Abstract:
We introduce non-manipulability by clones for bankruptcy problems, which entitles claimants to merge or split only when they are or become identical agents. We show that this weaker non-manipulability requirement, together with either claim monotonicity or claims continuity, allows for new characterizations of the proportional rule on the general class of bankruptcy problems.
