Finding fair and efficient allocations

S Barman, SK Krishnamurthy, R Vaish - … of the 2018 ACM Conference on …, 2018‏ - dl.acm.org
We study the problem of allocating a set of indivisible goods among a set of agents in a fair
and efficient manner. An allocation is said to be fair if it is envy-free up to one good (EF1) …

The combinatorial assignment problem: Approximate competitive equilibrium from equal incomes

E Budish - Journal of Political Economy, 2011‏ - journals.uchicago.edu
This paper proposes a new mechanism for combinatorial assignment—for example,
assigning schedules of courses to students—based on an approximation to competitive …

[PDF][PDF] Fair Allocation of Indivisible Goods.

S Bouveret, Y Chevaleyre, N Maudet, H Moulin - 2016‏ - Citeseer
As introduced in Chapter 11 (Thomson, 2015), Fair Division refers to the general problem of
fairly dividing a common resource among agents having different—and sometimes …

Characterizing conflicts in fair division of indivisible goods using a scale of criteria

S Bouveret, M Lemaître - Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, 2016‏ - Springer
We investigate five different fairness criteria in a simple model of fair resource allocation of
indivisible goods based on additive preferences. We show how these criteria are connected …

Course match: A large-scale implementation of approximate competitive equilibrium from equal incomes for combinatorial allocation

E Budish, GP Cachon, JB Kessler… - Operations …, 2017‏ - pubsonline.informs.org
Combinatorial allocation involves assigning bundles of items to agents when the use of
money is not allowed. Course allocation is one common application of combinatorial …

Beyond dominant resource fairness: Extensions, limitations, and indivisibilities

DC Parkes, AD Procaccia, N Shah - ACM Transactions on Economics …, 2015‏ - dl.acm.org
We study the problem of allocating multiple resources to agents with heterogeneous
demands. Technological advances such as cloud computing and data centers provide a …

On approximate envy-freeness for indivisible chores and mixed resources

U Bhaskar, AR Sricharan, R Vaish - arxiv preprint arxiv:2012.06788, 2020‏ - arxiv.org
We study the fair allocation of undesirable indivisible items, or chores. While the case of
desirable indivisible items (or goods) is extensively studied, with many results known for …

Fairness and decision-making in collaborative shift scheduling systems

A Uhde, N Schlicker, DP Wallach… - Proceedings of the 2020 …, 2020‏ - dl.acm.org
The strains associated with shift work decrease healthcare workers' well-being. However,
shift schedules adapted to their individual needs can partially mitigate these problems. From …

Weighted fairness notions for indivisible items revisited

M Chakraborty, E Segal-Halevi… - ACM Transactions on …, 2024‏ - dl.acm.org
We revisit the setting of fairly allocating indivisible items when agents have different weights
representing their entitlements. First, we propose a parameterized family of relaxations for …

Mechanism design for fair division: allocating divisible items without payments

R Cole, V Gkatzelis, G Goel - … of the fourteenth ACM conference on …, 2013‏ - dl.acm.org
We revisit the classic problem of fair division from a mechanism design perspective and
provide an elegant truthful mechanism that yields surprisingly good approximation …
