Comment on “Efficient Resource Allocation on the Basis of Priorities”

  • Yusuke Narita

Abstract

This note points out that the proof of Theorem 1, the main theorem, in Ergin (2002) needs two corrections. We provide two counterexamples to Ergin's (2002) proof and show that the theorem holds as it is by providing an alternative proof.
