چکیده
In the allocation of indivisible goods, maximum Nash welfare rule has recently been characterized as only within class additive welfarist rules that satisfies envy-freeness up to one good. We extend this characterization all rules.

A The Unreasonable Fairness of Maximum Nash Welfare
The maximum Nash welfare (MNW) solution — which selects an allocation that maximizes the product of utilities — is known to provide outstanding fairness guarantees when allocating divisible goods. And while it seems to lose its luster when applied to indivisible goods, we show that, in fact, the MNW solution is strikingly fair even in that setting. In particular, we prove that it selects alloca...

متن کاملNash Equilibrium and Welfare Optimality
If A is a set of social alternatives, a social choice rule (SCR) assigns a subset of A to each potential profile of individuals’ preferences over A, where the subset is interpreted as the set of ‘‘welfare optima’’. A game form (or ‘‘mechanism’’) implements the social choice rule if, for any potential profile of preferences, (i) any welfare optimum can arise as a Nash equilibrium of the game for...
متن کاملOrdinal Nash Social Welfare Function
A social welfare function entitled ‘ordinal Nash’ is proposed based on risk preferences and assuming a common, worst social state for all individuals. The crucial axiom in the characterisation of the solution is a weak version of IIA, in which only the relative risk position with respect to the worst state is considered. Thus the resulting social preference takes into account non (necessarily) ...
متن کاملThe ordinal Nash social welfare function
A social welfare function entitled ‘ordinal Nash’ is proposed. It is based on risk preferences and assumes a common, worst social tate (origin) for all individuals. The crucial axiom in the characterization of the function is a weak version of independence of rrelevant alternatives. This axiom considers relative risk positions with respect to the origin. Thus, the resulting social preference ak...
