New Characterizations of Old Bankruptcy Rules

Abstract: This paper presents axiomatic characterizations of two bankruptcy rules disscused in Jewish legal literature: the Constrained Equal Awards rule and the Contested Garment principle (the latter is defined only for two-creditor problems.) A major property in these characterizations is independence of irrelevant claims, which requires that if an individual claim exceeds the total to be allocated the excess claim should be considered irrelevant.
