An Axiomatization of the Serial Cost-Sharing Method
نویسنده
چکیده
We o¤er an axiomatization of the serial cost-sharing method of Friedman and Moulin (1999). The key property in our axiom system is Group Demand Monotonicity, asking that when a group of agents raise their demands, not all of them should pay less. JEL classi cation: C 71, D 63

Monotonicity and the Aumann-Shapley cost-sharing method in the discrete case
We give an axiomatization of the Aumann-Shapley cost-sharing method in the discrete case by means of monotonicity and no merging or splitting (Sprumont, 2005 [16]). Monotonicity has not yet been employed to characterize this method in such a case, unlike the case in which goods are perfectly divisible, for which Monderer and Neyman (1988) [10] and Young (1985) [19] characterize the Aumann-Shapl...
متن کاملThe price of anarchy of serial cost sharing and other methods
Users share an increasing marginal cost technology. A method charges non negative cost shares covering costs. We look at the worst surplus (relative to the efficient surplus) in a Nash equilibrium of the demand game, where the minimum is taken over all convex preferences quasilinear in cost shares. We compare two budget-balanced methods, average cost pricing and serial cost sharing, and two met...
متن کاملElectric-vehicle car-sharing in one-way car-sharing systems considering depreciation costs of vehicles and chargers
In recent years, car-sharing systems have been announced as a way to increase mobility and to decrease the number of single-occupant vehicles, congestion, and air pollution in many parts of the world. This study presents a linear programming model to optimize one-way car-sharing systems for electric cars considering the depreciation costs of chargers and vehicles as well as relocation cost of v...
متن کاملA Model for Sharing the Costs of Uncontrollable Risks among Contracting Parties
The allocation of risks among the contracting parties in a contract is an important decision affecting the project success. Some risks in a project are uncontrollable; these are imposed to a project by external factors. Since contracting parties can neither control nor affect the occurrence of such risks, their allocation to a party would be inequitable. Therefore the cost overrun related to un...
متن کاملIntermediate serial cost-sharing rules
In this paper we give a generalization of the serial costsharing rule de ned by Moulin and Shenker (1992) for cost sharing problems. According to the serial cost sharing rule, agents with low demands of a good pay cost increments associated with low quantities in the production process of that good. This fact might not always be desirable for those agents, since those cost increments might be h...
