Abstract

En 中文
We consider the classical problem of allocating m objects to n agents where m >= n. In the m = n case, we analyze preference domains (called UPN-priority domains) whereeverystrategy-proof,non-bossyandunanimousprofileneutral(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.
