Analysis of Cost Allocation for Airport Problems
Description
Airport problems, introduced by Littlechild and Owen (1973) <https://www.jstor.org/stable/2629727>, are cost allocation problems where agents share the cost of a facility (or service) based on their ordered needs. Valid allocations must satisfy no-subsidy constraints, meaning that no group of agents contributes more than the highest cost of its members (i.e., no agent is allowed to subsidize another). A rule is a mechanism that selects an allocation vector for a given problem. This package computes several rules proposed in the literature, including both standard rules and their variants, such as weighted versions, rules for clones, and rules based on the agents’ hierarchy order. These rules can be applied to various problems of interest, including the allocation of liabilities and the maintenance of irrigation systems, among others. Moreover, the package provides functions for graphical representation, enabling users to visually compare the outcomes produced by each rule, or to display the no-subsidy set. In addition, it includes four datasets illustrating different applications and examples of airport problems. For a more detailed explanation of all concepts, see Thomson (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.mathsocsci.2024.03.007>.
