Fair allocation of items and money

528:"we do not preclude the possibility that an individual may end up being paid by the others to take a bundle of goods. In the context of fair division, we do not find this problematic at all. Indeed, if a group does not wish to exclude any of its members, then there is no reason why the group should not subsidize a member for receiving an undesired bundle. Moreover, the qualification requirement guarantees that subsidization is never a consequence of a player's insufficient valuation of the complete set of objects to be distributed". 465:) allocation - an allocation with a highest sum-of-utilities that satisfies the constraints on bundles of items. If there are no constraints, then an allocation that gives each item to the partner with the highest valuation is maxsum. If there are constraints (such as "at least one item per partner"), then a maxsum allocation might be more difficult to find. 457:

There is a "qualification requirement" for a partner: the sum of his bids must be at least the total cost. The procedure works in the following steps.

generalizes the traditional binary criteria of envy-freeness, proportionality, and efficiency (welfare) to measures of degree that range between 0 and 1. In the canonical fair division settings, under any allocatively-efficient mechanism the worst-case welfare rate is 0 and disproportionality rate is

In experiments with human subjects, it was found that participants prefer the Raith's auction (Adjusted Knaster) to Divide-and-Choose and to Proportional Knaster (a variant in which each winner pays 1/n of the winning to each loser; in the above example, George pays 90 to Alice, and the net utilities

characterizes the minimum amount of subsidy required for envy-freeness. The allocation that attains this minimum subsidy is almost unique: there is only one way to combine objects with agents, and all agents are indifferent among all minimum-subsidy allocations. It coincides with the solution called

A special case of this setting is when dividing rooms in an apartment between tenants. It is characterized by three requirements: (a) the number of agents equals the number of items, (b) each agent must get exactly one item (room), (c) the total amount of money paid by the agents must equal a fixed

The sum of compensations made in all rounds is the smallest sum that is required to eliminate envy, and it never exceeds the surplus. If some surplus remains, it can be divided in any way that does not create envy, e.g., by giving an equal amount to each partner (the paper discusses other options

When there are many item and complex constraints, the initial step - finding a maxsum allocation - may be difficult to calculate without a computer. In this case, the Compensation Procedure may start with an arbitrary allocation. In this case, the procedure might conclude with an allocation that

Matthias G. Raith presented a variant on Knaster's auction, which he called "Adjusted Knaster". As in Knaster's auction, each item is given to the highest bidder. However, the payments are different. The payments are determined as follows:

Finding an allocation that is EFEQ-convertible with minimum subsidy is NP-hard, and cannot be approximated within any positive factor. This is simply because checking the existence of an EF allocation (which requires 0 subsidy) is

In general, in the economics literature, it is common to assume that each agent has a utility function on bundles (a bundle is a pair of an object and a certain amount of money). The utility function should be

In Raith's auction, George pays 180 and it is divided in ratio 20:180 = 1:9, that is, Alice gets 18 and George gets 162. Note that the payments are computed to all items at once - not for each item separately.
