CEA: Constrained equal awards rule

In ClaimsProblems: Analysis of Conflicting Claims

Constrained equal awards rule

Description

This function returns the awards vector assigned by the constrained equal awards rule (CEA) to a claims problem.

Usage

CEA(E, d, name = FALSE)

Arguments

E	The endowment.
d	The vector of claims.
name	A logical value.

Details

Let E≥ 0 be the endowment to be divided and let d be the vector of claims with d≥ 0 and such that the sum of claims exceeds the endowment.

The constrained equal awards rule (CEA) equalizes awards under the constraint that no individual's award exceeds his/her claim. Then, claimant i receives the minimum of the claim and a value λ ≥ 0 chosen so as to achieve balance.

CEA(E,d)=(min{di,λ}).

The constrained equal awards rule corresponds to the Dutta-Ray solution to the associated (pessimistic) coalitional game. The CEA and CEL rules are dual.

Value

The awards vector selected by the CEA rule. If name = TRUE, the name of the function (CEA) as a character string.
