Abstract

Subgroup additivity requires that a rule assigns the same expected “relative” utility to each agent whether an agent’s expected relative utility is calculated from the problem involving all agents or from its subproblems with a smaller number of agents. In this chapter, we investigate its implications for the queueing problem. As a result, we present characterizations of five important rules: the minimal transfer rule, the maximal transfer rule, the pivotal rule, the reward-based pivotal rule, and the symmetrically balanced VCG rule. In addition to some basic axioms and subgroup additivity, the characterization results can be obtained by additionally imposing either a strategic axiom or an equity axiom.
