We consider allocation problemswith indivisible goods when preferences are single-peaked. In this paper we identify the family of efficient, non-manipulable, consistent, and balanced solutions. We refer those solutions as Temporary Satisfaction Methods, that can be viewed as extensions to the...

We study claims problems in which a certain amount of indivisible units (of an homogeneous good) has to be distributed among a group of agents, when this amount is not enough to fully satisfy agents' demands. We are interested in finding solutions satisfying robustness and fairness properties....

This book deals with the analysis of production economies in which firms may exhibit increasing returns to scale, or other forms of non-convexities. The study focuses on the existence and efficiency of equilibrium allocations, and the comparison with the standard competitive equilibrium model. A...
