Claims manipulations discriminate between egalitarian rules
摘要
We provide axiomatic characterizations of the constrained equal awards and constrained equal losses rules by imposing immunity principles such as non-manipulability via merging (splitting) and strong non-manipulability via merging (splitting). We show that the constrained equal awards rule is the unique rule satisfying strong non-manipulability via merging and contraction independence. Replacing contraction independence with the weaker condition of independence of redundant claims yields a new characterization. Moreover, strong non-manipulability via merging in the above two axiomatizations can be substituted by consistency and non-manipulability via merging. By duality, we achieve parallel characterizations of the constrained equal losses rule.
