We study fairness in the linear bandit setting. Starting from the notion of meritocratic fairness introduced in Joseph et al. [11], we introduce a sufficiently more general model in which meritocratic fairness can be imposed and satisfied. We then perform a more fine-grained analysis which achieves better performance guarantees in this more general model. Our work therefore studies fairness for...

Today, the concept of tax compliance has become a common phenomenon in the most countries and identifying the factors which affecting on it, specially internal and psychological factors instead of economic factors, attracted the attention of a large number of researchers in all over the world. So, the purpose of this study is to present a model of tax compliance with the realization approach of...

We construct several denotational semantics for communicating processes that incorporate assumptions of strong (process) fairness. Strong fairness is the guarantee that every process enabled infinitely often will make progress infinitely often. Modeling fairness compositionally requires care: generally speaking, the fair computations of a command cannot be defined only in terms of the fair comp...

Simulation is used to investigate the behavior of the \global fairness" algorithms proposed for CRMA-II, a MAC protocol for very-high-speed networks devised by IBM for the local and metropolitan environments. Results indicate that too strictly enforcing global fairness may result in undesirable short-term and long-term behaviors. However, when we consider that guaranteeing global fairness is im...

Perception of fairness can influence outcomes in human exchange. However, an inherent subjectivity in attribution renders it difficult to manipulate fairness experimentally. Here using a modified ultimatum game, within a varying social context, we induced a bias in human subjects' acceptance of objectively identical offers. To explain this fairness-related behavior, we use a computational model...

In the probabilistic non-repudiation protocol without a trusted third party as presented in [5], the recipient of a service can cheat the originator of the service with some probability. This probability indicates the degree of fairness of the protocol and is referred as 2-fairness. In this paper, we analyze the protocol quantitatively through probabilistic model checking. The 2-fairness is qua...

The purpose of this article is to test whether the use of public participation by a local government increases perceptions of procedural fairness among the public and to propose an explanation for why fairness is a strong predictor of satisfaction with governmental decisions. To do this, we draw on the uncertainty management model to hypothesize that indications of procedural fairness can incre...

Our study challenges the consensus that perceptions of overall fairness are driven solely by adherence to justice rules—that ‘‘what seems fair” depends solely on ‘‘what seems just.” Building on emerging theorizing on incidental affect and fairness appraisals, we argue that charismatic qualities of supervisors can predict employee perceptions of overall fairness, even when controlling for superv...

Fairness theory (R. Folger & R. Cropanzano, 1998, 2001) postulates that, particularly in the face of unfavorable outcomes, employees judge an organizational authority to be more responsible for their outcomes when the authority exhibits lower procedural fairness. Three studies lent empirical support to this notion. Furthermore, 2 of the studies showed that attributions of responsibility to the ...

Secret sharing plays an important role in protecting confidential information among all participants. A fairness secret sharing scheme assures that a dishonest participant cannot get any advantages over the honest ones in the process of secret reconstruction. Though there are many secret sharing schemes available in the literature, most of them do not satisfy the requirement of fairness. In thi...
