| Abstract: | The paper discusses how recipients react to allocations that vary in procedural fairness. A measure that allows comparing procedural fairness across resource allocations is introduced. In three studies, the authors show that those dividing resources make proactive tradeoffs between distributive and procedural fairness. Participants increased the procedural fairness of their allocations when they knew recipients would observe their procedures. It can be suggested that the observability of procedures has important implications for the efficiency of resource allocation in groups. |
