On the existence of the Dutta–Ray’s egalitarian solution

Francesc Llerena and Llúcia Mauri

Mathematical Social Sciences, 2017, vol. 89, issue C, 92-99

Abstract: A class of balanced games, called exact partition games, is introduced. Within this class, it is shown that the egalitarian solution of Dutta and Ray (1989) behaves as in the class of convex games. Moreover, we provide two axiomatic characterizations by means of suitable properties such as consistency, rationality and Lorenz-fairness. As a by-product, alternative characterizations of the egalitarian solution over the class of convex games are obtained.
