Abstract
•Paper surveys work on the adjudication of conflicting claims since Thomson (2003).•The bulk of the survey is on the axiomatic approach, as most of the recent work has been along axiomatic lines.•It discusses extensions of the base model and applications.•It outlines directions for further research.
A group of agents have claims on a resource but there is not enough of it to honor all of the claims. How should it be divided? A group of agents decide to undertake a public project that they can jointly afford. How much should each of them contribute? This essay is an update of Thomson (2003), a survey of the literature devoted to the study of such problems.
