Abstract
We consider the problem of fairly allocating an indivisible good to on e of several agents equally entitled to it when monetary compensations to the others are possible. Our primary normative concept is no-envy. First, we show that there is no non-manipulable selection from the no -envy solution. Then we study the direct revelation games associated w ith subsolutions of the no-envy solution. The set of equilibrium alloc ations of any one of them coincides with the set of envy-free allocati ons for the true preferences.
