RT Generic T1 A unifying framework for the problem of adjudicating conflicting claims A1 Hougaard, Jens L. A1 Moreno-Ternero, Juan D. A1 Osterdal, Lars P. K1 Rationing K1 Operators K1 Baselines K1 Composition K1 Claims AB In a recent paper, Thomson and Yeh [Operators for the adjudication of conflicting claims, Journal of Economic Theory 143 (2008) 177-198] introduced the concept of operators on the space of rules for the problem of adjudicating conflicting claims. They focussed on three operators in order to uncover the structure of such a space. In this paper, we generalize their analysis upon presenting and studying a general family of operators inspired by three apparently unrelated approaches to the problem of adjudicating conflicting claims. We study the structural properties of this family and show, in particular, that most of Thomson and Yeh¿s results are specific cases of our study. PB Universidad Pablo de Olavide.
