Budget-Balance, Fairness and Minimal Manipulability

group of agents. Fairness requires that each agent weakly prefers his consumption bundle to any other agent’s bundle. Under … fairness, efficiency is equivalent to budget-balance (all the available money is allocated among the agents). Budget …-balance and fairness in general are incompatible with non-manipulability (Green and Laffont, 1979). We propose a new notion of the …

We study the simple model of assigning indivisible and heterogenous objects (e.g., houses, jobs, offices, etc.) to agents. Each agent receives at most one object and monetary compensations are not possible. For this model, known as the house allocation model, we characterize the class of rules...

An Algorithm for Identifying Agent-k-Linked Allocations in Economies with Indivisibilities

ANDERSSON, Tommy; EHLERS, Lars - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Économie … - 2013

We consider envy-free (and budget-balanced) rules that are least manipulable with respect to agents counting or with respect to utility gains. Recently it has been shown that for any profile of quasi-linear preferences, the outcome of any such least manipulable envy-free rule can be obtained via...

Combining Rights and Welfarism: A New Approach to Intertemporal Evaluation of Social Alternatives

Long, Ngo Van; Martinet, Vincent - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Économie … - 2012

We propose a new criterion which reflects both the concern for welfare (utility) and the concern for rights in the evaluation of economic development paths. The concern for rights is captured by a pre-ordering over combinations of thresholds (floors or ceilings on various quantitative...
