This book provides a novel and unifying perspective on the structural properties of fair solutions in optimization formulations. The book also addresses a growing interest in incorporating fairness into the models that lie behind many business and public policy decisions. Since there are several ways to formulate fairness mathematically, the authors characterize optimal solutions that result from different formulations with the aim of informing the choice of an appropriate model for a given application. The focus is on fairness criteria that combine efficiency with fairness since typically bot...
This book provides a novel and unifying perspective on the structural properties of fair solutions in optimization formulations. The book also addresses a growing interest in incorporating fairness into the models that lie behind many business and public policy decisions. Since there are several ways to formulate fairness mathematically, the authors characterize optimal solutions that result from different formulations with the aim of informing the choice of an appropriate model for a given application. The focus is on fairness criteria that combine efficiency with fairness since typically both are important in practice. Most of these results are new and do not appear in the current literature. The book is directed towards a wide range of audiences including practitioners, researchers in mathematical optimization, and welfare economists.
In addition, this book:
Presents practical linear, nonlinear, or mixed integer programming formulations and a wide variety of fairness modelsIncludes detailed proofs that provide insight into the properties of each criterionProvides guidelines for selecting a fairness model and the tendency to incentivize cooperation or competition
