New research explores fair allocation of indivisible goods to strategic agents

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This paper explores mechanisms for fairly allocating indivisible goods to strategic agents with additive valuations. The research focuses on whether mechanisms can guarantee pure Nash equilibria while also ensuring fairness, specifically envy-freeness up to one good (EF1) and envy-freeness up to any good (EFX). The study finds that the Round-Robin algorithm's pure Nash equilibria result in EF1 allocations, and a cut-and-choose algorithm by Plaut and Roughgarden yields EFX allocations that also satisfy maximin share fairness for two agents.

    Allocating Indivisible Goods to Strategic Agents: Pure Nash Equilibria and Fairness

    arXiv:2109.08644v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We consider the problem of fairly allocating a set of indivisible goods to a set of strategic agents with additive valuation functions. We assume no monetary transfers and, therefore, a mechanism in our setting is an algor…
