of their different allocations of commodities and different preferences. In this paper, we show that an equitable distribution of goods does not guarantee a state of fairness between agents and in general that envy cannot be controlled by tuning the distribution of goods.

Nijkamp for helpful comments. In this paper we study the relation between the distribution of income and the distribution of a given housing stock over under various allocation mechanisms. In order to study a pure situation the population consists of households which differ only in income. We

Many authors have documented the inequitable distribution of water resources in Israel and Palestine, and this issue is included as an element of the Permanent Status negotiations between the two Parties. Surprisingly, the Road Map produced by the Quartet does not specifically

student engagement can compel more racial minority students to reflect on powerful learning opportunities, institutional enablers of achievement, and outcomes-productive experiences TO REFLECT ON THEIR EXPERIENCES at a private liberal arts college, ten students of color met with the president, key administrators, and several white faculty members a few weeks before graduation. All from low-income families and urban environments, these undergraduates had entered the institution through a program designed to protect them from the alienation and disengagement often experienced by underrepresented students. Before the start of their freshman year, this cohort was equipped with resistant responses to the racist stereotypes and differential treatment they would likely encounter, they were socialized to rely on each other for friendship and support, and they were exposed to recent liberal arts college alumni who shared with them useful navigational insights.

Most notably, they felt institutional agents had done a commendable job of engaging them, both inside and outside the classroom. Each student described meaningful collaborative experiences with professors on campus. Given the racial homogeneity of the faculty SHAUN R.

This research examines the influence of reward scarcity on individual allocation preferences in performance-differentiated three-person groups. We argue that the nondyadic context alters the zero-sum nature of the distribution, enhancing con-ce1n for the group especially when rewards

The aggregate flow model is used to determine how to distribute predeparture delays among air traffic control Centers and across time to optimally satisfy constraints on airspace capacity and departure rates. To do so, a quadratic cost on cumulative departure delays is introduced, resulting

This paper outlines one approach to an equitable distribution of an award to the survivors (including parents, husband, and children) of a woman killed in a vehicular accident. The notion of equity almost implies one or more arbitrary elements, but the model has the advantage of making those

In this treatise, some aspects of the relationship of religion to economic questions are examined, particularly those associated with wealth distribution, because of their inevitably close association with societal common good. Utilitarian philosophers argued that all decisions could be made
