Details

The random arrival rule (O'Neill, 1982) works in the following fashion: suppose that each claim is fully honored until the endowment runs out following the order of the claimants arrival. In order to remove the unfairness of the first-come first-serve scheme associated with any particular order of arrival, the rule proposes to take the average of the awards vectors calculated in this way when all orders are equally probable.
