Abstract

This paper is concerned with a problem of an equitable allocation. We consider the concept of ψ‐equity, which is a general concept of equity. We provide a series of examples of equity concepts that are captured by ψ‐equity. We show the existence of an efficient and ψ‐equitable allocation by employing Kakutani's fixed‐point theorem.
