Recensione

'In this remarkable book, Brams and Taylor bring to the attention of social scientists a literature thus far confined to puzzle-solving and other mathematical magazines. The book's emphasis on Envy-Freeness will please economists; numerous practical mechanisms for negotiation will appeal to the political scientist and the lawyer; finally, Brams and Taylor's original fair division procedures are of interest to all researchers.' Herve Moulin, Duke University

'... explains everything a layperson might need to know about fair division ... lawyers should love the book'. Discover

Descrizione del libro

Cutting a cake, dividing up the property in an estate, determining the borders in an international dispute - such problems of fair division are ubiquitous. Fair Division treats all these problems and many more through a rigorous analysis of a variety of procedures for allocating goods (or 'bads' like chores), or deciding who wins on what issues, when there are disputes.
