''The proportional rule for multi-issue bankruptcy problems'' |
( 2009, Vol. 29 No.1 ) |
|
|
We investigate how to extend bankruptcy rules to the more general setting in which claims may refer to
different issues. We consider two natural procedures and show that, among all bankruptcy rules, the
proportional rule is the only one whose extensions according to the two procedures yield the same
outcomes. |
