A Talmudic Approach to Bankruptcy Problems

Juan Moreno-Ternero

No 17.01, Working Papers from Universidad Pablo de Olavide, Department of Economics

Abstract: Bankruptcy problems arise when agents hold claims against a certain (perfectly divisible) good, and the available amount is not enough to satisfy them all. A great source of inspiration to solve these problems emanates from the Talmud. We survey classical and recent contributions to the literature that constitute this Talmudic approach to bankruptcy problems.
