In a series of 4 experiments, we provide evidence that--in addition to having an affective component--envy may also have important consequences for cognitive processing. Our first experiment (N = 69) demonstrated that individuals primed with envy better attended to and more accurately recalled information about fictitious peers than did a control group. Studies 2 (N = 187) and 3 (N = 65) concep...

Envy-freeness up to one good (EF1) and envy-freeness any (EFX) are two well-known extensions of for the case indivisible items. It is shown that EF1 can always be guaranteed agents with subadditive valuations. In sharp contrast, it unknown whether or not an EFX allocation exists, even four additive addition, best approximation guarantee (φ − 1) ≃ 0.61 by Amanitidis et al.. order find a middle g...

In this paper we study the strategic aspects of the No-Envy solution for the problem of allocating a …nite set of indivisible goods among a group of agents when monetary compensations are possible. In the …rst part of the paper we consider the case where each agent receives, at most, one indivisible good. We prove that the set of equilibrium allocations of any direct revelation game associated ...

We study a generalization of the well known house allocation problem in which agents may own fractions of different houses summing to an arbitrary quantity, but have use for only the equivalent of one unit of a house. We also depart from the classical model by assuming that arbitrary quantities of each house may be available to the market. Justified envy considerations arise when two agents hav...
