Finding fair and efficient allocations
2021We study the problem of fair division, where the goal is to allocate a set of items among a set of agents in a ``fair" manner. In particular, we focus on settings in which the items to be divided are either indivisible goods or divisible bads. Despite their practical significance, both these settings have been much less investigated than the divisible ...

Technology efficiency or allocation efficiency
China Agricultural Economic Review, 2018Purpose The emergence of mega-farms in middle-income countries like Brazil and Ukraine and the efforts to consolidate small farms into larger ones in China and elsewhere have suggested that new institutional arrangements and technology progress may increase the significant farm economies of size, and therefore challenging the classical inverse ...

Now, is the competitive market (if it really exists) a “good” way of resource allocation? Of course it depends on what we mean by “good.”

Voluntary and Efficient Allocations are Walrasian
Econometrica, 1985Let \({\mathcal E}:=(\{X^ i,u^ i,\omega^ i\}_ i\), \(\{Y^ j\}_ j\), \(\{\theta_{ij}\}_{i,j})\) be a private ownership economy with \(\ell\) commodities, m consumers and n producers, where \(X^ i={\mathbb{R}}_+^{\ell}\) is the consumption set, \(u^ i\) is the utility function and \(\omega^ i\in {\mathbb{R}}^{\ell}\) is the initial endowment of consumer ...

Efficient Allocation of Free Stuff
International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2019We study online matching settings with selfish agents when everything is free. Inconsiderate agents break ties arbitrarily amongst equal maximal value available choices, even if the maximal value is equal to zero. \par Even for the simplest case of zero/one valuations, where agents arrive online in an arbitrary order, and agents are restricted to ...

Fair and Efficient Online Allocations
Operations ResearchTrade-Offs in Dynamic Allocation Problems Food rescue organizations often receive donations to allocate to food pantries or families. Donations are unpredictable, and goods are often perishable; as a result, allocations have to be made within a short time frame after arrival without knowledge of future arrivals.

Efficient Parking Allocation for SmartCities
Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments, 2017The lack of parking spaces in large urban cities is responsible for a series of problems such as traffic congestion, air pollution and social anxiety. A promising approach to alleviate those effects is harnessing contributions from the human crowd equipped with mobile phones to find available and affordable parking spaces.

The Efficient Allocation of Individuals to Positions
Journal of Political Economy, 1979In a variety of contexts, individuals must be allocated to positions with limited capacities. Legislators must be assigned to committees, college students to dormitories, and urban homesteaders to dwellings. (A general class of fair division problems would have the positions represent goods.) This paper examines the general problem of achieving ...

On the Efficiency and Optimality of Allocations. II
SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 1986Summary: [For part I see J. Math. Anal. Appl. 105, 113-135 (1985; Zbl 0555.90018).] We study the problem of characterizing efficient, price efficient and optimal allocations in a very general economic model with a continuum of agents and an infinite-dimensional commodity space.
