Egalitarianism under earmark constraints

Egalitarianism under earmark constraints

A homogeneous resource coming from several suppliers is divided among agents with singlepeaked preferences. Each agent has access to an arbitrary fixed subset of supliers. Examples include balancing the workload of machines, sharing earmarked funds between different projects, and distributing utilities under geographic constraints. Unlike in the one supplier model (Sprumont [25]), in a Pareto o...

Egalitarianism under Incomplete

The paper aims at extending the egalitarian principle to environments with asymmetric information. It starts by emphasizing the accrued difficulty of deriving axiomatic results under incomplete information, given that incentive constraints and asymmetric beliefs restrict the shape of the feasible sets of interim utilities. Particularly, natural axioms of anonymity, efficiency and monotonicity a...

Flexible job shop scheduling under availability constraints

In this paper, an exact geometric algorithm is presented for solving two-job sequencing and scheduling problems in flexible flow shop and job shop environments while the resources are (un)available in some time periods and processors (un)availability is the same in all work centers. This study seems utterly new and it is applicable to any performance measure based on the completion time. The in...

Intergenerational egalitarianism

I study the egalitarian way of distributing resources across generations. Distributional equity deeply conflicts with the Pareto principle: efficient allocations cannot guarantee that i) each generation be assigned a consumption bundle that is at least as large as an arbitrarily small fraction of the bundle assigned to any other generation and that ii) each generation finds its assigned bundle ...
