What Is a Fair Lottery

.
(2006)

Abstract

Intuition suggests that a fair lottery is the appropriate procedure for allocating goods when multiple individuals have equally good claims to those goods—when indeterminacy exists, in other words. This paper offers a rigorous definition of a fair lottery suitable for use in allocation procedures. In particular, it offers a conception of probability appropriate for such a definition, and defends that conception against other, more widely-accepted conceptions.
