Priority domains
摘要
We consider the classical problem of allocating m objects to n agents where m \ge n. In the m=n case, we analyze preference domains (called UPN-priority domains) where every strategy-proof, non-bossy and unanimous profile neutral (UPN) allocation rule is a priority rule. We show that a simple condition called the closure property characterizes priority domains. The only domain satisfying the closure property and a mild richness condition is the universal domain. We extend this result to the m n case. We also consider the case where allocation rules satisfy a stronger neutrality property.
中文摘要
我们考虑将m个物品分配给n个代理人的经典问题，其中$m \geq n$。在$m = n$的情形下，我们分析偏好域（称为UPN优先域），其中每个满足策略证明性、非专断性和一致性的中立（UPN）分配规则均为优先规则。我们证明，一个称为封闭性的简单条件刻画了优先域。唯一同时满足封闭性和温和丰富性条件的域是全域。我们将这一结果推广至$m > n$的情形。此外，我们还考虑了分配规则满足更强中立性属性的情形。
