- Title
THE OBJECT DISTRIBUTION PROBLEM REVISITED.
- Authors
Samuelson, William
- Abstract
The object distribution problem calls for a number of indivisible objects to be assigned to a set of individuals (e.g., the division of estate properties among heirs). Some thirty years ago Knaster and Steinhaus presented a distribution scheme based upon object values reported by individuals. The properties of this scheme are examined, and it is shown that the K-S procedure is the only scheme that satisfies a number of plausible equity requirements.
