A characterization of the random arrival rule for bankruptcy problems

Abstract

It is known that no additive division rules exist for bankruptcy problems. In this paper, we study a restricted additivity property which we call “feasible set additivity” (FSA). This property requires division rules to be additive when the set of feasible allocation vectors for a sum of problems does not include allocations that were unfeasible when considering each problem separately.
