Résumé

Cet article est une introduction élémentaire à la littérature concernant l'analyse du concept d'une allocation «sans envie», c'est à dire une allocation telle que chaque personne préfère son panier de consommation au panier de toute autre personne. Nous présentons une liste des mérites de cette définition et une liste de ses limitations.

Summary

Summary

This article is an elementary introduction to the literature devoted to the analysis of the concept of an “envy-free” allocation, that is to say an allocation such that every agent prefers his consumption bundle to anyone else's consumption bundle. We list the merits of this definition as well as its limitations.
