Abstract

This paper studies egalitarian reallocation when preferences are single-peaked and each agent is endowed with a share of one unit of an infinitely divisible and non- disposable commodity. We focus on the distributional criteria Lorenz domination and variance domination. We show that a new rule, the egalitarian uniform rule, is the unique Pareto optimal and individually rational rule that Lorenz dominates and variance dominates all other rules satisfying these properties.
