Abstract

In many models of resource allocation, agents are characterized by certain rights, needs, or demands. We impose the requirement that all agents who are not fully compensated are assigned the same amount, and explore it in the models of claims problems, division problems with single-peaked preferences, and division problems with single-dipped preferences. In combination with other well-known properties, we obtain respective axiomatizations of the well- known constrained equal awards rule, the uniform rule, and two families of rules for the single-dipped model.
