An Introduction to Allocation Rules by Jens Leth Hougaard (English) Paperback Bo

Description: An Introduction to Allocation Rules by Jens Leth Hougaard This book provides an overview of existing methods for allocating costs and benefits. It will help readers evaluate the pros and cons of various methods involved in terms of factors such as fairness, consistency, stability, monotonicity and manipulability. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book contains a systematic analysis of allocation rules related to cost and surplus sharing problems. Broadly speaking, it examines various types of rules for allocating a common monetary value (cost) between individual members of a group (or network) when the characteristics of the problem are somehow objectively given. Without being an advanced text it o?ers a comprehensive mathematical analysis of a series of well-known allocation rules. The aim is to provide an overview and synthesis of current kno- edge concerning cost and surplus sharing methods. The text is accompanied by a description of several practical cases and numerous examples designed to make the theoretical results easily comprehensible for both students and practitioners alike. The book is based on a series of lectures given at the University of Copenhagen and Copenhagen Business School for graduate students joining the math/econ program.

Back Cover This book focuses on analyzing cost and surplus sharing problems in a systematic fashion. It offers an in-depth analysis of various types of rules for allocating a common monetary value (cost) between members of a group or network - e.g. individuals, firms or products. The results can help readers evaluate the pros and cons of the various methods involved in terms of various factors such as fairness, consistency, stability, monotonicity and manipulability. As such, the book represents an up-to-date survey of cost and surplus sharing methods for researchers, students and practitioners alike. The text is accompanied by practical cases and numerous examples to make the theoretical results easily accessible. Table of Contents Motivation and a Few Cases.- Simple Sharing Problems.- Cost Allocation as Cooperative Games.- General Sharing Problems.- Sharing in Networks. Review Reviews H. Moulin, M. KosterFrom the reviews:"The referred volume is organized as a summary textbook offering mathematical analysis of a series of typical allocation rules. It offers an overview and mathematical formalism of current knowledge of its field of interest, focused on allocating monetary costs among members of a group or network of agents. … The theoretical models are completed by numerous illustrative examples, and all particular chapters are closed by methodological comments, a heuristic summary and a sufficient list of references."
