transfers where each agent obtains at most one object … (unit-demand). We focus on allocation rules satisfying individual rationality, non-waste fulness, equal treatment of equals …

We establish that the fraction of preference profiles for which the random serial dictatorship allocation is ordinally … efficient vanishes for allocation problems with many object types. We consider also a probabilistic setting where in expectation … becomes large. We provide results with similarly negative content for allocation problems with many objects of each type. One …
