Abstract:
|
In this note, we consider claims problems with indivisible goods. Specifically,
by applying recursively the P-rights lower bound (Jiménez-Gómez and
Marco-Gil (2008)), we ensure the fulfillment of Weak Order Preservation,
considered by many authors as a minimal requirement of fairness. Moreover,
we retrieve the Discrete Constrained Equal Losses and the Discrete Constrained
Equal Awards rules (Herrero and Martíınez (2008)). Finally, by the
recursive double imposition of a lower and an upper bound, we obtain the
average between them.
Keywords: Claims problems, Indivisibilities, Order Preservation,
Constrained Egalitarian rules, Midpoint.
