Remarks on Unrounded Degressively Proportional Allocation

摘要

The Lisbon Treaty has legally endorsed degressiveness as a principle of distributing indivisible goods. Yet the principle has been implemented in executive acts with insufficient precision. As a result, it cannot be unambiguously applied in practice. Therefore many theoretical studies have been conducted aiming at a more precisely defined formulation of the principle so that resulting allocations could be explicitly derived from primary rules. This paper belongs to such research stream. It aims at submitting a formal definition of unrounded degressively proportional distribution.
