چکیده
Walking into a McDonald’s restaurant and ordering a Big Mac meal, one used inevitably to be asked whether to ‘supersize’ the meal, resulting in a larger portion of fries and a larger soda to accompany a Big Mac burger. The burger itself would be left unchanged. The key feature of supersizing according to McDonalds is to provide a supersized periphery to an unaltered core. Supersizing according to Vermeulen displays strikingly different features from the version made famous by McDonalds and its competitors.

We show that every continuous core concept that satisfies both the equal treatment property and a new property called independence of irrelevant core allocations (IIC) necessarily selects egalitarian allocations. IIC requires that, if the core concept selects a certain core allocation ...
