Fairness under Uncertainty with Indivisibilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
I analyze an economy with uncertainty in which a set of indivisible objects and a certain amount of money is to be distributed among agents. The set of intertemporally fair social choice functions based on envy-freeness and Pareto efficiency is characterized. I give a necessary and sufficient condition for its non-emptiness and propose a mechanism that implements the set of intertemporally fair allocations in Bayes-Nash equilibrium. Implementation at the ex ante stage is considered, too. I also generalize the existence result obtained with envy-freeness using a broader fairness concept, introducing the aspiration function.

A Beyond Dominant Resource Fairness: Extensions, Limitations, and Indivisibilities
We study the problem of allocating multiple resources to agents with heterogeneous demands. Technological advances such as cloud computing and data centers provide a new impetus for investigating this problem under the assumption that agents demand the resources in fixed proportions, known in economics as Leontief preferences. In a recent paper, Ghodsi et al. [2011] introduced the dominant reso...
متن کاملPre-positioning and dynamic operations planning in pre- and post-disaster phases with lateral transhipment under uncertainty and disruption
Humanitarian organizations pre-position relief items in pre-disaster and distribute them to the affected areas in post-disaster. Improper planning of emergency operations causes more deaths in post-disaster. In this paper, the problem of relief item pre-positioning and multi-period distribution planning is addressed considering lateral transhipment among distribution centres to improve the effi...
متن کاملOn Fairness in Decision-Making under Uncertainty: Definitions, Computation, and Comparison
The utilitarian solution criterion, which has been extensively studied in multi-agent decision making under uncertainty, aims to maximize the sum of individual utilities. However, as the utilitarian solution often discriminates against some agents, it is not desirable for many practical applications where agents have their own interests and fairness is expected. To address this issue, this pape...
متن کاملRobust Control and Rate Coordination for Eeciency and Fairness in Abr Traac with Explicit Rate Marking 1
The problem of eeciency and fairness of ABR (Available Bit Rate) traac with explicit rate marking is investigated from a control point of view. It is revealed that due to signiicant uncertainty on time delays in ABR traac and strong interaction among switches, ABR traac imposes a great challenge to control strategy development. Focusing on robustness of traac control and asymptotic fairness, we...
متن کاملRunning Head: FORMS OF UNCERTAINTY AND PROCEDURAL FAIRNESS Being Uncertain about What? Procedural Fairness Effects as a Function of General Uncertainty and Belongingness Uncertainty
Do different forms of uncertainty account for different procedural fairness effects? We hypothesized that general uncertainty accounts for fairness judgments, whereas belongingness uncertainty accounts for group identification. Experiment 1 manipulated general versus belongingness uncertainty. Participants in the general uncertainty condition regarded the procedures as fairer when they were gra...
