We study envy-free and truthful mechanisms for domains with additive valuations, like the ones that arise in scheduling on unrelated machines. We investigate the allocation functions that are both weakly monotone (truthful) and locally efficient (envy-free), in the case of only two tasks, but many players. We show that the only allocation functions that satisfy both conditions are affine minimi...

This paper analyzes the manipulability of the Generalized Money Rawlsian Fair (GMRF) solutions in the problem of fairly allocating objects when monetary compensations are possible [Alkan A., Demange G., Gale D., Fair allocation of indivisible goods and criteria of justice. Econometrica 59, 1023-1039]. These solutions are envy-free, efficient, and satisfy a strong form of solidarity under budget...

Materialistic youth seem to be languishing while grateful youth seem to be flourishing. High school students (N = 1,035) completed measures of materialism, gratitude, academic functioning, envy, depression, life satisfaction, social integration, and absorption. Using structural equation modeling, we found that gratitude, controlling for materialism, uniquely predicts all outcomes considered: hi...

The study was an empirical examination of the relation of personality proneness to "problematic social emotions"--envy (Dispositional Envy Scale), jealousy (Interpersonal Jealousy Scale), and shame and guilt (Personal Feelings Questionnaire-2)--to maternal grief (Perinatal Grief Scale-33) following miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, or infant/child death. The 441 women who participated in...

While most market transactions are subject to strong incentives, transactions within firms are often not incentivized. We offer an explanation for this observation based on envy among agents in an otherwise standard moral hazard model with multiple agents. Envious agents suffer if other agents receive a higher wage due to random shocks to their performance measures. The necessary compensation f...

We consider fair allocation of indivisible items in a model with goods, chores, and copies, as unified framework for studying: (1) the existence EFX other solution concepts goods copies; (2) chores. establish tight relation between these issues via two conceptual contributions: First, refinement envy-based fairness notions that we term envy without commons (denoted WC when applied to EFX). Seco...

Greed is an important precursor to envy. It unclear, however, whether this link reflects only malicious envy, which involves hostile motivation toward superior others, or greed also predicts benign improvement motivation. If the case, two forms of envy might connect diverging psychological outcomes, such as differences in life satisfaction. The current research provides initial support for poss...

Human emotions are socially constructed (Berger and Luckmann 1966). Emotions are shaped by social processes and social forces. Emotions are social as well as psychological phenomena, responses to social situations that are shaped by social learning. However useful it may be to consider emotions as physiological or as psychological events, the sociological study of emotions draws attention to of...

Dispositional envy has been conceptualized as an emotional trait that varies across comparison domains (e.g., attraction, competence, wealth). Despite its prevalence and potentially detrimental effects, little is known about stability change in dispositional time due to a lack of longitudinal data. The goal the present research was close this gap by investigating developmental over time. In pre...

Pricing under a consumer choice model has been extensively studied in economics and revenue management. In this paper, we tackle generalization of the Rank Problem (RPP), multi-product pricing problem with unit-demand customers ranking-based model. We generalize RPP assuming that each product limited amount copies for sale, call extension Capacitated (CRPP). compare envy-free allocation product...
